The Q7 also has Audi’s latest in infotainment, connectivity, and driver assistance systems as well as the Audi virtual cockpit.
The large MMI all-in-touch control unit with a large touchpad is a highlight of the Q7 and the system while families will especially like that Google Android Auto and AppleCarPlay are also available for the first time in an Audi in the Q7.
