Third generation: Audi Q7: New luxury SUV with versatile drive lineup
He is the most versatile SUV in the Audi range and also emphasises this claim when it comes to the drive. Although the third generation of the large off-roader starts as a diesel, additional models are in the works.
The third generation of Audi's Q7 SUV is set to enter the market in September, priced at a minimum of €87,900. Initially, the company only hinted at a moderately hybridized 3-liter V6 diesel engine, available with either 180 kW/245 PS or, for an additional €2,600, 220 kW/299 PS. However, the Q7's versatility is just as impressive as its spacious interior, accommodating five, seven, or even six seats, and ranging from 670 to 2,075 liters of cargo space.
Audi announced the new Q7 alongside two other powertrain options at the start of the year. The first is a 2.9-liter V6 gasoline engine, producing 270 kW/367 PS, while the second is a plug-in hybrid combining a V6 gasoline engine with an electric motor and a storage battery, with charging ports included. The plug-in hybrid can be purchased with either 290 kW/394 PS or 360 kW/490 PS, depending on the customer's preference.
For those seeking even greater efficiency, Audi has hinted at an upcoming successor to the first-generation e-tron electric SUV. For those who desire even more power, however, there's the option to look abroad. In the United States, the Q7 will also be available as an S-Model equipped with a V8 engine.
