Funny seeing all the existing Q7 and Q8 owners shitting on the new interior.. the reality is the new interior clearly has far less visible plastic compared to the old interior.

The passenger screen sucks but I love the lack of piano black plastic in here.

Old interior looks 10 times better though.

Design wise yes, but the plastics all felt cheap and creaky to touch.

Looks like a Volvo XC90 from the side. In other words a nice looking car.

Will be interesting to see how the new urus and Bentyga based on this will look.

And the next generation of combustion and hybrid powered Cayenne too.

I do like it but it looks just like the smaller Q5.

I thought more like the Q3, especially with the split headlights.

 

[Design FIRST]

The new Q7 appears IMHO to represent a transitional design. A bridge of sorts between the former Marc Lichte supervised design era and the incoming Massimo Frascella "Radical Next" future design paradigm. Somewhat smoother surfacing than exclusively Lichte+team exercises, not quite as razor precise, rigidly minimalistic as "Radical Next" presented in the form of the Concept C and Nuvolari.

Also, what happened to the winglet style door handles? Did they change them last minute?

Not a fan of the split headlights front end though, and I already know the side profile is going to be pretty baad.

Side profile is pretty good looking I think. Slightly reminds me of the GLS.
Rest is very bad, particular the front where literally everything sucks. Those rear lights are very, very bad too.

The next X5 is going to eat good.
