The Audi Q7 gets added Vorsprung

Vorsprung durch Technik, roughly translated means advancement through technology. This has been the tag-line of Audi for some time, but to Audi it is not just a tag-line, it is an entire way of thinking. The trick to Vorsprung is staying one step ahead of the competition and to keep developing even when something is the best in its class.

Today, in true Audi style, several enhancements have been made to the Audi Q7 line-up. Fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 19% and CO2 emissions have been reduced by up to 55 g/km. Most of the changes involve switching to smaller, supercharged engines to provide the same power, but much greener and some improvements are made possible by the introduction of a new 8 speed automatic gear-box.

The most popular 3.0TDI engine has also been changed this week. This new engine is 20kg lighter and is fitted with technology including start-stop to further improve on the cars green credentials. This car now boasts a combined fuel consumption of 38.2mpg and has CO2 emissions of only 195g/km, placing it in the same tax band as much smaller cars including the 1.8-litre Toyota Avensis.

So, how does this compare with our competitors? The chart below shows a comparison between the Audi Q7 and our rivals the Mercedes ML and the BMW X5.
