| Revised Audi Q7 |
15 Apr |
The Audi Q7 hasn’t been out that long, and already Audi have made some important and clever revisions to the Q7.
You still get three diesel engine choices a 3.0 litre V6, 4.2 litre V8 and a 6 litre V12 and your petrol options are 3.6 litre V6 and the 4.2 litre V8.
Audi have introduced a new 3.0 litre diesel engine, which they label TDI clean diesel, that’s even more efficient than the older diesel engines.
The new 3.0 litre diesel is claimed to reach 31.7MPG which is aided by some great Audi technology like a higher performance exhaust that recirculates through a special Catalytic converter which also adds an additive to the emissions to lower them even more which is called AdBlue .
All the engines are now more efficient thanks to Audis Brake Energy Recovery System, which converts braking energy in to electrical energy. Very much like how the KER’s system works in F1 except you don’t get a power boost in the terms of BHP. Audi is claiming this cuts emissions by 5G/KM which isn’t much but if it keeps you in a lower tax band then you’re saving money.
The revised Q7 will also sport four new colours, Ibis White, Graphite Grey, Teak Brown and Orca Black. Black will be the most popular by far and we can decide we you would want a brown Audi.
The instrument panel inside the Q7’s cabin has also been redesigned with extra lighting and more chrome.
You can order the revised Q7 now but expect to be driving it in July. The 6.0 V12 TDI is the most expensive Q7 that you can buy costing a staggering £94,850 and your basic model costing only £38,575 want the clean Diesel to claim your doing your part for a greener environment then expect your wallet to be hit again for £1500 for the 3.0 Litre cleaner diesel.
