The first units of the new Audi SQ7 TDI, the world's most powerful diesel Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), will appear in European markets from summer 2016. With 435bhp of power and 900Nm of torque at its disposal, the SUV accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. 

The 4.0-litre engine in the Audi SQ7 TDI has been redeveloped from the ground up. It combines best in class performance with low consumption and maximum dynamics. An electric powered compressor (EPC) makes its first ever appearance in a production vehicle. This device supports the work of the two turbochargers, especially at lower revs, assuring agile starting performance. The result is dynamism without any hint of turbo lag.

The SQ7 RDI also features the high-performance system of electromechanical active roll stabilisation. The electromechanical active roll stabilisation is a new technological solution in this market, making controlled, sporty handling possible. The car rolls less on bends, lateral inclination is markedly reduced and the tendency to understeer is kept even better in check. This enables higher lateral acceleration and thus faster cornering.

The new Audi SQ7 TDI includes popular equipment options from the Audi Q7 as standard. These include LED head lights, adaptive air suspension with S-specific settings, a three-spoke sport steering wheel with multifunction buttons and shift paddles, a larger 85-litre tank, an anti-theft alarm, electrically adjustable, heated sport seats in Alcantara and leather, 20-inch wheels, sporty-contoured bumpers and door trim strips, and brushed aluminum inlays. As an option, the new SQ7 TDI can be equipped with the advanced dynamic driving package, which comprises three technology modules - quattro with sport differential, all-wheel steering and the new electromechanical active roll stabilisation.
