Audi announced the launch of the Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI quattro - the latest engine variant of the luxury SUV, in India. Deliveries of the new Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI are slated to begin in January 2011. "The Audi Q7 - the high performance luxury SUV has been one of the main contributors to our success in the Indian market. We are confident that it will further help us consolidate our leadership position in the luxury SUV space", said Mr. Michael Perschke, Head – Audi India.
The 3.0 TFSI quattro engine delivers 333 bhp and boasts of a maximum torque of 440 Nm @5,300 rpm. The V6 engine makes the Audi Q7 quick as it does a 0-100kph in just 6.9 seconds. With a top speed of 245 km/h the Q7 makes for an enthralling driving experience.
The Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI employs TFSI technology for the first time and combines supercharging of the engine with petrol direct injection. The compressor provides for top-class performance characteristics on the new 3.0 TFSI quattro engine with high torque at low engine speeds, resulting in an extremely spontaneous response and exceptional power development across the entire speed range.
The all new 8-speed automatic transmission considerably reduces fuel consumption and emissions on the Audi Q7 compared to its predecessors. It minimizes jumps in engine speed between gears, and the engine always runs near its ideal operating point. The Audi Q7 range is also powered by highly efficient diesel engines and is available in 4.2 TDI and 3.0 TDI engines. The new Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI will be available at an attractive price of INR 59,29,000/- + onwards (ex-showroom Delhi)
