The unprecedented Audi Q7 combines all the rugged energy of an SUV with the
looks and high performance of a stylish sports coupé. As the ultimate expression
of quattro permanent four-wheel-drive, it’s designed to take you off the beaten
track and beyond; helped, of course, by a choice of incredibly powerful engines.
Capable of reaching 62 mph in between 8.5 and 6.4 seconds, these engines impart
a level of acceleration not normally associated with an SUV; and the exhilarating
performance credentials don’t end there. 18” alloy wheels and 5-mode adaptive
air suspension are also included as standard.
The Audi Q7, however, isn’t all about performance-fuelled hedonism. Beneath its
sleek, sporty exterior styling and luxurious interior finish lies a wealth of practical
touches – everything from climate control and heat-insulating tinted glass to
rain-activated automatic windscreen wipers. The Audi Q7 also features a massive
amount of luggage space, with seats that fold away quickly and simply to form a
level load floor, revealing up to 2,035 litres of additional storage space. And should
you ever manage to fill it from floor to ceiling, the Audi Q7 also thankfully comes
with roof rails and rear acoustic parking. With this much Vorsprung durch Technik,
there’s little room left for improvement.

V6 3.6 FSI and V8 4.2 FSI
All Audi Q7 petrol engines feature FSI® direct-injection – a unique Audi technology originally
developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver increased power and torque as
well as enhanced fuel efficiency. The way it does this is, in theory, very simple. Precisely the
right amount of fuel and air are injected directly into the combustion chambers, enabling the
engine to ‘breathe’ more easily. At the same time, electronics monitor the engine load and
adjust the injection process. The result – reduced heat-loss and increased output, with around
a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and significantly lower exhaust emissions. Ideal for the
buyer who wants a sporty, exhilarating drive without the drawbacks of excessive fuel costs or
higher emissions.
V6 3.0 TDI and V8 4.2 TDI
All diesel engines from Audi are known as TDI. This impressive technology was originally
pioneered by Audi in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines of the
past. Like its FSI petrol counterpart, the TDI diesel engine is designed for power and performance,
with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. All Audi Q7 TDI engines are based on the common
rail system. Here, fuel is stored and kept at constant pressures of up to, 600 bar, ready to feed a
series of highly accurate piezo injectors, which control the rate and point of injection.

Transmission
The 6-speed tiptronic transmission system is a form of
automatic transmission available on all Audi Q7 models.
The technology incorporates DSP – or the Dynamic Shift
Programme which aligns and converts the engine’s high
power and torque into both sporty performance and
operating convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes, reduced
weight and optimised gearshifting. In the ‘D’ (Drive) and ‘S’
(Sport) programme, the advanced electronics used in tiptronic
respond efficiently to every driver input, helping to prevent
unwanted gear-changes. The driver can override automatic
mode by moving the gear lever into a tiptronic shift-gate,
enabling spontaneous gear-changing for a sportier driving style.

It’s the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever since it was first introduced
over 25 years ago – a technology that delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty
characteristics which make the Audi Q7 so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro permanent four-
wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better deceleration,
four permanently-driven wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or pulling
the car as needed, for a driving experience that’s both dynamic and safe. In the Audi Q7 drive
power is continuously distributed between the front and rear axles depending on weather
conditions, road surface and gradient.
