The 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. Mild hybrid technology, the digital operating concept, and the optional HD matrix LED headlights including laser light are just some of its highlights. The new Audi Q7 and the SQ7 are equipped with a powerful V8 diesel engine and will be introduced to the European market in mid-September. The base price for the Audi Q7 in Germany will be EUR 66,900.The Audi Q7 demonstrates the hallmark SUV elements in 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 the width of the full-size model with their contour and light signature. On the restyled rear, a striking aluminum 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 particularly 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.
Sportiness meets efficiency - the new Audi S6 and S7 models make their entrance with a torquey V6 TDI engine, offering customers in Europe the ideal performance models for the long haul. For the first time, Audi has combined an electric powered compressor with a 48-volt primary electrical system. The S sport suspension with damping control, dynamic all-wheel steering and the ceramic brake system tick all the boxes for dynamic cornering and deceleration. The striking design with the sophisticated looks of an S model lends these sporty full-size models particular presence.The huge torque peaking at 700 newton-meters (516.3 lb-ft) constantly available on demand to the driver across an engine speed range of 2,500 to 3,100 rpm is the ideal basis for performance-minded customers in Europe. The S TDI models offer high driving dynamics and efficiency - an especially attractive combination for long-distance driving. With the S6 and S7 TDI models Audi systematically takes the successful drive concept of the SQ7 TDI to the next level. For the first time, Audi's engineers have paired an electric powered compressor with a 48-volt primary electrical system.This takes the three-liter V6 TDI's total power output to 257 kW (349 hp). Power transmission is handled by the eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission, which always operates in tandem with quattro permanent all-wheel drive.
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 SQ7 and the Audi SQ8. 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)).

With its high-performance character, the naturally aspirating 5.2 FSI engine lets the driver really experience the motorsport genes of the new Audi R8. It responds almost instantaneously and easily revs up to 8,700 rpm; at the engine speed limiter, the pistons cover a distance of 26.9 meters (88.3 ft) per second. Under load, the V10 develops a very unique sound – a throaty hissing and roaring sound.The performance and torque of the Audi R8 were further improved in the course of the revision. The R8 V10 quattro offers 419 kW (570 metric horsepower) at 8,000 rpm, which constitutes an increase of 22 kW (30 metric horsepower). The maximum torque of 560 Nm (413.0 lb-ft) is available at 6,200 rpm. For the R8 V10 performance quattro, the values at the same rotational speeds are 456 kW (620 metric horsepower) and 580 Nm (427.8 lb-ft).
Thanks to its S-specific details, the special status of the Audi SQ7 TFSI and the Audi SQ8 TFSI 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.The elegant sporty look is continued in the spacious interior of the Audi SQ7 TFSI and the SQ8 TFSI. 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.
Beautiful station wagons are called Avant – and are now also electrically driven and have zero local emissions. Following the A6 Sedan, the Audi full-size station wagon is now entering the market as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The intelligent drive management with a predictive operating strategy enables the new Audi A6 Avant 55 TFSI e quattro** to achieve a high electric range, low fuel consumption and dynamic performance. The Audi A6 Avant PHEV has a comprehensive range of standard equipment on board, including the S line exterior package, Audi virtual cockpit, Matrix LED headlights as well as sport suspension and sport seats.
Paying homage to the Audi Sport quattro coupe of the 1980s, the design language of the SQ8 is highlighted by pronounced wheel arches and gently inclined C-pillars. The light strip that comprises the rear LED tail light signature is also reminiscent of cues from the original sports coupe.The SQ8 exemplifies today’s Audi SUV design language with a muscular octagonal Singleframe grille, standard LED headlights and frameless doors.The SQ8 features a unique rear diffuser with quad exhaust outlets.In the U.S., Alu-optic design elements are offered for the first time around the grille as well as the mirror caps, signifying an S model. Standard equipment wheels are 21-inch, 10-V-spoke S-design with all-season tires.The available Black-optic Package includes 22-inch Audi Sport 5-V-spoke anthracite wheels with all-season tires, black exterior accents that complement the mirror caps, roof rails and Singleframe grille.The SQ8 comes standard LED headlights with LED taillights and dynamic turn signals or can be equipped with available HD Matrix-design LED headlights with full LED taillights. When equipped with the available HD-Matrix design headlights, fast-moving light animations play in the headlights and taillights when the vehicle is locked and unlocked.
The A4 represents the core of the brand - after four years in the making, Audi has made the successful midsize model even tauter and sportier. Its exterior is integrated into the brand's new design language; the large MMI touch display offers the kind of operating experience customers will be familiar with from their smartphone. Many engine options now come with mild-hybrid systems (MHEV) - efficiency and comfort benefit from this broad-based electrification. This also applies to the Audi S4 TDI, with a V6 TDI under the hood for the first time, a 48-volt main electrical system and an electric powered compressor (EPC), which lends its beefy acceleration even more spontaneity. This combination of power, torque and efficiency makes it unique in the segment.The midsize model looks even more dynamic and sophisticated thanks to the sportier design highlights. The Singleframe grille is now broader and flatter; horizontal lines emphasize the width at the front and rear. The side view is defined by the distinctive muscles above the fenders and the lower set shoulder line in between. They form strong contours above the wheels and make the quattro genes outwardly visible.LED headlights now come standard in the Audi A4; the top-of-the-line headlights feature the Matrix LED technology with fully automatic high beam. The equipment line concept is equally new: basic, advanced and S line are now available for the exterior, not to mention the independent look of the S models and the A4 allroad quattro. Customers can choose from 12 paint colors, including a new terra gray option.
