Audi Quattro
WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING ONE CAR DOES IT ALL…
Those in the lead don’t need compromises, they want the solution. Are you looking for a vehicle which is as comfortable to drive to work as to drive in the mountains…? For 25 years we’ve made Quattro for our cars, now we’ve made the car for Quattro – the new Audi Q7. Refining the raw power of the Quattro drive train, this 7 seater is a true performance SUV, at home on any road. Even when there isn’t one.
It isn't just another SUV launch. In Quattro’s 25th anniversary year, Audi sets new standards-with the Audi Q7. A third generation sports utility vehicle, the Audi Q7 is the brand's first true SUV and has been engineered for the street. It is powered by a 350-horsepower 4.2-liter V-8, teamed with a six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic mode and a new-generation Quattro AWD system.So is it a crossover or a true SUV? It's both, since Audi wants to tackle the likes of the Mercedes-Benz R-Class, the Range Rover Sport, and the BMW X5 - not to mention the vehicles it's distantly related to, the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.It represents a new generation SUV that is sporty and rugged, dynamic both on the road and off and yet lacks nothing in comfort or luxury. It takes Audi a step further toward becoming a complete global brand. It comes heavily equipped with luxury features. Leather seats are standard, along with automatic climate control, a power tailgate, the MMI system, 18-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, and keyless entry. Continuing the successful idea of Quattro all-wheel drive and taking it into a promising future. Combining the dynamics of a sedan with the qualities of an offroader, the Audi Q7 made its world debut in 2005 at Frankfurt. Audi has a long and colorful history for producing vehicles of the high quality and the Audi Q7 is no exception as at all.
The 2007 Audi Q7 looks exotic and mean enough at the same time, exactly what people who are willing to pony up what could be an astronomical amount want. The cabin design mixes A6 and A8 elements with Audi's usual fine materials and faultless craftsmanship. The off-road performance of the Audi Q7 is backed up by the Quattro drive with self-locking centre differential, optional adaptive air suspension, enhanced ESP and typical SUV high clearance. Passengers will rarely be bothered by engine, wind or road noise, making the big Audi an extremely relaxing way to travel. It rides comfortably, soaking up the worst road scars, yet it corners with poise. Audi's Quattro four-wheel-drive system provides strong grip, whatever the conditions. The standard four-wheel drive will help keep the Q7 on the road, backed up by electronic stability and differential lock systems. Twin front and side airbags are standard, while curtain side airbags provide head protection for all three rows. An alarm is fitted to every model.
