The S-Line package includes 17 inch wheels and a sports suspension which lowers the car by 30mm. It also includes the sports seats, a black trimmed interior with aluminium inserts.There are a few new driver assist systems with the facelifted A6. Audi Side Assist works at speeds of over 30km/h and uses radar sensors to detect cars in other lanes at distances of up to 50 meters away. If a vehicle is detected, a signal on the wing mirror lights up to warn the driver. Audi Lane Assist helps the driver stay in his own lane. A new radar adaptive cruise control helps keep a steady distance between the A6 and the car in front. Finally there is a rear view camera to assist with parking.

2010 Audi Q7 Inside, the trim has been updated with more wood, but the big news is the third generation MMI navigation/entertainment/information system. The nav gets a 3D interface and joystick control for finding destinations. The Sirius satellite radio also provides traffic data now and accepts voice commands to find cash, food or gas, much like Ford's TravelLink system. Powertrains for the US pretty much carryover and include the new 3.0-liter TDI diesel. Over in Europe, the optional 4.2-liter TDI V8 is now up to 340 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. The fuel consumption of the diesel V8 has been reduced with mileage on the European combined cycle going from 21.2 to 23.8 mpg (US)

2010 Audi Q7 Audi FSI direct injection gasoline technology was born in the R8 Le Mans-winning sports car found on racetracks from 2000-2005, with its first U.S. application in the 2005 A6 3.2 FSI V6 sedan launching in late 2004 calendar year. Using many of the same principles as TDI clean diesel technology, its high compression ratios allow for more power and torque with better fuel economy, while increasing performance levels from previous engine generations. Audi Q7's 3.6 FSI V6 engine and its 4.2 FSI V8 engines complement the TDI clean diesel engine joining the Audi Q7 family in April 2009.
