Audi_Q7Audi is about to unveil a vehicle that marks a superlative new development in the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment.
With a length of 5,086 mm and a wheelbase of exactly 3,002 mm (width: 1,983 mm / height 1,737 mm), the Q7 takes the lead in the SUV contest. Its occupants benefit from the comfort of incomparable spaciousness and a new dimension in versatility: no less than 28 seating and loading configurations are possible in the Q7. Up to seven occupants can be accommodated in three rows of seats. The seats in the second row are individually adjustable for fore/aft movement; in addition to this, passengers can enjoy the largest legroom in this class. Both rear seat rows can be folded flat to provide a load area of 2,035 litres if required, without the seats having to be removed. If used as a 5-seater the Q7 boasts a load capacity of 775 litres - the best in its class! When the series is launched, Audi Q7 customers have the choice of two powerful engines: the new 4.2-litre V8 with FSI petrol direct injection develops 257 kW (350 bhp) and achieves a maximum torque of 440 Newton-metres. The 3.0 TDI six-cylinder engine features a latest-generation common rail injection system that uses piezo inline injectors, thus combining the high performance of 171 kW (233 bhp) and massive torque of 500 Nm with exceptional refinement and excellent economy. Power transmission for both engine versions comes from the 6-speed tiptronic. The Audi Q7 is naturally equipped as standard with quattro permanent four-wheel drive. Its Torsen centre differential conveys power to all four wheels - on-road and off-road, achieving maximum traction and lateral stability - the prerequisites for optimum driving dynamics and motoring safety. This drive concept has become firmly established over the past 25 years: more than two million production Audis have left the assembly line with this technology and countless victories have been notched up on the racetrack and in rallies by virtue of this system. Like the Audi RS 4, the Audi Q7 features the latest-generation Torsen differential, with a standard torque split of 40 : 60 (front / rear). The driver - also thanks to virtually balanced axle load distribution - benefits from even better agility and steering precision that remains practically free of torque steer. The chassis of the Audi Q7 comprising numerous aluminium components - independent wheel suspension with double wishbones at the front and rear - excels with its all-round qualities. Steel-spring suspension and twin-tube shock absorbers are designed for sporty driving and superior comfort, even off-road. The tilted position of the rear spring and shock absorber unit reduces overall height and creates more room at the rear. 18-inch light-alloy wheels with 235/60 tyres (eight-cylinder: 255/55) are fitted as standard. All Q7 versions can be fitted optionally with 19-inch or 20-inch wheels. Also available on request: adaptive air suspension. The combination of air suspension and an electronically controlled damping system represents the perfect synthesis of decidedly sporty handling and supreme ride comfort. The standard dynamic roll stabilisation system reduces body sway about the longitudinal axis to a minimum. Variable ground clearance - starting at 180 millimetres and extending to 240 mm in lift mode - means that even challenging terrain can be negotiated. The off-road mode, with 205 mm ground clearance and adapted damper control, allows cross-country driving. The loading lip has a particularly convenient feature: it can be lowered to enable heavy objects to be loaded effortlessly into the luggage area.
The Audi Q7 will be available to order from 12 September 2005. The first deliveries will be made in the first quarter of 2006. The basic price for the Q7 3.0 TDI in Germany is 48,900 EURO.

The Audi Q7 ingeniously combines sportiness and versatility,
sophisticated technology and the luxury of a premium-class vehicle. On the
road it excels with the driving performance and dynamism of a sports car;
off-road it redefines the benchmark in its category. A vehicle that outwardly
makes no secret of its qualities and whose technology delivers on its promise
- on any road and in all conditions. The Audi Q7 - the performance SUV from
the creator of quattro. The Audi Q7 sets new trends through its design alone.
Characteristic Audi dynamism is reflected in the broad curve of the roof
and the distinctive high body surface in relation to the flat window area.
The dynamic sweep of the front section and the powerful rear end with its
sharply sloping D-posts fashion a coupé-like silhouette. Equally typical
of the current Audi formal idiom are the shoulder line and dynamic line,
which define the side section. The paintwork option of two contrasting body
colours creates a striking look. Eleven basic colours are available, three
of which are reserved exclusively for the Q7.
Yet high-tech dominates not only the dynamic aspects of the
Audi Q7. The Q7 is equipped as standard with the innovative MMI operating
concept - much praised on the A8 and A6 - which can be extended in two stages
to include a variety of additional functions. On board the performance SUV,
a number of innovative driver assistance systems, introduced for the first
time in standard production, are available on request: e.g. Audi side assist
with radar technology for lane-changing manoeuvres and the advanced parking
system with optical/acoustic guidance and rear-view camera and the
latest-generation automatic distance control system ACC+, which decelerates
the vehicle and brings it to a standstill if required. The ESP includes numerous
new functions such as hill descent assist. A special off-road mode optimises
brake performance and traction on loose surfaces. Car/trailer stabilisation
reduces the risk of fishtailing by means of targeted brake intervention.
