Q3 Design Edition and Audi Q7 Design Editions get cosmetic enhancements that
help distinguish them from their regular models.

finish for the bumper and wheel arch cladding. It sports quattro decals placed
at the bottom of the rear doors and clear lens tail light clusters. Also on
offer are Audi logo Projection lamps, Key cover matching the exterior colour,
Nappa leather upholstery, and a coat hanger. Appearance wise, the Q3 Design
