Audi’s new Q7, due here in 2015 is claimed to be 325kg lighter than the current model. This new version of Audi’s larger SUV has a lower centre of gravity, which Audi claim makes the car more agile to drive.
Audi claims that its efficiency improved engines mean that the new Q7 consume 26% less fuel on average. Audi engineers claim to have reduced the fuel consumption of the Q7 by as much as 28% for the TFSI model and 23% for some TDI versions.
Audi claims that the Q7 continues to be the most spacious car in its class, even though the overall dimensions are the same as the previous model. With a kerb weight of 1,995 kilograms for the 3.0 TDI model, the new Audi Q7 is claimed to be the lightest SUV in its class. This has been achieved by the use of a new lightweight, multi-material body and a new chassis.
The improved 3.0 TDI with 272bhp accelerate the new Audi Q7 from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds. The diesel V6 consumes on average just 5.7 litres of fuel per 100km (17.5km/litre) which corresponding to 149 grams of CO2/km.
The new Audi Q7 comes with the second-generation modular infotainment system. This new MMI touch control unit has a large touchpad for easy operation. Other features include the expanded services from Audi connect, the Audi tablet for the rear seat passengers and the two sound systems with 3D audio. Smartphone integration with Google Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is also new. The new Audi Q7 is one of the first cars worldwide to offer these functions.
This new Q7 comes with new driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assistant.
The Audi Q7 e-tron quattro, which will be launched later in 2015, is the first plug in hybrid from Audi with a diesel engine. It produces 373bhp of engine and electric power output and a torque of 700Nm. Audi claims that it is the world’s first diesel plug-in hybrid with quattro all-wheel drive in the premium SUV segment. It consumes just 1.7 l/100km (58.8km/litre), which corresponds to less than 50 grams CO2/km rating. A full battery charge is sufficient for a distance of 56 kilometres (34.8 miles).
