Audi is revamping its luxury SUV lineup in Europe with the introduction of the new Audi Q7 TFSI e quattro and Q8 TFSI e quattro. These plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) SUVs offer increased efficiency, a more spacious interior, and a comprehensive technology upgrade. Let's delve deeper into what these compelling SUVs bring to the table.
Powertrains Packing a Punch
Both the Q7 TFSI e quattro and Q8 TFSI e quattro come equipped with a potent 3.0-liter TFSI V6 gasoline engine mated to a powerful electric motor. This formidable combination delivers two distinct power outputs:
- The 55 TFSI e quattro produces a combined output of 389 horsepower (290 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque.
- The 60 TFSI e quattro boasts an even more impressive 483 horsepower (360 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque.
These figures translate to thrilling acceleration, with both variants launching from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in a brisk 5.0 seconds. An electronically limited top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph) ensures a truly exhilarating driving experience on unrestricted stretches of road.
Electric Efficiency at the Forefront
The cornerstone of the Q7 TFSI e quattro and Q8 TFSI e quattro's appeal is their exceptional electric driving range. Thanks to a larger 25.9-kWh battery pack, both SUVs can achieve an all-electric range of up to 90 kilometers (56 miles) in urban driving conditions. This translates to significant savings on fuel costs and reduced environmental impact for everyday commutes.
Effortless Charging Solutions
Audi offers a convenient charging solution to keep your Q7 TFSI e quattro or Q8 TFSI e quattro topped up. The battery can be replenished at up to 7.4 kW, reaching 100% charge in approximately three hours and 45 minutes using a powerful charger. Additionally, Audi provides access to a vast network of over 630,000 charging points across 29 European countries, including dedicated Audi charging hubs in major cities. This ensures you'll never be far from a convenient charging station during your travels.
A Haven of Sophistication and Technology
The Audi Q7 TFSI e quattro and Q8 TFSI e quattro elevate the in-cabin experience to new heights. Spacious interiors offer ample legroom and headroom for passengers of all sizes, while high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship create an atmosphere of refinement.
