Within the framework of the Detroit car dealership, the world premiere of the updated full -sized Audi Q7 subcompact will take place, under which more economical power units will take their place, whose fuel consumption decreased by 26%.
In addition, the car received new information and entertainment systems, as well as the latest auxiliary systems for the driver. I would like to note that the total weight of the car decreased by 325 kilograms.
A similar result was obtained as a result of improving the design of the body of the new Q7. Now the weight of the three-liter TDI PARKENTER is a little less than 2 tons (1995 kilograms). According to Audi, this indicator is the smallest in the SUV class. And the appearance of the novelty looks “slimmer” predecessor. True, now it is difficult to call Q7 a full -fledged SUV – outwardly, the car resembles a solid station wagon, the luggage compartment of which ranges from 890 liters to 2075 liters (with folded rear seats).
For some time after the release of the first serial version, the 3-liter V-shaped “six” will be responsible for the Audi Q7 movement. The power of the power plant will be 333 liters.With. (440 nm of torque). From zero to the first hundred, the car will accelerate in 6.1 seconds. The diesel version will be 0.6 seconds more. Later, configurations with a 2-liter TFSI engine and a 3-liter TDI, with a capacity of 252 and 258 “horses”, respectively, will be available. In both cases, a 8-speed robotic transmission will stand on the crossover.
The last option is considered the most interesting. This is Q7 E-Tron. This variation is a debut “hybrid” Audi with a diesel installation. Charging the battery will be carried out through a regular household outlet. Pares with a 3-liter TDI (258 liters.With.) the 128-horsepower electric motor will work. In total, the return of the “ecological” installation will be 373 liters.With. (700 nm). According to the developers, in only one electric trash, the car will be able to overcome about 56 kilometers, and the official average consumption in general seems unrealistic – 1.7 liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers.
Among the features of the updated Q7, one can note the digest dashboard familiar to everyone. The same is installed on a new generation TT. After you can distinguish an improved MMI information and entertainment system with a touchpad and a smartphone integration function. This system is a representative of the second generation. Among the additional “chips” for the driver can be noted: a system of assistance when getting into the cork and the inclusion of adaptive cruise control.
The official start for receiving the first orders for Q7 of the second generation will be given in the first half of 2016. By the way, this version is the second generation Q7. Official dealers will receive the first models no earlier than the summer of 2016. The price of a basic package with a 3-liter gasoline unit will be 62.900 euros, and its diesel “counterpart” will cost 60.800 euros.
