The Q7 is a high-performance SUV produced by Audi. The second generation of the Q7 was introduced in 2009. In 2010 the vehicle had its engine range updated and was fitted with a new 8-speed tiptronic transmission.
With the 2010 engine update, the Q7 received two new V6 gasoline units with different power outputs and a second-generation V6 TDI, with a V8 diesel completing the range. Combining forced induction and direct fuel injection, all the engines featured a high-performance recuperation system that recovers energy during braking.
The V6 TDI engine is also available in a 3.0 TDI clean diesel version. In this case the exhaust emissions have been brought down to a minimum thanks to the sensors in the combustion chambers, a common-rail fuel injection system with a delivery pressure of up to 2,000 bar and a high-performance exhaust gas recirculation system. Developing 240 hp of power and 550 Nm of torque between 2,000 and 2.250 rpm it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 215 km/h. The clean diesel version delivers an average fuel consumption of 8.4 litres per 100 km.
All the new engines were also fitted with a new automatic transmission, which is able to lower fuel consumption by about five percent. Based on a six speed unit, the eight-speed tiptronic transmission saw another friction-clutch shift element being added. Being able to shift between eight ratios keeps the jumps in engine speed low, with the engine always running close to its ideal operating point.
