Description
How the All-New Audi Q7 Is Made | Inside a 1,000-Robot Factory.
See how the all-new, third-generation Audi Q7 is made at the Volkswagen Slovakia factory in Bratislava. This complete factory tour follows the new luxury SUV from robotic body construction to final assembly and end-of-line testing.
The Audi Q7 lightweight-body facility covers more than 110,000 square meters and contains over 1,000 robots. Advanced joining processes include laser and plasma welding, flow drill screwing, clinching and friction element welding.
After the body structure is completed, workers precisely align the hood, doors and tailgate. The painted body then enters final assembly, where the main wiring harness, cockpit module, headliner, rear lights, Audi rings, windows, windshield, seats and interior trim are installed.
Watch the body meet the complete powertrain and chassis during the “marriage” process. The front-end module is then fitted before automated systems prepare the wheel bolts, tighten the wheels and fill the vehicle with operating fluids. Finally, the doors, model badging and tailgate trim are installed before the completed Audi Q7 enters end-of-line testing.
Audi has manufactured the Q7 in Bratislava since 2005. In 2025, the plant celebrated 20 years of Audi production and built 93,106 Audi vehicles.
