Should braking be necessary, the system will automatically return to its preset speed when able. In certain conditions, the system will even bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
Performance
Servotronic® Steering
Servotronic® is speed-dependent power steering in which the amount of power assist provided is dictated by road speed, providing even more comfort and convenience for the driver. The amount of power assist is greatest at low speeds, making it easier to maneuver the car. At higher speeds, an electronic sensing system gradually reduces the level of power assist, creating a tighter, more dynamic steering feel.
3.0 TFSI® Engines
The all-aluminum Audi 3.0 liter TFSI® V6 engine benefits from the combination of FSI direct injection and supercharging to create 272hp. The impressive 295 lb-ft. torqueTorqueTorque is what causes rotational speed to change. Just as greater net forces cause greater linear accelerations, greater torques cause greater rotational or angular accelerations.Torque is generated over a wide range, from 2250 to 4750 RPM, making full power usable at any speed. The four-vane, Roots-style supercharger makes the 3.0 liter V6 exceptional. The Q7 also comes with the option of the 3.0 liter TFSI S line® engine, which delivers 333hp and an impressive 325 lb-ft of torque. To further enhance handling and ride comfort, significant attention to detail has been paid to suppressing vibrations at the attachment points along the steering column. The result is a nearly 100 percent reduction in steering wheel vibration, offering the driver smoothness at virtually any speed.
Quattro® All-wheel Drive
Permanent all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they certainly don’t perform that way either. quattro is essentially a mechanical system devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking center differential that shifts torque instantaneously to where it’s needed. This means quattro is adjusting power between front and rear axles more than a hundred times a second, ensuring torque is delivered to the wheels where traction exists.
In normal driving situations, quattro distributes the power between each axle by sending 40 percent to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving dynamics while maintaining optimum control. Constantly assessing grip, quattro helps ensure the best possible combination of traction and handling regardless of the road conditions.
Audi adaptive air Suspension
Audi adaptive air suspension is an electronically controlled air suspension system with a continuously adaptive damping system. The system offers a choice of six different settings: Lift, Offroad, Comfort, Auto, Dynamic and Cargo – which lowers the rear of the vehicle for easier access. The system varies the air-spring damping characteristics and rebound response according to the mode selected and vehicle speed. Vehicle ride-height is also adjusted according the mode selected. In Comfort mode a higher ride-height results in greater ground clearance and a more pliant ride, while a lower ride-height in Dynamic mode creates a lower center of gravity and additional directional stability.
Eight-speed Tiptronic Transmission
The Q7 comes equipped with the available eight-speed Tiptronic transmission. Not only does the transmission add to the sporty experience with purposeful, smooth shifts, but it also improves fuel economy, responsiveness and overall driving comfort.
Towing Capacity
The Q7 towing package offers an outstanding 6,600 lbs. towing capacity as well as increased cooling capacity, and trailer hitch.
Safety
Five-star Crash Test Rating
Audi has always held firm the belief that prevention is the best safetyfeature of all. And the Audi Q7 offers an abundance of features designed to help keep you out of harm’s way. However, if a collision becomes inevitable, the Q7 has proven itself with a Five-star Crash Test Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA].

Six Standard Airbags
The six standard, second-generation airbags provide an additional measure of safety. They include front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger and are designed to help protect the head. Seat-mounted, side-impact airbags for the front seat occupants are designed to help protect the thorax in a collision. And the side-curtain airbags offer front and rear occupants head protection in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Reacting to rear collision forces, the head restraintss help cradle the occupant’s head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
Audi parking system plus with Rearview Camera
The Q7 offers the advanced technology of the Audi parking system. The system uses front and rear ultrasonic parking sensors to measure the distance to the nearest object, while intermittent audible tones indicate the distance to the driver.
ESC
Audi has always held firm the belief that prevention is the best safety feature of all. And the Audi Q7 offers an abundance of features designed to help keep you out of harm’s way. For instance, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps make the vehicle easier to control in handling situations close to the limit. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the vehicle traveling in its intended direction by utilizing ABS, the traction control of ASR and the electronic brake force distribution of EBD. ESC senses when the roof rail crossbars are in use and instantly alerts ESC to compensate for the vehicle’s higher center of gravity. The ESC has a special offroad mode that can be switched on and off by pressing the “ESC off” switch. This adapts the ESC, ASR and ABS to offroad driving conditions such as mud, gravel, deep snow and more.
Advanced Braking System
Audi has implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally, the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full braking and apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking distance is significantly reduced.
High-strength Steel Body with Energy-absorbing Crumple Zones
When prevention isn’t enough, the combination of crumple zones and high-strength steel helps deliver a tremendous level of protection for the driver and passengers. Crumple zones, at the front and rear of the vehicle, are designed to help dissipate the energy and force of a collision by deforming upon impact. The high-strength steel used in and around the occupant cell is designed to protect the integrity of the passenger compartment and those within it.
Audi adaptive cruise control
This available system enhances conventional cruise control by monitoring the distance to the vehicle ahead via radar sensors. The system automatically reduces or resumes speed to maintain the safe distance selected by the driver. Should braking be necessary, the system will automatically return to its preset speed when able. In certain conditions, the system will even bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
Audi side assist
Active at speeds over 19 MPH, available Audi side assist monitors blind spots and fast-approaching vehicles at a range of 150 ft. When a vehicle is present within the monitored area, the system warns you via LED lights in the exterior mirrors.
Efficiency
Clean Diesel Technology
For more than 20 years, TDI® has been the leader in diesel technology. It’s powerful and efficient, and is extremely quiet. In fact, as a testament to its benefits, vehicles powered by diesel account for 50 percent of all vehicle sales in Western Europe.
Its efficiency was proven in 2008 during the Audi Mileage Marathon. The Audi Q7 TDI averaged an extraordinary 28 MPG on a cross-country trip from New York to Los Angeles. By using the most advanced technology of Turbo Diesel Injection, or TDI, diesel is quickly gaining popularity in the United States for several good reasons.
3.0 V6 Offers Power and Efficiency
With the potent combination of direct injection and turbocharging, the 3.0 liter TDI® clean diesel engine delivers an impressive 406 lb-ft. of torqueTorqueTorque is what causes rotational speed to change. Just as greater net forces cause greater linear accelerations, greater torques cause greater rotational or angular accelerations.Torque and produces 225hp. That is the power of a comparable V8 gasoline engine. Additionally, the TDI® provides a range of more than 600 miles from a full tank that holds 26.4 gallons of fuel.
Ultra-low Emissions System
Long gone are the days of dirty, smoking diesel engines. Audi TDI clean diesel is responsible for the cleanest diesel engines in the world, with 20 percent fewer CO2 emissions than comparable gasoline engines, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to gasoline power. One reason TDI clean diesel is so clean is because of the AdBlue technology found in the TDI clean diesel exhausting system. AdBlue uses a urea-based solution that scrubs the exhaust gases and removes 90 percent of the nitrogen oxides and 20 percent of carbon emissions, making it compliant with ULEV II BIN 5. The result is a significant reduction in emissions that contribute to global warming.
Variable Vane Turbine Technology
TDI clean diesel gains its incredible power from a number of innovative technologies. The turbo itself offers Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG), which allows more of the power generated by the turbo to be used at lower engine speeds. That means quicker acceleration off-the-line.
