The revised Audi Q7 - Efficient and powerful - the drives

The program opens with the 45 TDI quattro, a 3-liter diesel engine that delivers 170 kW (231 hp) of power and a generous torque of 500 Newton-meters. The plateau is available from 1,500 to 3,000 revolutions. From a standstill, the Audi Q7 45 TDI reaches the 100 km/h mark in 7.1 seconds. The top speed is 226 km/h. This engine is followed by the 50 TDI quattro. The more powerful version delivers 210 kW (286 hp) and 600 Newton-meters of torque. This allows the large SUV to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 241 km/h. In the Audi Q7 55 TFSI, a 6-cylinder gasoline engine with three liters of displacement and direct injection produces 250 kW (340 hp). In the wide speed range of 1,370 to 4,500 revolutions, it develops a maximum torque of 500 Newton-meters. The turbocharged gasoline engine accelerates the Audi Q7 from zero to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. It reaches its top speed at an electronically limited 250 km/h. All V6 engines in the Audi Q7 have a towing capacity of up to 3.5 tons. This allows for confident towing of residential caravans as well as horse trailers, for example. The engines work with an 8-speed tiptronic, the permanent all-wheel drive quattro, and the mild-hybrid system, which can reduce fuel consumption in customer operation by up to 0.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Its key components are a lithium-ion battery and a belt-driven starter generator (RSG) that supplies power to the SUV's 48-volt main electrical system. Between 55 and 160 km/h, the Q7 can coast with the engine off for up to 40 seconds when drivers release the accelerator.
