In the battle of The Big Obnoxious Grilles, this is the BMW X7"s chief enemy: the new Audi Q7. Just look at that octo-mesh on the front. They should have called it the Hannibal. But the tweaked Q7 is more than just a new set of LED lights up front and out back. Inside, for instance, it"s gone very upmarket, inheriting the touchscreen-festooned dashboard of the A6, A7 and A8. Oh, and the Q8. Is Audi getting predictable? Who"d have thought it. Ditching physical buttons and switches for the climate control and ridding the clickwheel in place of a touchscreen will - if the A6, Q8 et al are anything to go by - make it approximately 87 per cent better at collecting smudgy fingerprints and a darn sight harder to use while going along a road. A steady hand will be required if you"re to avoid a dangerously haphazard playlist selection. Or set the sat-nav destination to the middle of the North Sea.
