The diesel model is known as the Q7 TDI and is said to be the world's cleanest diesel sport utility vehicle. It is EPA-rated at 17 mpg City, 25 mpg Highway, which is 30 percent better fuel economy than a comparable V6 gasoline engine. Not only does it deliver generous torque, it also has remarkable fuel economy. The 3.0 diesel makes 325 horsepower at 3750 rpm and a very robust 406 pound-feet of torque at 1750 rpm. The 4.2-liter V8 produces 350 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The 3.6-liter V6 delivers 280 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The 3.6 V now qualifies as a 50-state ULEV Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle. The Q7 is available with a 3.6-liter V6, a 4.2-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter TDI diesel turbocharged dohc V6. High-technology features such as its blind-spot warning system add to safety and convenience in the Q7. With all-wheel drive, a choice of three powerful engines and the classiest interior in the segment, the Q7 deserves serious consideration when shopping for a luxury SUV. The Audi Q7 is priced to compete with the Cadillac SRX, Lexus GX 470, and Mercedes-Benz M-Class. The Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen each use their own drivetrains. And when the weather turns sour, the Q7 benefits from Audi's decades of experience with quattro all-wheel drive. To make its cabin more luxurious and inviting, Audi has equipped the Q7 with features not found on the Touareg or Cayenne. The Q7 is also longer overall than the other two, and it is the only one to offer three-row seating. The Q7 rides on a longer wheelbase, however, and it has a more compliant ride than the Volkswagen and Porsche. The 2010 Audi Q7 benefits from some freshening inside and out, including new trim features and equipment upgrades.īased on the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg, the Q7 is a paragon of driving elegance and interior refinement. The Audi Q7 is a large, luxurious SUV long on refinement, comfort and active safety features.
