Under the bonnet of the new Audi Q7 3.0 TDI is the very latest series production diesel engine the brand has to offer. The latest generation of the V6 celebrated its debut in the A5 Coupé and recently also became available in the new A4 saloon. It produces a peak torque of 550 Nm, more than 90% of which is available across a broad speed range from 1,500 to 3,250 rpm. The Audi Q7 3.0 TDI accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and has a top speed of 216 km/h. The six-cylinder engine is able to fully exploit its superb pulling power at any speed.
The Audi Q7 3.0 TDI transmits its power through a six-speed tiptronic gearbox and a sportily configured quattro drive train. In normal operation, this transmits 40 percent of the drive force to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels. In addition to steel springs, the optional pneumatic adaptive air suspension is also available – this marries dynamic handling with the ride comfort of the luxury class.
The beefed up bestseller in the Audi Q7 range – more than 80 percent of all Audi Q7 vehicles sold in Germany have the 3.0 TDI under the bonnet – is available now, with prices starting at € 51,200.
