Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro available from beginning of March for order
Customers in Europe can order the Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro* from the beginning of March. Deliveries of the new model will commence in summer 2016. In purely electric mode, the plug-in hybrid SUV achieves a range of up to 56 kilometers (34.8 mi) in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), making local journeys emission-free.
The Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro is the first plug-in hybrid in the world to feature a V6 TDI and quattro drive. The SUV sets standards thanks to 275 kW (373 hp) of system power and 700 Nm (516.3 lb‑ft) of system torque. It accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 6.2 seconds and consumes only 1.8 liters (130.7 US mpg) of diesel in accordance with NEDC. Its lithium-ion battery can be charged from the socket and stores 17.3 kWh. With its electric range of up to 56 kilometers (34.8 mi), the SUV covers large areas of everyday mobility.
The starting price in Germany is 80,500 euros. Popular optional equipment for the basic model worth around 7,000 euros is already included on the Q7 e-tron quattro as standard in Germany. LED headlights, MMI navigation plus with MMI all‑in‑touch and the Audi virtual cockpit are among the features included. The high-resolution TFT screen provides pin-sharp displays and graphics, including special views such as the power meter, the energy flow of the plug-in hybrid system, the range and the state of charge of the high-voltage battery.
In Germany, the standard items also include a charging cable for public charging stations and a charging cable that not only features power connections for domestic and industrial sockets, but also contains a graphic display. Thanks to the new two‑phase charging technology, full charging from an industrial socket with an output of 7.2 kW only takes around two and a half hours. That is an outstanding figure for this class.
The standard thermal management system with integrated heat pump has been specially developed for the plug-in hybrids of the Q7 family. Audi is the first manufacturer in the world to market this technology. This represents another benchmark achieved by the brand in terms of electric range, interior comfort and climate control efficiency.
The Audi connect module links the Q7 e-tron quattro to the Internet via the high-speed LTE standard. A new standard feature is the “Audi connect safety& service”. With the Audi connect e-tron services and the Audi MMI connect app, a smartphone can be used to remotely control the charging process and interior climate control, and to access data relating to previous journeys.
Fuel consumption of the models named above:
Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro:
Combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 1.9 – 1.8 (123.8 – 130.7 US mpg)**;
Combined electrical consumption in kWh/100 km: 19.0 – 18.1**;
Combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 50 – 48 (80.5 – 77.2 g/mi)**
**Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions data as well as the efficiency classes are dependent on the choice of wheels and tyres.

I'm glad the hybrid uses a decent V6 and not a whimsy four cylinder which will be overworked at motorway speeds. However the 80K Euro price makes it cost prohibitive even with tax incentives, but the Volvo XC90 is no-less cheaper.

Love it!
Audi has officially taken the wraps off theSQ7 TDI which is set to become the most powerful diesel SUV in the world on the market.
Its heart and soul is a newly developed 4.0 TDI V8 engine equipped with an electric powered compressor (EPC) which makes its debut on a production car. Engineered from the ground up, the new turbodiesel develops 435 horsepower (320 kilowatts) and 663.8 pound-feet (900 newton meters) of torque from an amazing 1,000 rpm. It helps propel the SQ7 TDI to 62 mph (100 kph) in as little as 4.8 seconds before topping out at an electronically-limited 155 mph (250 kph.)
Aside from making the Q7 a lot quicker, the new 4.0 TDI V8 remains economical as Audi says it has the fuel consumption comparable to a six-cylinder engine. The hot diesel SUV will return 31.8 miles per gallon (7.4 liters / 100 km) and will have corresponding CO2 emissions of 312.2 g/mi (194 g/km.)
The EPC was implemented to support the eight-cylinder turbodiesel engine when starting off and during low rpms to eliminate the dreaded turbo lag. As a matter of fact, Audi says that with the newly implemented technology, “turbo lag is history.” The EPC is driven by an electric motor and has a compressor wheel which spins at up to 70,000 rpm which enables the V8 generate the power “with no perceptible lag.”
The EPC has a maximum power of 7 kW provided by a 48-volt electrical subsystem that includes a 48-volt lithium-ion battery located beneath the trunk. The battery has a nominal energy content of 470 watt-hours and a peak output of up to 13 kilowatts while a DC/DC converter connects the 48-volt and 12-volt electrical systems.
Audi’s engineers had to redesign the eight-speed tiptronic transmission for the new model and they promise it will change gears faster and more efficient. The V8 TDI’s output will be channeled to a quattro permanent all-wheel drive system working together with a self-locking central differential. The SQ7 TDI will ride on 20-inch alloy wheels shod in 285/45 tires, but at an additional cost buyers will be able to go for up to 22-inch rims.
The model will be optionally available with a driving dynamics package consisting of a sport differential, electromechanical active roll stabilization, and all-wheel steering. LED headlights will be standard, but Audi will also sell the SQ7 TDI with matrix LED headlights providing superior illumination.
Aside from being the most powerful SUV in the world, the new SQ7 TDI is also the lightest model in its segment and has a drag coefficient of 0.34. Customers will be able to order the model with either a five- or seven-seat layout and just about the same array of goodies as a regular Q7.
Audi mentions it will open the order books for European customers this spring and the model will carry a starting price in Germany of €89,900.

I've just collected a Q7 3.0 TDI quattro (272 PS), and will be driving it for the next three days. Tonight from Southern Holland to Strasbourg in France, and then tomorrow to Geneva for the motor show. Tomorrow evening back from Geneva to Holland, with an overnight stop in Mainz in Germany. Should be doing about 1,500km in total.
Already I'm very impressed by the way it wafts everywhere and by how quiet it is. Had a play with the virtual cockpit and it's fairly easy to get used to.

Nice, can you also tell us how well the multi matrix LED headlight work at night as well?

The 4.0 twin turbo V8 in the North American edition will be a rocket ship. Doesn't this deserve its own thread?

I strongly dislike SUV/SAV/SAC etc., but for some reason I like that SQ7 V8 very, very much indeed. Such an honest non-down-sized V8 diesel tyranno saurus rex. Never thought I'd say this, but I could see this one parking in my garage in near future.

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles
headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the
Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th
century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded
by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW
and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932.
The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto
Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
