Audi
Q7 4.2 SE
The Audi Q7 4.2 SE uses a 345 horsepower, 4163 cc, V8 mated to a 6-speed
Tiptronic transmission. The SE specification is standard for the 4.2
V8. It includes an exclusive 18-inch alloy wheel design with wider
255/55 R18 tyres, bumpers finished in a contrasting colour, additional
chrome exterior trim, full leather upholstery, heated front seats
with full electric adjustment and wood fascia inlays. Up to seven
occupants can be accommodated in the three rows of seats. The seats
in the second row are individually adjustable for fore/aft movement,
and offer the most leg- room 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 Audi Q7 is equipped as standard with latest generation quattro
permanent four-wheel drive. Its Torsen centre differential, which
conveys power to all four wheels on-road and off, is shared with the
Audi RS 4 quattro, and features a standard torque split of 40 : 60
(front / rear) that helps to optimise axle load distribution for even
greater agility and steering precision.
The variable ground clearance of between 180mm and 240mm offered by
the five-mode air suspension system helps the Audi Q7 take the rough
as much in its stride as the smooth. The off-road setting, with 205mm
of clearance and adapted damper control, is the perfect setting for
cross-country driving.
Like the acclaimed Audi A6 and A8 models, the Audi Q7 is equipped
as standard with the innovative Multi Media Interface (MMI) operating
concept that controls many major in-car functions. In the Q7 the system
will be available with a variety of new optional extras, including
Audi side assist with radar technology for lane-changing manoeuvres
and the advanced parking system with optical/acoustic guidance and
rear-view camera.
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) also includes numerous new
functions such as hill descent assist, a special off-road mode that
optimises brake performance and traction on loose surfaces and a trailer
stabilisation system that reduces the risk of fishtailing by means
of targeted brake intervention.
