Geneva Preview: Audi Q7 V12 TDI Coastline Concept

Along with the production version of the 500 Hp Q7 V12 TDI (see pics and details here), Audi will also unwrap a concept version of it diesel-powered luxury SUV in Geneva. The Q7 Coastline is inspired from the world of yachts and we’re not talking about size (…) but in concern of its modified interior.

The Q7 concept’s interior is dominated by alabaster white, a color which -you guessed it, is popular on luxury yachts. Also in luminous white are the carpet, embroidered floor mats, pillar trim, roof lining, seat upholstery made of plush velvet and Valcona leather, seatbelts, steering wheel, the front of the cockpit, the door trim even the switches on the dashboard. Additional accents are set by aluminum elements on components such as the air inlet nozzles and door handles. -Continued

But what really gives the Q7 a yacht-like feeling is the wood décor. Parts of the armrest, the gearshift lever knob and the inner door sill trims are made of American walnut veneer. The same combination can also be found on the floor of the luggage compartment, which contains two integrated folding boxes. Further touches include nut brown piping on the seats as well as fine brown piping on the instrument panel and the door.
