Audi Q7 is a car that represents the world-renowned German concern in the off-road segment. .Audi Q7 is a successful combination of sporty character and versatility, state-of-the-art technology and luxury of an executive car.
The driver will be captivated by the driving performance and dynamics of a sports car. .the brainchild of the legendary quattro all-wheel drive on any road and in any conditions.
The Audi Q7 sets new trends. The car was specially designed as the largest European jeep. .the dimensions are impressive: length - 5086 (more than that of the Hummer H2), width - 1983, height - 1737 mm. The base is no less impressive - 3002 mm. .its sweeping lines, the gentle curvature of the roof, the protruding surfaces of the body, which, in contrast to the flat windows, create the perfect harmony of sporty character and luxury.
.the swift curves of the front and rear overhangs, powerful rear ribs with strongly angled stanchions create a powerful and memorable silhouette. The Auto Union-style radiator grille rests on a powerful, yet sleek bumper. .they decided not to be smart with the shape of the headlights - they are extremely laconic and at the same time very effective. The fiery stern is crowned with the now branded wing-like taillights. And the front bumper is continued in powerful stampings along the perimeter of the body and impressive wheel arches.
.The driving advantages are the independent suspension of all wheels with double wishbones, ensuring high off-road capabilities. Standard resilient elements are springs. .and as an option, an adaptive air suspension with an electronic system for changing the characteristics of the shock absorbers can be installed. The Q7's ground clearance can be varied from 180 to 240 mm. When the off-road mode is turned on, it sets the ground clearance to 205 mm. .and it also has the function of adjusting the loading height. ESP (installed as standard) has gained several new features: hill descent assist and trailer stabilization system. .for a surcharge, you can choose the Audi Side Assist system with radar control of maneuvers for changing lane and advanced parking sensors with light and sound alarms and a rear-view camera.
Despite its size, the Q7 is capable of racing at the speed of a sports car. .the amazing dynamism of this giant is striking, and this does not in any way affect the degree of passage of difficult sections of the road. The car behaves well both on the high-speed highway and on deep off-road.
The large SUV Audi Q7 is beautiful not only outside, but also inside.
.Standard equipment includes the innovative MMI operating system, well known to motorists from the A6 and A8 models. The powerful SUV is equipped with various driver assistance systems, which are being introduced into series production for the first time.
.the huge trunk can be closed and opened with a button - you will never get dirty again. The electronic owner recognition system will allow you to open doors and start the engine without removing the key from your pocket.
The Q7 is literally packed with options, but that's what gives the driver endless choices. .you can relax, delegate authority, and the car will do everything by itself: change gears, keep the cruising speed convenient for you, turn on and off the lights, scrub the windshield wipers, turn off the music when the mobile phone rings, monitor the distance to neighboring cars when .rebuilding in a dense stream, heart-rending screaming parking sensors when parking and even control the dividing line.
.The electronic adjustment of the driver's seat has a memory for the preferences of two drivers.
For passengers - other joys. According to the creators, the Q7 implements a new approach to transforming the interior: the car allows you to create at least 28 options for seating and loading space. .three rows of seats can accommodate up to seven people.
The second row seats have independent longitudinal adjustment. The second and third rows of seats can be folded down to create a flat-floor luggage compartment that can hold 2,035 liters (there is no need to remove the seats). .in the five-seater version, the luggage compartment volume of the Q7 is 775 liters.
Under the hood is a large, powerful and nimble 4.2-liter V8 petrol engine with 350 hp. There is also the so-called economical turbocharged diesel version: V6 engine, three liters, 233 horses. .the engine is paired with a six-speed automatic Tiptronic with manual gearshift and paddles on the steering wheel.
The Audi Q7 standard includes the Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, which has a 25-year history. .the latest generation Torsen center differential distributes the torque between the front and rear axles in a 40:60 ratio in "standard" road conditions.
The Audi Q7 remained unchanged for three years. In 2009, a restyled version of the model was presented at the Shanghai Motor Show. .the car received new bumpers, a radiator grill with a chrome "fence", updated LED optics. From the side, the restyled Q7 can only be distinguished by slightly modified sills. Four were added to the previous exterior colors, including the trendy brown metallic.
.the interior has changed little: additional trim options appeared, LED backlighting, the instrument panel received a larger display. Also, the updated Q7 has a three-spoke steering wheel and an abundance of chrome trim.
We also worked on the line of engines. .the emphasis was on economy and ecology. So, the petrol 3.6 FSI tempered appetites due to the new recuperation system. Its meaning is that when braking, the excess energy generated by the motor is taken up by the battery. And then - during overclocking - the battery gives back energy. .as a result, the load on the generator is reduced and the car requires less fuel. Diesel 3.0 TDI "ecological" modernization also did not pass. The unit has received a new injection system and exhaust neutralization. The engineers also reduced the consumption of diesel fuel - by 0.2 liters for every 100 kilometers (up to 9.1). .power was added to the 4.2 TDI turbodiesel, it increased by 14 hp. up to 340 hp The pinnacle of the powertrain lineup is the 500 hp 6-liter V12 that appeared on the Q7 in 2008. It accelerates the car from zero to a hundred in just 5.5 seconds. .transmission - six-speed "automatic", no options.
Among the innovations, it is also worth noting the custom-fitted carbon-ceramic brake discs with a diameter of 420 mm at the front and 370 at the rear. But such powerful brakes can only be put on versions with a V8 and V12 engine. .Among the new options are a few more interesting things, for example, a warning system for the intersection of solid lines, adaptive cruise control, which allows you to maintain a distance from the vehicle in front at speeds from 30 to 200 km / h, as well as a new Bang & Olufsen audio system from 14
