Design and features
Concept version
The E SUV concept uses the AUDI 360 Driving Assist Package, it is likely that the production E7X will also use this. Matrix LED headlights are also present.[7] It also used 23-inch wheels wrapped in 285/40 R23 Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires.[8]
Production version
The design language introduced by the E5 sportback is re-used for the E7X.[2]
Spyshots of a prototype model from July 2025 show a closed front end with headlights hidden under the bonnet line. Prototype models also have a sizeable air intake and sloped A-pillars. A LiDAR sensor on the roof is present and digital mirrors are used instead of side-view mirrors, Retractable door handles are also present. The sculpted fenders and sleek roofline of the E5 are also present on the E7X prototype.[9]
The doors use a frameless design. The interior is expected to mirror that of the E5, but the only detail known about the interior is that there are horizontally arranged ambient light strips on the door panels.[3]
It is planned to be the first production model equipped with Level 3 autonomous driving capability provided by Momenta.[10][11]
Powertrain
The powertrain of the E7X was expected to mirror that of the E5 sportback and is built on the same 800-volt architecture.[12] This includes the same motors, batteries, and electric control system that is the same as in the IM LS7, available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions.[13]
The E7X produces 402 horsepower (300 kW; 408 PS) in rear-wheel-drive form and 671 horsepower (500 kW; 680 PS) in all-wheel-drive form. The batteries will use a ternary lithium chemistry and will be produced by CATL.[4] The battery selection for the EV version include a 100 kWh pack weighing 552 kilograms (1,217 lb) and a 109.3 kWh pack weighing 578 kilograms (1,274 lb). The smaller battery achieves a CLTC range of 615–705 km (382–438 mi), while the larger pack achieves 660–751 km (410–467 mi).[14]
EREV versions will be made available later on in the model's life cycle.[15]
