Now in its 2nd generation, the Audi Q7 is the German automaker’s only three-row crossover. The popular luxury SUV slots above the midsize Q5 and compact Q3 entries.
The first-generation Audi Q7 hit the U.S. in 2007. Audi’s very first three-row crossover collective its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. Originally, a 350-hp Four.2-liter V-8 was suggested followed by a 280-hp Three.6-liter V-6. In 2009, Audi added a Trio.0-liter turbodiesel V-6. A six-speed automatic and Quattro all-wheel drive was standard.
In a Very first Test of a two thousand seven Audi Q7, Four.Two we said, “All in, the Q7 is ready to leave a meaningful mark on the premium crossover segment… The company clearly has a lot railing on this bet. But given the Q7’s engaging mix of style and substance, it’s more like a well-calculated risk than a gamble.”
After a year with a two thousand seven Audi Q7 Four.Two Premium S Line, we concluded: “Perhaps it’s fitting we conducted our long-term test primarily in the environs of Tinseltown. The Audi Q7 can raise your pulse and take your breath away, but as an SUV, its appeal is mostly due to excellent makeup and special effects.”
In addition to a face-lift, the two thousand eleven Audi Q7 got a fresh supercharged Trio.0-liter V-6 in place of the previous gas engines. The fresh engine was available in two states of tune: two hundred seventy two hp and two hundred ninety five lb-ft of torque or three hundred thirty three hp and three hundred twenty five lb-ft. A fresh eight-speed automatic backed the fresh gas engine as well as the 225-hp, four hundred six lb-ft Three.0-liter turbodiesel V-6.
After toughly a decade on sale, the second-generation Audi Q7 arrived for the two thousand seventeen model year. The Q7 rails on Volkswagen Group’s MLB Evo platform constructed of high-strength steel packaged in aluminum assets panels. Albeit the second-gen Q7 was expected for the two thousand sixteen model year, its development was delayed a year for an emergency redesign because the original styling was said to be “too brutal and ostentatious.”
Originally, the Q7 will be powered by a 333-hp Three.0-liter supercharged V-6 followed by a 252-hp Two.0-liter turbocharged I-4 and, if Audi can get the engine certified in the U.S., a 272-hp, four hundred forty three lb-ft Trio.0-liter turbodiesel V-6. Audi has also showcased a Q7 e-tron Trio.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 paired with an electrified motor, but hasn’t confirmed that variant for the U.S.
More spectacle, tech, and safety than ever before.
