Starting with the changes in design, let us begin with the tall center console which replaces the previous heavy center stack with those traditional ac vents and knobs. The AC vents are now housed alongside (as in height) instrument cluster while the display screen now sits over dashboard. Sitting right in front of driver is a newly designed three-spoke steering wheel hiding behind it a digital instrument cluster. Moving towards comfort and luxury, the interior gets itself drenched in finest materials that give it a smooth finish and luxurious touch. Inside you’ll find leather, aluminum and wood trims marking their remarkable presence to make you feel serene. Last but not the least in the interior of Audi Q7 2016 we’ll talk about the new MMI system which now features almost anything and everything you need while the rear seat passengers have an option of going with two 10.1 inch LED tablets as monitors.
