Audi Q7 e SQ7 Facelift 2020

[dindi]

Restyling anche per Q7. Personalmente lo trovo migliorativo. In vendita dall'autunno 2019.

Tutta la gamma Q7 2020 viene aggiornata con sistemi 48V e diventa Mild-Hybrid. Di serie fari anteriori con tecnologia Matrix-LED, mentre saranno optional quelli LASER. Rispetto al modello precedente, la nuova Q7 è più grande. È cresciuta di 11 millimetri. Supera i suoi diretti concorrenti nella lunghezza interna e nell'abitabilità, che garantisce uno spazio enorme per le gambe, gomiti e le spalle. Sul cruscotto c'è un nuovo spazio di archiviazione.

Tra le dotazioni di serie troviamo il portellone elettrico, che faciliterà l'accesso al bagagliaio. Come opzione, si può aggiungere l'apertura tramite il controllo gestuale con il tuo piede. E parlando di equipaggiamento opzionale, nella lista troveremo la terza fila di due posti con la funzione di ripiegamento elettrico. C'è anche un pacchetto di illuminazione ambientale, climatizzatore automatico a quattro zone, sistema audio 3D Advanced Soud di Bang & Olufsen e pacchetto di qualità dell'aria con fragranze.

Il fulcro degli interni sarà il Sistema MMI Navigation Plus, che fornirà numerose opzioni di connettività. Include lo standard di connessione 5G e un hotspot Wi-Fi. Dà accesso ai servizi di Audi connect e fa il suo ingresso il servizio vocale Alexa di Amazon basato sul cloud. 

Al fine di migliorare il comportamento dinamico della nuova Audi Q7, l'azienda tedesca ha apportato varie modifiche alle sospensioni. La barra anti rollio attiva è ora disponibile come optional. Il sistema di sterzata integrale sulle quattro ruote è anche disponibile a richiesta. A bassa velocità consente alle ruote posteriori di ruotare fino a 5 gradi nella direzione opposta rispetto alle ruote anteriori, migliorando così l'agilità.

• More powerful: new design with clear SUV characteristics and prestige factor
• More dynamic: active roll stabilization, air suspension and all-wheel steering
• More cutting edge: touch operating concept, HD Matrix laser light and 48-volt mild hybrid

 

 

²The Audi Q7 is getting an all-round update – both visually and technically. The large SUV features the new design of the Q family and offers superb dynamics and excellent comfort, in addition to its superior spaciousness. HD Matrix LED headlights including laser light, the mild hybrid technology and the digital operating concept are just some of its highlights. The new Audi Q7 will be launched in Europe in mid September. Prices in Germany start at 66,900 euros.

 

Robust look: the exterior design

The Audi Q7 demonstrates the hallmark SUV elements of the current design language. It bears the large octagon-shaped Singleframe, with six upright slats providing the structure. As such, the SUV looks even more powerful. The two-part side air inlets have a much more expressive line, just like the sill area that underscores the large SUV’s ground clearance and, in turn, its offroad capabilities. The headlights, optionally in HD Matrix LED technology with Audi laser light, emphasize with their contour and light signature the width of the full-size model. On the restyled rear, a striking chrome strip creates the visual connection between the flat rear lights with their technical-looking graphics and carries forward the horizontal body line. The designers achieved the clear view with taut, flat surfaces, which span the entire width particularly in the license plate region. The Audi Q7 is even more striking with the optional S line exterior: A blade in the front bumper, sportily accentuated underbody protection at the rear along with full paint finish and 19-inch wheels come standard.

Sporty onroad, powerful off: the suspension

Audi has substantially enhanced the dynamic facets of the Q7. In addition to the optimized all‑wheel steering that allows the rear wheels to turn as much as five degrees in the opposite direction, there is the option of electromechanical active roll stabilization. Adjustable stabilizers reduce the body movements on uneven roads when driving in a straight line. With a sporty driving style, the focus is on optimum roll compensation – the tendency of the car to lean into the bend is reduced substantially.

As such, the Audi Q7 is maneuverable, precise and agile in urban traffic and on hairpin bends. In contrast, the Q7 behaves as a highly comfortable, poised touring SUV with excellent ride comfort on freeways – particularly in conjunction with the adaptive air suspension. It also provides variable ground clearance and prepares the Audi Q7 with its standard quattro drive for terrain off the beaten track. The relevant offroad mode can be selected via the standard Audi drive select dynamic handling system with its seven profiles. Air suspension comes standard on all seven-seater Q7 models. The S line exterior includes the slightly firmer adaptive air suspension sport, which lowers the ride height by 15 millimeters (0.6 in) compared with the air suspension system.

Mild hybrid technology standard: the drivetrain

All of the engines in the Audi Q7 are coupled to an eight-speed tiptronic and the permanent all‑wheel drive. A choice of two diesel engines will be available at market launch. Shortly after the market introduction in September, a gasoline unit, followed also by a plug-in hybrid model, will join the lineup. In the Q7 45 TDI quattro tiptronic (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 7.1 - 6.8 (33.1 - 34.6 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km*: 186 - 179 (299.3 - 288.1 g/mi)), the diesel unit produces 170 kW (231 metric hp) of power and 500 Nm (368.8 lb-ft) of torque. It accelerates the large SUV from a standstill to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 7.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 229 km/h (142.3 mph). The more powerful version in the Q7 50 TDI quattro tiptronic (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 6.9 - 6.6 (34.1 - 35.6 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km*: 181 - 174 (291.3 - 280.0 g/mi)) delivers 210 kW (286 metric hp) and 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft). It sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 6.3 seconds; top speed is 241 km/h (149.8 mph).

The standard mild hybrid technology plays a major part in the efficiency of the engines. In customer operation, this technology can reduce consumption by up to 0.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Its central component, the belt alternator starter (BAS), powers a 48-volt main electrical system in which a compact lithium-ion battery stores the energy. During braking, the BAS can recover up to 8 kW of power and feed it back into the battery. If the driver takes their foot off the accelerator at speeds between 55 and 160 km/h (34.2 and 99.4 mph), the Audi Q7 recuperates energy, rolls in idle or coasts for up to 40 seconds with the engine switched off. The BAS restarts the engine the next time the accelerator is depressed, and does so faster and more gently than a conventional starter. The start‑stop range begins at 22 km/h (13.7 mph).

Luxury-class lounge: the interior

Whether with five or seven seats – the Audi Q7 combines immense prestige with practical everyday qualities. Through its new design, the large SUV has now grown eleven millimeters (0.4 in) to 5,063 millimeters (16.6 ft) long. It measures 1,970 millimeters (6.5 ft) wide and 1,741 millimeters (5.7 ft) (including roof aerial) high. The Audi Q7 outdoes its direct competitors with interior length as well as headroom and elbow room in the front and rear. A host of storage compartments, a new compartment in the instrument panel as well as the high load capacity provide functional utility value.

 

Depending on the position of the rear seat backs the luggage compartment on the five-seater version offers between 865 and 2,050 liters (30.5-72.4 cu ft) of capacity – the latter with a flat load area. An electric tailgate is standard; foot-activated gesture control is available as an option. Audi optionally supplies the rear seat bench plus; all three seats can be moved individually fore/aft and the backrest angle adjusted, as well as a third seat row with two electrically lowerable seats.

The cockpit architecture harmonizes perfectly with the new, digital operating concept, which incorporates two large touchscreens. They provide haptic and acoustic feedback when clicking on the touch controls. When off, the top display slots almost invisibly into the large black decorative surface. All elements refer logically to one another, from the flat air vent strip to the wide console on the center tunnel. The optional contour ambient lighting package illuminates the interior in the dark. Convenient equipment options include four-zone automatic air conditioning, a power-assist function to close the doors quietly, the Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced Sound System and the air quality package with fragrancing and ionizer. Highlights in the seat lineup include the customized contour seats with their numerous adjustment functions and the S sport seats plus, both available with climate control and massage function.

High-end connectivity: Audi connect and assist systems

The MMI navigation plus delivers top-of-the-line connectivity. It features LTE Advanced, a Wi-Fi hotspot, natural voice control and the extensive Audi connect portfolio. The latter ranges from traffic information online, navigation with Google Earth, to the hybrid radio. The cloud-based Amazon voice service Alexa, which is integrated into the MMI operating system, is also new. The same applies to the Car-to-X service traffic light information, which is being rolled out in stages in selected European cities. Interconnection with the city’s infrastructure allows the vehicle to receive information from the central traffic light computer via a server, enabling the driver to select a speed to match the next green-light phase. The all-digital Audi virtual cockpit – and the optional head-up display – provide an individual speed recommendation as well as the remaining time until the next green-light phase if the driver is already waiting at a red light. The system thus contributes to a predictive and efficient driving style and facilitates a steady flow of traffic.

The adaptive cruise assist, which combines the functions of adaptive speed assist, traffic jam assist and active lane assist, reduces the driver’s workload – particularly on long journeys. In combination with efficiency assist it brakes and accelerates the Audi Q7 in anticipation of the conditions ahead. The emergency assist is also new: If the driver is inactive, the system brings the car to a stop and initiates protective and rescue measures. This function is active in assisted and manual modes.

Press Release:

 

Cita

• 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 373 kW (507 PS) and 770 Nm (567.9 lb-ft) of torque
• Suspension comes with all-wheel steering and sport air suspension as standard, and with a sport differential and roll stabilization as an option
• New connectivity and assist services, and automatic parking upon request
• Both models will be launched on the European markets in the fall

 

 

Audi is presenting the SQ7 and the SQ8 with new TFSI engines. The brand is thus responding to the worldwide trend toward sporty gasoline engines in the high-performance SUV segment. In terms of their suspension, the Audi SQ7 TFSI² and the Audi SQ8 TFSI³ offer many high-tech components, and new connectivity and assist functions round off the technology package. The large S models will be launched on the European markets successively, starting in the fall of 2020.

 

373 kW (507 PS) and 770 Nm (567.9 lb-ft) of torque that is constantly available from 2,000 to 4,000 rpm: The 4.0 TFSI has an easy job with the Audi SQ7² and the Audi SQ8³. The twin-turbo V8 accelerates both models from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.1 seconds, and it takes just 3.8 seconds to sprint from 80 to 120 km/h (49.7–74.6 mph). The electronics limit the propulsion at 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Depending on the equipment, the SQ7 TFSI consumes between 12.1 and 12.0 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (19.4–19.6 US mpg), which corresponds to CO₂ emissions of 278 to 276 grams per kilometer (447.4–444.2 g/mi). For the SQ8 TFSI, these figures are also 12.1 to 12.0 liters (19.4–19.6 US mpg) and 276 to 275 grams of CO₂ (444.2–442.6 g/mi)).

The 4.0 TFSI, which draws on 3,996 cm³ of displacement, is a high-tech engine. The cylinder barrels in the lightweight aluminum engine block are covered with a layer of iron that is applied by means of plasma spraying. It reduces the amount of friction and therefore also reduces both fuel consumption and wear. A special efficiency technology is activated when driving with a moderate style: The cylinder on demand (COD) system deactivates four cylinders temporarily by switching off the injection and ignition and keeping the intake and exhaust valves closed.

The cylinders must be well filled when the driver accesses the full performance of the 4.0 TFSI. For this purpose, the intake and exhaust camshafts can be adjusted by a crank angle of 50 degrees, depending on the operating conditions. This precisely controlled valve overlap ensures that the gas exchange and combustion chamber filling are always adjusted at lightning speed.

The two twin-scroll turbochargers, each of which supplies one cylinder bank with up to 1.5 bar of pressure (relative), also enable a gas exchange with virtually no loss. This results in harmonious power delivery and spontaneous response time. The cylinder heads are designed with the intake side on the outside and the exhaust side on the inside, while the turbochargers and their intercooler are fitted in the 90-degree inner V. This layout enables short gas paths between the outlet duct and the drive side of the exhaust turbine with minimal flow loss.

Its 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 ignition sequence gives the 4.0 TFSI a distinct sporty and sonorous sound. There is a flap in each tailpipe of the exhaust system that modulates the sound depending on the load and engine speed. Active engine mounts reduce the transmission of vibrations to the body. Their electromagnetic actuators act as loudspeakers: They emit impulses via the membranes that correspond exactly to the engine’s vibrations but are phase-shifted by 180 degrees. According to the law of interference, the two waves largely cancel each other out.

A quickly shifting eight-speed tiptronic and the quattro permanent all-wheel drive put the power of the 4.0 TFSI onto the road. A clutch in the automatic transmission engages freewheeling when the driver takes their foot off the accelerator. In regular driving operation, the purely mechanical center differential distributes the drive torque to the front axle and rear axle at a ratio of 40:60. If traction decreases at one axle, it directs most of the torque to the other axle – up to 70% to the front or up to 85% to the rear axle.

With the optional advanced suspension package, customers receive the sport differential in addition. When cornering at high speed, it shifts the torque between the rear wheels via two multi-plate clutches, with most of the torque being transferred to the wheel with better grip at the outside of the curve. This torque vectoring makes handling even more agile and stable: When turning in or accelerating, the large sports SUV is literally pressed into the curve and understeer is heavily minimized.

Audi provides the SQ7 TFSI² and the SQ8 TFSI³ with two sporty suspension modules as standard. The adaptive air suspension sport integrates controlled dampers. It is capable of varying the ride height of the body by up to 90 millimeters (3.5 in). The all-wheel steering consists of two components. The front axle steering, which has a sporty and direct gear ratio of 13.3:1, increases the vehicle’s agility and maneuverability considerably.

A spindle drive influences the rear wheels: At low speed, it turns them by up to 5 degrees in the opposite direction, which makes it easier to maneuver. As of a speed of about 60 km/h (37.3 mph), it turns them slightly in the same direction for improved stability during fast changes of direction in particular.

The advanced suspension package includes another module: electromechanical active roll stabilization (EAWS). There is a compact electric motor on both axles that is coupled with a transmission. It divides the stabilizer into two halves. When driving straight ahead, it allows them to act largely independently of each other, which reduces sprung mass vibrations on uneven roads. At a sporty pace, the electric motor twists the two halves in opposite directions so that they act as a unit. The car now leans into the curve considerably less, and handling becomes even more taut. The drive energy for the EAWS is provided by a super capacitor that operates with a state of charge of 48 volts. The compact and light energy storage unit, which can absorb and emit strong currents in a very short time, supplies the two electric motors with a maximum power of 1.5 kW each.

As a central control unit, the electronic chassis platform (ECP) connects the controlled suspension systems, with the exception of all-wheel steering. The driver experiences this close and lightning-fast coordination as maximum handling precision. They decide how the controlled suspension components as well as the 4.0 TFSI and the tiptronic are to operate via the Audi drive select system. The driver can choose from seven driving profiles: comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency, allroad, offroad, and individual.

As standard, the Audi SQ7 TFSI² is fitted with 20-inch wheels and tires from the 285/45 series, while the SQ8 TFSI³ comes with 21-inch wheels and tires in the same format. Alternatively, Audi and Audi Sport provide other 21 and 22-inch wheels, and 23-inch wheels with tires in the 295/35 format are even available for the large SUV Coupé. Brake discs measuring 400 millimeters (15.7 in) in diameter are fitted to the front axle, with 350 millimeter (13.8 in) discs on the rear axle. The black brake calipers – optionally also available in red – feature an S logo on the front axle. Upon request, Audi will also install a brake system with particularly powerful and durable carbon-fiber ceramic discs. They have a diameter of 420 millimeters (16.5 in) at the front and 370 millimeters (14.6 in) at the rear. The calipers are painted in anthracite gray.

Sporty look: the exterior design

Thanks to its S-specific details, the special status of the Audi SQ7 TFSI² and the Audi SQ8 TFSI³ becomes apparent at first glance. The front features double slats in the Singleframe and a distinctly three-dimensional blade in the bumper, while the side air inlets are filled with a honeycomb grid.

At the side, the exterior mirror housings in aluminum look catch the eye, while the underbody protection with its powerful design, a honeycomb grid insert, and the four characteristic tailpipes provide highlights at the rear. Some attachments are designed in matt silver, including the frame of the Singleframe, which is designed as a wide mask in the SQ8 TFSI³. If the customer ordered the black styling package, the frame as well as other parts are painted black.

Sporty character: interior and equipment

The elegant sporty look is continued in the spacious interior of the Audi SQ7 TFSI² and the SQ8 TFSI³. The sport seats are upholstered with leather and Alcantara in black or rotor gray. Their backrests feature S embossing and color-coordinated contrasting stitching complements the appearance. The inlays are made of matt brushed aluminum. They can optionally be made of carbon or gray, high-gloss oak veneer. The series production scope also includes illuminated door sill trims with aluminum inlays with the S logo at the front. The pedals, the footrest, and the loading sill protector are made of stainless steel.

Upon request, Audi will install sport seats plus with integrated head restraints and pneumatically adjustable side bolsters. Their covers are made of top-quality Valcona leather and feature a rhombus pattern. Arras red is available as a further color option. The S sport seats can be further refined with ventilation and a massage function. A third seat row is available for the Audi SQ7 TFSI (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 12.1–12.0 (19.4–19.6 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km*: 278–276 (447.4–444.2 g/mi)). The contour/ambient lighting package, which is also available as an option, illuminates contours and surfaces in 30 colors that can be adjusted to the driver’s individual taste via the MMI.

New computing power: infotainment and controls

In terms of controls, infotainment, and connectivity, the Audi SQ7 TFSI² and the Audi SQ8 TFSI³ are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The MMI touch response control system integrates two large displays in the center of the instrument panel. They have a 10.1-inch and 8.6-inch diagonal, respectively, and respond with haptic and acoustic feedback to all finger input. The menu structure makes it easy to control with flat hierarchies. The user can configure the interface of the upper display such that they can follow multiple apps at the same time.

The two S models provide a natural language voice control system as a second control level, which understands many formulations from everyday language and accesses the knowledge of the cloud to respond to many requests. The driver can activate it by saying “Hey Audi.”

A head-up display that projects important information onto the windshield is available as an option. The Audi virtual cockpit plus with S-specific views is controlled via the multifunction steering wheel and serves as the standard display instrument. The driver can activate different screens, including an “S-Performance” look. It shifts the focus to the rev counter and displays the power output and torque as percentages.

There is a new, high-performance main unit – the third generation modular infotainment platform (MIB 3) – behind the control and infotainment concept. It works with the communication box, which executes all tasks relating to connectivity and has an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot. The SQ7 TFSI² and SQ8 TFSI³ are equipped with the top infotainment system MMI navigation plus as standard, which exploits the full potential of the MIB 3. The navigation system offers satellite images from Google Earth and takes lane-specific information on the traffic flow and predictions on the development of the traffic situation into account.

Audi connect: top-caliber connectivity

The services in the Audi connect portfolio offer customized information and intelligent assistance. For example, the Car-to-X services help with finding free parking spots on the roadside or allow the driver to surf the green wave by communicating with traffic lights. Online media streaming introduces the offering of major music portals into the car.

If the car is driven by multiple drivers, up to six users can save their individual settings – from frequently selected destinations to their preferred lighting – in separate profiles. The data is uploaded to the customer’s myAudi account in the cloud and stored there. The car adjusts the individual settings when the driver’s door is opened. This convenient personalization feature comes as standard with the Audi SQ7  TFSI² and the Audi SQ8 TFSI³. The Audi connect key, which authorizes users to lock and unlock the car and start the engine via their Android smartphone, is available as an option. The data is exchanged via Near Field Communication (NFC) here.

Attractive hardware modules supplement the infotainment portfolio. The Audi smartphone interface embeds iOS and Android smartphones on the MMI display in their native environments Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Audi phone box couples smartphones with the car’s antenna and charges them inductively provided that the phone is equipped with this function. The Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 3D sound integrates an amplifier that outputs 1,920 watts and actuates up to 23 speakers.

Convenience equipment such as four-zone automatic air conditioning, a power assistance function for closing the doors, and the air quality package with scent and an ioniser complement the offer. The optional HD Matrix LED headlights are a further piece of top-of-the-line technology: Thanks to their intelligent regulation, they illuminate the road with maximum brightness and precision in any situation. In the SQ7 TFSI², they are equipped with the Audi laser light in addition, which almost doubles the range of the high beam lights.

Watching from the outside as the car parks itself: the driving safety systems

The assist systems make driving the Audi SQ7 TFSI² and the SQ8 TFSI³ feel even more confident and comfortable. Safety systems such as Audi pre sense front are included as standard, while some of the other systems are available either individually or as part of the “City” and “Tour” packages.

The adaptive cruise assist takes over steering, accelerating, and decelerating for the driver in many situations. The improved restarting comfort is a new feature: Even after a longer standstill, the adaptive cruise assist gets the car start rolling again if the car in front starts moving. A capacitive steering wheel will follow later. It takes only a slight touch for the car to detect that the driver is taking responsibility for steering and automatic lateral guidance can remain active.

The efficiency assist supports a fuel-efficient driving style by notifying the driver as to when it would make sense to take their foot off the gas. In the city, systems such as the intersection assist, rear cross traffic assist, exit warning, and the surround view cameras add to the portfolio.

The park assist plus is a new feature in the two S models. It maneuvers the car into and out of a parallel or bay parking space at the push of a button, accessing the steering, gas, brake, and tiptronic while doing so. The driver sits in the car and is responsible for the maneuver.

Maneuver assist is a further new feature that the new S models will be equipped with at market launch. At speeds below 10 km/h (6.2 mph), it can avoid maneuvering collisions by means of brake interventions while driving both forwards and backwards. The system detects objects all around the car that are larger than around 20 centimeters (7.9 in), for example parking vehicles or pillars in parking garages. To do this, it uses the ultrasonic sensors and the optional surround view cameras. If the situation calls for it, it brakes the car down to a standstill.

The Audi SQ7 TFSI² and the SQ8 TFSI³ will be introduced to the European markets in the fall. In Germany, they will be available from EUR 93,287.40 and EUR 101,085.72, respectively.

The electrification initiative at Audi is in full swing. Four new models with plug-in hybrid drive – in the Q5, A8, A6 and A7 Sportback model lines – will debut on the European market in the second half of 2019 alone. The new Q7 TFSI e quattro** continues this series. The plug-in hybrid SUV bears the “TFSI e” logo.

Two power units and a quattro drivetrain: drive and transmission

Like every plug-in hybrid model, the Audi Q7 TFSI e quattro** relies on the power of its two hearts. One of the brand’s most modern engines serves as the combustion engine – the 3.0 TFSI. The turbocharged, refined V6 delivers an output of 250 kW (340 PS) and 450 Nm (331.9 lb-ft) of torque. It is certified according to the Euro 6d-TEMP emission standard and is fitted with a gasoline particulate filter as standard. A permanently excited synchronous motor (PSM), which is characterized by a high power density and compact design, serves as the electric motor. The PSM, which delivers a peak output of 94 kW and 350 Nm (258.1 lb-ft) of torque, is integrated in the housing of the eight-speed tiptronic. Together with the coupling, which connects the combustion engine to the drivetrain, it forms what is known as the hybrid module.

The power for the electric motor is supplied by a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery that is positioned under the luggage compartment floor and provides an energy capacity of 17.3 kWh at a voltage of 308 volts. Its 168 prismatic cells are divided into 14 modules that lie on top of each other on two levels. The battery cooling system, which also covers the charger, forms a separate low-temperature circuit. If necessary, it can be connected to the coolant circuit for the air conditioning system or the second low-temperature circuit, which cools the electric motor and power electronics. It converts the direct current from the high-voltage battery (HV) into three-phase current to power the electric motor. During recuperation, the electric motor functions as an alternator and feeds direct current back to the lithium-ion battery.

A quick and smoothly shifting eight-speed tiptronic transfers the forces of the two motors via the quattro drivetrain to all four wheels. It is equipped with an electric oil pump that ensures lubrication in all operating states. The core of the quattro permanent all-wheel drive is a center differential with purely mechanical regulation that distributes the torque between the front and rear axles at a ratio of 40:60 in normal driving operation. When required, it transfers the majority of it to the axle with the better traction.

Two power levels: the Q7 60 TFSI e with 335 kW and the Q7 55 TFSI e with 280 kW

The different designs of the electric motor allow Audi Q7 TFSI e quattro** customers to choose between two power levels that differ in terms of their boost strategy, for example. The Q7 60 TFSI e quattro** achieves a system output of 335 kW (456 PS) and has a system torque of 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 3.0–2.8; combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km*: 22.9–22.2; combined CO₂ emissions in g/km*: 69–64) – that’s 250 Nm (184.4 lb-ft) more than the TFSI generates alone. When both power units work together in boost mode, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 5.7 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 240 km/h (155.3 mph). Up to speeds of 135 km/h (83.9 mph) the electric motor can generate the drive alone. The Q7 55 TFSI e quattro** delivers 280 kW (381 PS) and a system torque of 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 3.0–2.8; combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km*: 22.4–21.9; combined CO₂ emissions in g/km*: 69–64). It sprints to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 5.9 seconds. The electric motor can also generate the car’s drive alone up to a speed of 135 km/h (83.9 mph), and a speed of 240 km/h (155.3 mph) can be reached in cooperation with the combustion engine.

In electric operation, both Q7 variants achieve the same range of up to 43 kilometers in accordance with the WLTP procedure. In many countries and cities, their owners can benefit from tax advantages or even enjoy local traffic privileges such as free parking or driving in the bus lane. In Germany, both plug-in hybrid models benefit from the company car regulation for electric cars: The vehicle is taxed only at a flat rate of 0.5% of the gross list price.

For maximum efficiency: the predictive operating strategy

Whether you are driving short or long distances, in the city, on country roads or the highway: The hybrid management of the Audi Q7 TFSI e quattro** choses the optimum operating strategy for each journey automatically. It is designed such that drivers can cover a large section of their daily journeys on electric power. The “EV” soft key in the lower of the two MMI displays allows them to decide whether and how they want to adjust the interaction of the two power units at any time.

The SUV starts in fully electric “EV” mode. A loudspeaker in the right wheel arch emits a synthetic e-sound to warn pedestrians and cyclists in city traffic. In accordance with the EU guidelines, this acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) can be heard clearly up to 20 km/h (12.4 mph) and gradually fades out as the speed increases. The gasoline engine is activated only when the driver depresses the right-hand pedal, the “active accelerator pedal,” beyond a specific level of resistance.

“Hybrid” mode offers two operating modes: “Auto” and “Hold”. In “Auto” mode, the predictive operating strategy is activated automatically when route guidance is started in the standard MMI navigation plus. The battery charge is spread intelligently along the route, with large electric portions in the city and in stop-and-go traffic. In most cases, the TFSI engine accelerates the vehicle and the electric motor provides support as needed. When accelerating from low rotational speeds, for example, it bridges those tenths of a second that the turbocharger needs to build up pressure, ensuring that the drive has a very spontaneous response. Generally speaking, the predictive operating strategy endeavors to drive as far as possible on electric power and to use the available battery charge completely by the time the destination is reached.

A different strategy is used in “Hold” mode: In this case, the battery’s existing state of charge is kept at the current level with just minimum fluctuations. This is done by recovering brake energy, i.e. recuperation and shifting the load point – in other words, by means of targeted interventions in the management of the 3.0 TFSI. Following a long-distance journey that is driven the conventional way, for example, this allows the subsequent urban drive to be covered on purely electric power, i.e. without emissions and nearly silent.

The vehicle’s operating strategy plans the management of the drives and uses a variety of data, always with the aim of optimizing ride comfort and reducing the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. When it comes to planning long-distance journeys, it takes the length and profile of the route as well as online traffic information and the driver’s driving style into account. In the short-term forecast, which runs in parallel, the standard predictive efficiency assist (PEA) system contributes information from the immediate environment taken from the navigation data, for example speed limits, types of roads and uphill and downhill gradients. The data from the camera and radar that monitor the traffic ahead is also included here.

Even greater efficiency: freewheeling and recuperation

The phases in which the driver takes their foot off the accelerator pedal are also important for the efficiency of the Q7 with plug-in hybrid drive. The PEA takes over the regulation in such situations. In addition to the navigation data, it also takes the distance to the car in front into account and then decides between freewheeling with the TFSI switched off (“gliding”) and recuperation, i.e. the recovery of kinetic energy and its conversion into electric energy. In overrun mode, the Q7 TFSI e quattro** can recover up to 25 kW of power and feed it back to the lithium-ion battery.

When operated as an alternator, the electric motor performs all light and medium brake applications up to 0.3 g, which make up more than 90% of all deceleration processes in everyday customer operation. The hydraulic wheel brakes are activated only in the case of heavier deceleration processes. Thanks to sophisticated fine tuning, the transition, also known as “blending,” between the electric and hydraulic brakes is virtually imperceptible; the brake pedal always provides good feedback and can thus be modulated precisely. During a brake application, the hybrid SUV achieves a recuperation power of up to 80 kW.

When the optional adaptive cruise assist including the radar cruise control is active, the PEA assists the driver not only with decelerating but also with fuel-efficient acceleration. If it is switched off, the driver receives prompts that indicate when it would be sensible to take their foot off the right-hand pedal. The driver feels an impulse in the active accelerator pedal and sees information displayed in the Audi virtual cockpit (standard) and on the head-up display (optional). Detailed symbols, e.g. for intersections, town signs and vehicles driving in front, explain the reason for the reduction in speed.

In the Audi virtual cockpit and on the display of the standard operating system MMI touch response, the driver can view a variety of information on electric driving: power meter, range and the current energy flows of the two drive units. As the central display element, the power meter provides information on the maximum electric performance as well as coasting or braking recuperation, for example.

Up to seven ride characters: the Audi drive select system

In addition to the “EV” soft key, the driver of the Audi Q7 TFSI e quattro** can influence the ride character at a second level: the Audi drive select system. The driver can use the ride profiles “comfort,” “efficiency,” “auto,” “dynamic,” “individual,” “allroad” (with the optional adaptive air suspension) and “offroad” to influence the setup of the drive, air spring suspension and steering.

Depending on the settings, the way in which the drives work together changes when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal. In the “dynamic” profile of Audi drive select and in transmission mode “S,” the electric motor supports the 3.0 TFSI with a pronounced boost function for high levels of dynamism and agility. When the foot is taken off the accelerator pedal, freewheeling is blocked in this setting; the electric motor thus recuperates whenever the foot is taken off the right-hand pedal.

Sporty character: the Q7 60 TFSI e quattro

The Audi Q7 60 TFSI e quattro delivers a system output of 335 kW (456 PS) and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of system torque. Its sporty appeal is reinforced by the standard S line exterior with a full paint finish in the body color and striking design details at the front and rear ends. The look is completed by the black styling package and the Matrix LED headlights. Red brake calipers are installed behind the 20-inch wheels and the adaptive air suspension provides a great range from taut handling to comfortable rolling.

The interior of the Q7 60 TFSI e quattro** features the interior S line/S line sport package. This includes sport seats with S line embossing, black headlining and aluminum inlays. When the doors are opened, LED lights in the door sills project the four rings onto the ground. Most equipment features are also available for the Audi Q7 55 TFSI e quattro** upon request.

Convenient charging on the road

The charging socket of the new plug-in hybrids is located in the rear section of the left sidewall, opposite the tank filler neck. The Audi Q7 TFSI e quattro** can be charged conveniently at public charging terminals while on the road, using the standard mode 3 cable with a type 2 connector. Upon request, Audi’s own charging service, the e-tron Charging Service, provides access to more than 110,000 charging points in Europe. Customers can use a single card to charge at terminals from numerous different providers.

Charge management from the couch: the myAudi app

The myAudi app allows customers to use the services from the Audi connect portfolio on their smartphones. They can also check the battery and range status, start charging processes, program the charge timer and view the charge and consumption statistics. The charging stations are listed in both the app and the vehicle’s navigation system.

Another function of the myAudi app is the pre-entry climate control even before setting off. For this function, the compressor of the air conditioning system and the standard thermoelectric heater booster in the vehicle use power from the high-voltage battery or the socket. Customers can determine how the interior should be heated or cooled while the SUV is parked or the battery is being charged. Depending on the equipment, they can also activate the steering wheel and seat heating as well as the seat ventilation using the pre-entry climate control system, either via the myAudi app or via the timer in the vehicle.

The Audi Q7 60 TFSI e quattro** can now be ordered at a base price of EUR 89,500 in Germany and the Audi Q7 55 TFSI e quattro** is available for a base price of EUR 74,800. The market introduction will begin at the end of 2019.

Migliorata tantissimo, richiama un po la prima serie che mi piaceva tantissimo. 

[Ospite]

Migliorata nettamente. Perde il posteriore con aria da scemo che aveva.

[frekino]

Migliorata tantissimo, appare più slanciata.

Ma il posteriore così alto e soprattutto con quella fascia cromata continua a non piacermi.

 

Ultimamente in Audi hanno la mano pesante sui restyling...

migliora ma dietro era brutto prima rimane brutto ora.. ma perché si ostinano con queste barre luci in mezzo che sono pessime... anche su porsche non le concepisco...mah...

[itr83]

mamma mia, tra restyling, my, versioni sportive e modelli nuovi non riesco più a stare dietro alle novità del gruppo VW.

 

Per fortuna che c'è FCA che mi semplifica la vita

Continua a piacermi molto poco. Overdesign spinto, non é proprio il mio genere.

Belli i nuovi fari posteriori.

[nicogiraldi]

Molto meglio ora.

Dentro in particolare hanno lavorato a fondo rifacendo completamente la plancia, per adottare l'infotertaiment nuovo.

Abbandonano quindi il tablet, che a questo punto e non si capisce il perché rimarrà solo su famiglia B9Facelift e q2.
