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 Q7 4.2 TDI saw its efficency enhanced from 9.9 to 9.2 litres per 100 km with the installation of a 2,000-bar fuel injection system and with the minimized internal friction. The V8 diesel continues to produce 340 hp of power but saw its torque rise up to 800 Nm, between 1,750 and 2,750 rpm. Its power enables the Q7 to reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 242 km/h.
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.
