With The 4.0 V8 Diesel.

We knew that he would come, unfortunately without the V12 (as in the previous Q7). This time get the Q7 V8 TDI on board, with 435 hp and 900 Nm is called Audi this the most powerful diesel SUV on the market. The SQ7 TDI comes in 4,8 seconds to 100 km/h, the top speed is limited to 250 km/h.

We drove ever the Q7 V12 TDI, which had a whopping 500 hp and 1000 Nm. Those times are over, now it is proudly reported that this SUV an average fuel consumption of 7.4 litres per 100 kilometres.

The 4.0 V8 TDI is re-developed (officially 3,956 cc) and the two sequentially switched exhaust-gas turbochargers are for the first time supported by an electrically driven compressor (EPC). This makes Audi for an absolute world first. These electric-powered compressor will do the job, especially in the low rpm range, that the SQ7 TDI from standstill direct power, without suffering from the so-called ‘turbogat’. The compressor makes use of a compact electric motor that allows the motor in less than 250 milliseconds of the power supplies. This washes the turbine to 70,000 revolutions per minute. The revamped 4.0 TDI has oa and therefore the consumption of a six-cylinder engine. Especially when the move is driving this very nice, thus Toilet duck Audi. It is also possible at lower speeds with only one active turbo to drive, which, in turn, is positive for consumption.

However, it is not just consumption, the clock strikes, also at the sportsmanship in mind. Things like Body roll stabilization and a Quattro sportdifferentieel must ensure that the Audi is extremely tight through the corners. For a tank than. The price for all this? €89,900 in Germany. That seems like a good price, but we know unfortunately what the prices with us do… Indeed, that are a lot higher. In the Netherlands the Audi SQ7 TDI from this spring, to order. Prices are in due course published.

UPDATE: the SQ7 vs a fighter jet? That can, check the video on autojunk.nl.
