The crossover is the new minivan, and in an age of $4-per-gallon gasoline, the fuel-efficient crossover is all the rage. While minivan-mommies may disagree for the sake of image, ask yourself: how is your crossover different than your parent’s minivan? The minivan sprang out of the station wagon revolt and the CUV is the result of minivan denial. As usual, the formula is the same: start with a sedan, add a taller box, toss in some optional AWD to make buyers think they are getting something rugged and you get instant sales success (unless you’re a Chrysler, but that’s a different review). This CUV formula wrought on an A4 creates the Audi Q5, one of Audi’s hottest selling models in the US market. Sales of the cute-ute soared over 70% to just over 23,000 in 2010 and show no signs of cooling with January sales up 50% over 2010. To keep the momentum (and CAFE numbers) going in the right direction, Audi has mated the corporate engine to the latest 8-speed auto from ZF creating the 2011 Q5 Quattro. Editor’s note: apologies for the press shots, which were made necessary by a technical the Q5 plays the same farm girl card as the majority of the Audi lineup. The wholesome sheet metal is attractive, but completely devoid of the dramatic styling cues that grace the new X3, GLK, SRX and even the XC60. Some might even call the Q5 slightly boring. The sterile exterior was accentuated by the rental-car white paint our tester wore. Sales of the old X3 paled in comparison to the Q5, but by early indications, the X3 has the Q5’s sales crown in its sights this year. Will the wholesome farm girl beat the beauty queen with its newly found frugal practicality? Since it will take a while for the market to let us know, give us your take now in the comment section below. In order to maintain brisk sales, the base Q5 has received an engine down-size for 2011. With the likes of the Ford Explorer sporting a turbocharged engine option, it was only a matter of time before one of VW/Audi’s turbo engines was found under the Q5’s hood. Audi followers know that the TT, A3, A4 and A5 are now available exclusively with the turbocharged four-pot in the USA and if the numbers tell the full story, buyers may not miss the V6 when the option is finally removed at some point in the future. Forced induction lovers rejoice! The turbo charged fuel sipper is the base engine, not an expensive option (unlike the new the new Explorer).While the 211HP Audi TFSI engine is nothing new, the lighter duty version of the 8-speed ZF cog-swapper found under the hoods of certain Rolls Royce and BMW models is. According to ze Germans, the 2 extra cogs alone are worth an 11% improvement in fuel economy over the previous 6-speed. The result of the displacement right-sizing and extra gears means the Q5 in guise delivers 20MPG city, 27 highway and 22 combined. On paper this is only a 15% increase, in practice during our 800-mile week-long test of the A5, we averaged an impressive in mixed driving; a practical real-world 25% increase in mileage over a Q5 I drove a year ago. would be good in a FWD CUV, but even better when you note that all US bound models are equipped with Quattro. By offering AWD standard on all Q5s in the USA, Audi succeeds in distancing themselves from the likes of the two-wheel-drive XC60 or GLK chionophobic base models. For MPG comparison, the new BMW X3 xDrive28i delivers 19/25 MPG, the Volvo XC60 AWD gives buyers 18/24, the Acura RDX spools up 17/22 and the Mercedes GLK rounds out the bottom gulping a lowly 16/22 MPG. No wonder Audi expects 60% of Q5 buyers to stick with the base the first stab of the accelerator it seems that there is a replacement for displacement after all: while the V6 in the Q5 may deliver 59 more horsepower, it’s actually 15lb-ft down on its two-liter cousin. Torque comes on early, lag is minimal and the twist doesn’t quit until high in the RPM band. It is therefore no surprise that our tester scooted to 60MPH in (Audi claims officially), down only .2 seconds to the equipped Q5 we have tested in the past. It’s worth pointing out that the beats acceleration expectations while the merely meets them. The numbers are close enough to make little difference to most shoppers. The only impediment to sporting progress in the seems to be the 8-speed transmission. The sheer number of gears seems to leave the transmission software confused about which gear is right for you. The result: acceleration can be a varied experience depending on your speed. Still, overall performance is quite good having a far more linear feel than the I6 in the XC60 or even the turbo four in the RDX. Buyers paying extra for the Q5 may be disappointed to find that the is still mated to ye olde ZF 6-speed. Towing capacity is the same between engines at a lofty (for a small CUV) 4,400lbs when properly on the road, the suspension tuning is similar to the stiff for a CUV. Wide tires, a wide track, beefy brakes, fairly svelte curb weight (the is 209lbs lighter than the and oddly well balanced weight distribution of (TTAC estimate) and quick steering ( to lock) combine to give the Q5 athletic prowess on the track worthy of a BMW badge. If you are used to your Audi plowing like a nose-heavy freighter, the Q5 will surprise you. A quick-shifting DSG gearbox or at the least some shift paddles (available on the might even turn the into a pleasing corner carver. Compared to the likes of the XC60, RDX and GLK, the Q5 is certainly the road feel champ but it can’t quite match the new X3 for road manners. First released as a 2009 model, our 2011 tester brought few changes to its largely monochromatic interior. Audi’s limited and tasteful use of wood trim helped break up the large expanses of black in our tester but let you know the price tag is lower than the wood-laden Q7. Unlike some of the competition (and some Audi models) buyers can opt for lighter leather and dashboard shades resulting in a feel that is far more airy than the black-on-black-on-black theme of our latest MMI system is the largest change inside the Q5. Along with a large high-resolution LCD in a dedicated dash binnacle, a revised MMI controller knob that now includes a mini-joystick and revised software. The high-resolution 3-D navigation screens are crisp and comparable to BMW’s latest iDrive. BMW’s wise-aspect ratio screen gets the nod for the wow factor, but Audi delivers a close second in both form and function. Bluetooth and iPod integration are both about average in the class with logical controls and fairly good media device browsing ability on the main screen or the small LCD between the speedo and tach via the steering wheel controls. My only major gripe with the MMI system continues to be the lack of voice commands for media device voice control ala Ford Sync, in truth this is a complaint against everyone but Ford. A less critical niggle is that Audi has done nothing to address the ergonomic flaw in the button and knob layout. While you can change the volume on the steering wheel (and voice command is available for some functions) I found myself spending a great deal of time looking down at the array of buttons surrounding the MMI dial or hunting for the volume knob. In a CUV with a moderately high beltline, this poses a distraction issue. Some upgrades, including steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a backup camera, and intelligent cruise control are available only on the Prestige (the most expensive version of the Q5) so they were not available to test on our loaner. Great, but how much does it cost? Our Q5 came in Premium Plus trim with a base MSRP of $39,400, the $3,000 navigation and parking sensor package and the $850 Bang & Olufson sound system. Only a $350 rear side-airbag option, 19”” wheels and some sparkly paint remained un-selected on our nearly loaded $44,600 tester. While the navigation system wears a big price tag, even for the luxury market, the functionality of the MMI is worth it. To achieve the lower ticket the is “de-contented” to 18-inch wheels, a manual lift gate, and washerless headlamps. In our book these features (or lack thereof) are worth the $7,300 discount and greater fuel economy. A quick drive by my local Audi dealers revealed that all but two examples on the floor had had the MMI, so if you want a stripper, be prepared to order. In comparison, a similarly equipped Volvo XC60 (albeit larger and more powerful) is the value leader coming in $2000 less with more interior room. A comparably equipped Mercedes GLK? $46,400. If BMW is more your style, an X3 xDrive28i will set you back an eye bulging $47,825 comparably equipped. Admittedly the Q5’s sporty dimensions (read: small) limit cargo room compared to the GLK and XC60, both which can easily swallow a 10-foot PVC pipe or 6-foot ladder from the home improvement shop of your choice. Practicality lovers note that the XC60’s fold-down front seat actually allows the Swede to sword-swallow a 10-foot ladder if you are careful. As pictures can attest, a two-tank water softener will fit in the Q5 no problem. If a sporty ride with cargo hauling capacity is what you seek, look no further than an Audi A4 Avant. If you really must CUV like the Jones’ then the Q5 is certainly a well-balanced provided the vehicle, insurance and one tank of gas for the statistics as tested:0-30: seconds0-60: seconds

Trending topics in reviewsMost helpful consumer reviews2 out of 5 starsBuyer beware UpdateMatt,08/18/ TFSI Prestige quattro 4dr SUV AWD ( 6cyl S/C 8A)It started with a crack in the windshield that wasn't caused by road debris. Not covered by Audi but I had glass insurance on my auto policy. Next came the GPS system getting lost. It took 12 days to fix due to parts. Then came warning lights coming on telling of steering malfunction and distance errors. That was caused by a loose wire to a sensor another few days in the shop. The latestÂ â€¦ is a drivetrain warning that is real. The whole car started vibrating. It goes back on Monday. This is all in the space of less than 9 months. Really poor quality!!! It's been 6 months and there haven't been any additional problems so I'm upping my review to 3 stars. It is a nice vehicle but the original quality was very poor. One other note. If you are interested in a remote starter, forget Audi. Second update In the past year I've had 3 instances of losing power and a warning coming up that stated drive train malfunction. If I turned the car off and restarted it went away. Checking on the internet, I'm not alone regarding this problem and apparently Audi can't find it because it's gone when they look for it. I will be dumping this vehicle before my warranty expires. I'm done with Audi. Third update - water pump went after 34,000 miles. I was told that if it wasn't still under warranty, it would have cost me about $1, out of 5 starsPremium Ride; Arrive in style and comfort. John,01/01/ TFSI Prestige quattro 4dr SUV AWD ( 6cyl S/C 8A)Audi Q7 is by far one of the best driving SUVs I have owned. Now, before I go further; I have to be clear about this: This is a premium ride. It is meant for people who do not mind paying a premium for maintenance in terms of gas and normal maintenance. I have seen several one star reviews on here and other sites because the tires were $350 a piece. One has to be realistic; the OEMÂ â€¦ tires are made in Germany by Goodyear and commands a premium price since they are runflats and due to the unique size which is not commonly produced. Now to the car: The car drives and handles perfectly for its size. For most people, the (Turbo) is more than adequate but the (supercharged) provides excellent acceleration when the car is loaded with 6 people and their stuff. I own the and the supercharger noise is very muted and not annoying. The ride comfort is excellent and the vehicle corners without too much lean. The space in 3rd row is more than adequate for kids but adults may find it a bit tight during long trips. The 2nd row does fold, slide, or flip up (unlike The Benz GLS450 which does not slide). The virtual cockpit and the controls require a steep learning curve. The models with Driver Assist packages is an excellent option if you are living in congested areas or in areas with stop-and-go traffic. Yes, the vehicle requires premium gas due to the forced-induction motor, but the gas mileage is excellent (approx 30 in highway @70-75 mph, and approx 18 to 20 in city, avg is approx 18 to 19 for the year in mixed driving). The build quality and build materials are exceptional. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase of this vehicle. Update: No complaints! Regular oil changes; had a recall done by Audi. Overall impressive vehicle. I was saddened to see the supercharged engine go away with the new model!4 out of 5 starsGreat all around vehicleAlan564,07/23/ TFSI Prestige quattro 4dr SUV AWD ( 6cyl S/C 8A)I got this car for its high towing capacity for a car this size, and it can fit in a standard garage. I terms of power, it has plenty, and the liter has to turbo lag, because it has a supercharger. In terms of negatives are the run-flat tires which give a rough ride, and with no spare tire, I hope they work. Tire technology is evolving so hopefully new self-repairing tires willÂ â€¦ replace them soon. All the driver assistance features work pretty well, but they can be complex to learn. On other Audi's and on the 2020 Q7 they have gone to a touchscreen display, but in AZ where its bright and hot, the touchscreens are not good. I'm glad I got this version before the change. Only had the car a few weeks, but so far, so good. Just be warned, this car, and maybe many today are complex and take some time to learn. Many of the "features" can be more annoying than helpful, until you learn how to turn them off. The third row seats are really emergency only but good to have. I have the 23 speaker audio system, and in my opinion, sound could be better. Also, many warning messages are useless. They tell you to see the users guide. Yeah right. Good luck finding anything in it. Overall, a solid car, not cheap, but worth the cost. Update: While the car is performing good, there are some annoyances that have come up. One is the navigation system that doesn't seem to recognize commands good (this is the Google based system, not Siri with Apple Carplay) For example, I said "Go to McDonalds" a very simple command, and it came back asking me if I meant McDonald Mortuary about 500 miles away. Its often very hard to pinpoint a destination. Second, the engine stop-start drives me batty. Not the system working, but what it does when I put my car in the garage, or stop by my mailbox to get my mail. One of three things happen, 1) nothing, the car engine stays running, 2) the engine stops, but the car is still "ready" or 3) the car turns completely off. Ir seems almost completely random what it picks. So go get my mail, and say #3 occurs, now when I get back in the car, I have to press the start/stop button to get going. If #2 occurred, and I press the start/stop button, now the car will turn off, so I have to press it again to start it. Often, I'll pull in my garage, and the car will go off, so not realizing it I press the start/stop to turn the car off, like a normal person would, and the car starts. Hopefully whomever in Germany who created this system was fired. There there is the automatic front breaking. Twice it has thought I was going to crash into something, and nothing was really there. Luckily, it didn't slam on the brakes, just the working display turned on. Finally this car has adoptive cruise control and it reads the speed limit signs. Lets say the speed limit is 45 but I boost it up to 50. Everything is fine until the speed limit changes to 40. Now the car will slam on the brakes to go 40, but the traffic was moving at 50. How I haven't been rear-ended, I do not know. Some of this is not the car's fault, but where humans just ignore stupid speed limit changes, this car follows them. I was driving on the highway to 65, the speed limit, and out-of-the-blue, maybe on a side street it sees a 35mph sign, slams on the brakes again. This is VERY VERY dangerous. In general, this is a car that thinks its smarter than it actually is, causing you to have to undo its wrong decisions. And in an attempt to follow speed limits to the tee, it will likely cause more out of 5 starsFantastic except for FATAL FLAW & ExpensiveBrian,05/20/ TFSI Prestige quattro 4dr SUV AWD ( 6cyl S/C 8A)Bought a loaded 2019 prestige which with taxes and prepaid maintenance was over $90k. Comments: B&O Sound is fantastic, Comfort Seats excellent (massage nice to keep you awake but not much more), performance and handling outstanding for an SUV, build quality and safety great, electronics relatively easy to use, good looking car. FATAL FLAW: TIRES-THERE IS NO SPARE TIRE AND TIRES AREÂ â€¦ HARD TO FIND FOR THE 21" I have gotten an amazing 5 flat/damaged tires in 1 year and discovered the hard way that a) there was no spare tire and b) run flats only work to limp you to a service facility. Try being stuck 5 states away with a screw in your tire on a family trip on a Sunday where the nearest tire that fits your car is another 5 states away and would take 2-3 days to get to the local dealer. I got the 21" wheels which have made finding tires even harder-have YET to find an Audi dealer (my local or when have had issues while traveling) who has them in stock, much less local tire place. And every time it happens I'm looking at $700-900 between the tire cost ($300-400), mounting and balancing. Had no idea when I bought the car it didn't have a spare as this is something I just assumed it did (and I have a '16 S6 which has one). And will NEVER buy a car with any sort of large/nicer wheels without seeing what it's like to get those particular tires. Also, the car comes with Summer Tires which need to be switched for Winter Tires (separate purchase of course)...which is sort of ridiculous on an SUV, another major pain and expense.

Throughout the mid 2000s, the streets are filled with difference machines to impress different crowds in different strokes and one of those is the the VW/Audi EA888 Gen 3 engine. This engine is an evolution of its engines and where we have been over time with those designs – but there are still many questions about it. Let’s take a look on these engines. What are VW/Audi TSI/TFSI EA888 Engines? The Volkswagen TSI / TFSI EA888 is a liter four-cylinder gasoline turbocharged engine based on the EA888 series’ TSI/TFSI. In March 2008, manufacture of the TSI engine began. It was released to replace the existing EA113 family’s TSI engines. This two-liter variant, like the TSI engine, went through a number of revisions during manufacture. The final VW engine has three versions. Engine Specifications and Design: Production Run: 2008 – Present Cylinder Head Material: Aluminum Cylinder Block Material: Cast-Iron Configuration: Inline 4 Bore: mm Stroke: mm Valvetrain: DOHC four valves per cylinder Displacement: L (1984 cc) Compression Ratio: Weight: 320 lbs. Maximum HP: 310 HP at 4,300 – 5,900 RPM Maximum Torque: 280 lb-ft at 1,500 – 5,500 RPM TSI EA888 Generation 1 CAWA, CAWB, CBFA, CCTA, and CCTB are the codes for the EA888 Generation 1. The engine, like the features a cast-iron cylinder block with 88 mm cylinder spacing and 220 mm height. The new forged steel crankshaft with a stroke of mm increased displacement while keeping the bore size same. Furthermore, the engine’s short connecting rods and other pistons reduce the compression ratio to The engine block is outfitted with two counter-rotating balancing shafts that are chain-driven. The aluminum 16-valve cylinder head of the is comparable to the head of the Each cylinder has two intake and two exhaust valves. The intake valve has a diameter of mm, the exhaust valve has a diameter of mm, and both valves have a stem diameter of 6 mm. For valve clearance adjustment, the valvetrain uses low-friction roller finger cam followers and hydraulic tappets. The timing chain drives the intake and exhaust camshafts, which are located on top of the head. The variable intake valve timing system is installed on the intake camshaft. The TSI Gen1 features direct injection with homogenous mixing. The low-pressure fuel pump, which is housed in a tank, distributes gasoline to the high-pressure pump, which provides up to 2,760 psi of fuel pressure to the six-hole fuel injectors. A four-lobe cam on the exhaust camshaft drives the high-pressure injection pump. The engine also includes electronic ignition with long-life spark plugs and four unique single spark coils. Gen-1 Turbocharging With a maximum boost pressure of psi, the engine is turbocharged by the water-cooled and incorporated into cast iron exhaust manifold turbocharger KKK K03. The compressed intake air is routed through the variable shape intake manifold made of plastic. The whole operation is managed by the Bosch Motronic MED ECU. Further, as a compliance, the TSI Gen1 with two lambda probe sensors complies with European pollution standards Euro 4 (CAWB, CAWA engines) and ULEV 2 (CCTA, CCTB engines); the CCTA variant has three lambda probe sensors and complies with Californian SULEV. The EA888 Generation 2 debuted in 2008, with the same set of changes as the TSI Gen-2. The primary goal was to reduce friction and increase efficiency. The diameter of the main journals was lowered by 6 mm for this reason (58 mm to 52 mm). In addition, low-friction thin piston rings, new pistons, and a new technology for creating cylinder wall surfaces were used. A variable oil pump is used in this generation. Furthermore, the engines for Audi applications were outfitted with the AVS system (CCZA, CCZB, CCZC, and CCZD engines); it’s a two-stage intake valve lift controller. After 3,100 rpm, the mechanism changes the valve lift in two stages: mm and 10 mm. The EA888 Generation 2 fulfills greater emission requirements than the EA888 Generation 1 – Euro5 (CDNC engine) and ULEV 2. (CAEB engine). These engines were manufactured till 2015. TSI EA888 Gen 3 The EA888/3, often known as the Gen-3, was created to be lighter and more efficient. First and foremost, the engine received a new cast iron cylinder block with mm thinner walls (3 mm instead of New steel crankshaft, pistons, and rings, as well as an oil pump and light-weight balance shafts, have been installed. The new engine architecture includes a completely redesigned cylinder head. It’s a 16-valve aluminum DOHC cylinder head with a water-cooled exhaust manifold that’s incorporated. The camshafts are still operated by the timing chain, and the AVS system is solely used for the intake valves. The variable valve timing system, on the other hand, is available for both camshafts. Dual injectors are standard on the EA888 Gen 3. For that additional efficient power when needed, one set is put at the port (MPI) and another set is installed inside the cylinders (direct injection). The maximum boost pressure was raised to psi. It was made feasible by adding a new turbocharger (IHI IS20) with an electronic wastegate that controlled boost pressure. The CULA, CULB, CULC, CPLA, and CPPA models use a smaller and less powerful turbocharger – the Garrett MGT 1752S. Engineers made certain design changes for high-performance automobiles. CJX engines having a slightly altered cylinder head shape, a performance intake camshaft, larger exhaust valves, a lower compression ratio of new pistons, more productive injectors, and a high-pressure fuel pump. IHI IS38 turbochargers provide a maximum boost of psi to the engines. More powerful models include a large air-to-air intercooler. The Siemens Simos electronic engine control unit is installed in the Gen 3 engines (ECU). The updated TSI EA888 Gen 3 meets the most recent emissions rules for the European market, such as Euro 6. Applications of VW/Audi TSI/TFSI Engine: VW Golf 5 GTI Golf 6 GTI Golf 7 GTI/7R Volkswagen Jetta GLI VW Passat B6/B7/B8 VW Passat CC VW Tiguan VW Beetle VW Amarok VW Eos VW Scirocco VW Sharan SEAT Alhambra VW T6/California Audi A4 Audi A5 Audi A6 Audi Q5 Audi S3 Audi A1 Audi Q2 Audi Q3 Audi Q7 SEAT Altea Skoda Kodiaq SEAT Leon Cupra Skoda Superb Skoda Octavia RS Problems Surrounding VW/Audi TSI/TSFI Engine: The TSI EA888 TSI engine has been a source for some problems, and though there is a sign that it will get any better with the latest update, the high oil consumption can be attributed to worn out camshafts or chains while carbon deposits on your valves could result from build-up due to improper cleaning practices at home. Apart from that, unstable lifespan, high oil consumption, and timing chain issues earned the TSI EA888 a terrible reputation among automobile owners all over the world. Some of the issues for the engine include: 1. Timing Chain Issues A stretched timing chain is a common issue in the Volkswagen EA888 Gen1 and Gen2 engines; more specifically CCTA, CBFA, CAEB, CAEA, CDNC, and CPMA variants. The major cause of timing chain stretching has been reported to be higher-than-normal power over a sustained period of time. It should last the life of your car, unless unforeseen events put additional strain on it, in which case you may only need to replace it once. Because the timing chain is not normally a planned maintenance item, this problem will likely go unnoticed until some of the symptoms begin to manifest. The issue is usually accompanied by excessive engine noise and unreliable operation, and it might result in catastrophic engine damage. However, the Gen 3 engines have a redesigned tensioner and are less prone to similar failures. 2. Excessive Oil Consumption The Gen 2 is well-known for its penchant for consuming copious amounts of oil. This typical issue is caused by piston rings that are overly thin. The oil consumption is quite progressive, reaching 2 liters per 600 miles at a mileage of roughly 60,000 miles. The remedy is to use pistons and piston rings from a Gen1 engine to replace the factory Gen 2 pistons. That problem is not listed in the issues list for Generations 1 and 3. For Gen 3 engines, the turbocharger actuator must be adjusted when the mileage reaches 60,000 miles or less. 3. Carbon Build Up Carbon buildup on the intake ports and intake valves is an inherent problem with direct injection engines. Instead of being injected into the port and washed out, the fuel is poured directly into the cylinder. This results in reduced airflow, more weight on valves, and poor closing gaps. As another result, the engine will generate less power and use more gasoline. In addition to direct injection, the Gen 3 engines include fuel injection into the ports; in this instance, the latest generation avoids the issue and maintains the intake components reasonably clean. Summary It may appear unusual, but all of the major issues were inherited from the EA888 engine with no adjustments in any direction. There are issues with the timing chain, excessive oil consumption, and carbon deposits within ports and on intake valves. However, everything is repairable. The cast iron engine block is rebuildable, solutions to typical issues have already been discovered, and new parts are not prohibitively expensive. Fill the engine with high-quality engine oil, feed it with minimum 95 RON fuel, and stick to the maintenance plan, and the engine should survive for 150-200k miles. Good thing is that the engine’s lifetime does not decrease after Stage 1 (ECU remapping), and even after Stage 2 – downpipe, more productive turbocharger, and ECU remap, depending on the amount of power you receive. However, Stage 3 will severely impair dependability.

With the introduction of the Q3, Audi in Malaysia now have a complete arsenal in which to assail the potential customer that walks through the doors of its showrooms. They now have the A1, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q3, Q5, Q7, TT and R8 that would appeal to everyone in the family, and them some. And this is not counting the variants in each model line. However, due to the fact that we don’t get the full variant-range as Audi in Europe do, the plan here is more of a surgical strike than an outright barrage-blitz. Honestly, it does not leave you with much choice. Take the Q3 for instance; it comes in only one configuration, which is a litre TFSI engine that produces 170 hp from 4,300 to 6,200 rpm and a torque of 280 Nm from 1,700 to 4,200 rpm. A seven-speed S tronic delivers power to all four wheels, which means the Q3 gets sublime quattro system as well. If you want a more powerful Q3, you can’t. At least, not yet. For now, more power means you’ll have to buy the Q5. There’s a reason for the Q3 being this way, it is meant to compete with the BMW X1 and it does that by slotting itself in the tight niche between the sDrive18i and the xDrive20d. The Q3 offers more power than the sDrive18i and has a four-wheel drive system like the xDrive20d. In a nutshell, the Q3 is the middle path. Even the price fills the gap; the Q3 is more expensive than the sDrive18i but cheaper than the xDrive20d. You can see where this is going. You can have it on your driveway for RM258,000 on-the-road (without insurance) for the base version you see here. Add RM21,000 and you’ll get the S line garnishing that includes a bigger 18 inch wheels (the base gets 17 inch wheels), three-spoke steering wheel and some chrome bits. You could also option for the comfort key (RM2,500), 14-speaker BOSE Surround Sound System (RM5,000), panoramic roof (RM6,000) and Pearl effect colour (RM3,500). Tick all the boxes and your Q3 will cost you RM296,000. I’d go for the comfort key, it makes getting into the SUV quicker than fumbling for the key. Audi’s latest measures 4,385 mm long, 2,019 mm wide (mirror-to-mirror) and is 1,608 mm high. The cargo bay is able to hold 460 litres of luggage and can be extended up to 1,365 litres with the seats folded. I have to admit that I like Audi’s design language. Big hexagonal grille with daytime running lights and LED rears gives the Q3 a commanding on-road presence. In spite of the Q3 looking like a puffed up A1, I still give its looks a thumbs-up. My thumbs-up extends to the interior as well. With a wheelbase of 2,603 mm, a shoulder room of 1,362 mm, the Q3 is always going to be spacious. The quality of the materials, fit and finish is as expected of Audi – overdone. Everything that can be wrapped in leather, is wrapped in leather. Things that are not wrapped is finished in aluminium or brushed metal. All button and dials have a tactile feel that adds to the indulgent experience of driving an Audi. Surrounding the occupants are 10 loudspeakers hooked up to a six-channel amp for a total output of 180 watts. The Audi concert radio handles all multimedia and is displayed on a inch TFT colour display, which you need to manually open and close. In case you’re wondering, the six-CD changer is secreted away in the boot and it does not come with satellite navigation. The Q3 also has a voice dialogue system that lets you activate your phone and change music; it does not let you control the climate with your voice. Let’s not forget safety. Audi’s baby SUV comes with six airbags and ESP, which consists of traction control, electronic differential lock, ABS, EBD and BA. ISOFIX is also found inside, a must for families with younglings. But there is one thing that Audi missed – a power button to shut the boot lid. The trouble is that once popped it open, it’ll be challenge to pull it down because the lid will be high and heavy. Anyone shorter than five feet three inches may need a stool to reach the lid. Park it on a steep slope and someone that is five feet ten inches may need to tip toe to reach the handle. Although Audi says that the Malaysian Q3s have already had its struts shortened, it is still a stretch for most. The SUV is also fitted with the Audi drive select, which lets you tweak the engine mapping, throttle and gear shifts. There are four modes to dial in: auto, comfort, dynamic and efficiency. Of the four, efficiency would be the most notable one. Don’t read that as bad, I tested the car mostly with efficiency on. Yes it makes the car much lazier but it also makes it more frugal. The spotlight is on the gearbox that disengages and goes into neutral whenever the feet leave the accelerator, so the Q3 coasts to a stop. It works on any speed above 10 km/h. The gear re-engages the moment you step on the go-pedal or the brakes, or if the car slows down too much. Audi measured the combined fuel consumption as l/100 km, my best was about l/100 km. In the other modes, the car feels the same. The characteristics are so similar between the four that you’d be hard-pressed to feel the difference. Dynamic is especially disappointing because it does not deliver close to what its name suggest. The pedal still feels soft and the gears still changes up too quick. So, if you’re looking for a quick and faster Audi, try the Q5. Or one of the sedans. Unless you click the stick into ‘S’ then it revs till red before shifting up. Or get into manual and you can flick the gears to the heart’s content. The Q3 has a top speed of 212 km/h and a 0-100 km/h time of seconds, but it never feels explosive. For sure it has enough power to get the wheels turning from rest, but I can’t help wanting a bit more burst from the Q3. As mentioned earlier, the Q3 comes outfitted with the all-wheel drive quattro system that automatically bestows the SUV with brilliant handling. It has good body control and it follows the line you set for it really well. There is plenty of feedback coming from the steering with adequate weight and resistance to match the speed. The ride is supple and it is almost never punishing even when skimming over potholes that suddenly appear. The suspension setup is also firm enough to give it stability when cruising at highway speeds. As good as this SUV is, I also find the Q3 lacking in character. There is nothing that, after closing the door and locking it, makes that vehicle particularly memorable. Aside from the boot lid debacle, there’s nothing really wrong or really special about the Q3. It is odd because Audi has birthed one of the better compact SUVs that money can buy. The Audi Q3 offers a good-looking SUV with all the trappings of luxury that will have you arrive in style. It does not offer anything else, really.

Sometime next year, Audi Philippines will be introducing a heavily refreshed Q7 and with it comes styling heavily influenced by its flagship Q8. But before that happens, there’s this: the 2019 Q7. It’s hard to imagine but 10 years ago, Audi didn’t have SUVs. Sure, they built a name around the quattro all-wheel drive, but they had no high-riding, family-oriented astonishing therefore how Audi’s managed to get the SUV game so right. Compared to its premium-priced compatriots, they’ve managed to build winner after winner after winner, and the Q7 is no different. Determined to future-proof this three-row SUV, they tapped the MLB-Evo platform—the very same one that underpins the Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and the Lamborghini that, it’s managed to shed around 300 kilograms—an enormous saving even on a two-ton (1,950 kilograms to be exact) car while also offering extra chassis stiffness thanks to reinforcements dubbed “torsion rings.”This should be good news because despite a dizzying array of engine options, the base model makes do with a 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Don’t fret though because with direct fuel injection and turbocharging, it makes 252 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque—figures that match some of the more popular mid-sized SUVs, premium or otherwise. Even better, it uses a proper 8-speed torque converter automatic to handle all that claims that the century mark is dispatched in just seconds, an impressive number but probably not the best criterion on which it’ll be judged day to day. Since it’s a 7-seater, 5-meter long, wide SUV, standing starts seem a little important to the would-be buyer is how the Q7 utilizes all this power to effortlessly merge with traffic, be it at highway speeds or trudging along EDSA. Equally great is how the 8-speed gearbox handles all this power. It’s smooth, well-mannered, and responsive. Moreover, the car is refined keeping the outside world hushed even at triple digit steel springs as standard, the Q7 takes on a permissive approach to its ride. There’s a bit more float here, but at least the ride is a match for the character of its drivetrain. There’s an odd low speed niggle, especially when going over expansion joints, but the overall experience is agreeable; definitely better than any of its German better, Audi has managed to disguise the Q7’s mass with linear steering. It’s lacking in feedback and a bit light, but it does result in sedan-like quickness. With generous greenhouses all around, it’s easy to place it despite its size. On the flipside, it doesn’t communicate intimately with the road, but perhaps that’s not part of its CV as a large SUV. In fact, for those in the back seat, this could be deemed decision to mold the Q7 into a more isolated, more opulent experience continues inside. The brushed metal applique, geometric forms, and supreme fit and finish serve this car well and are fitting for a car priced close to 6 million pesos. The treatment here is more of smart, modern, and sensible luxury rather than an ostentatious one. Plus, dig deeper and it’s actually well-speced with power front seats, four-zone climate control, and an electrically retractable third row. The only thing missing would be the vaunted Virtual Cockpit instrumentation and that’s reserved solely for high trim MMI interface, with its combination of buttons, a toggle switches, and a rotary knob, is surprisingly easy to use but because it’s located north of the shifter, requires a reach for those with short arms. Next to the expansive cabin, the 8-inch (retractable) infotainment screen is pleasant enough to look at, but the graphics do come across as low-rent at times. Moreover, it does obstruct traffic Q7’s close to three-meter wheelbase and squared-off roofline translates into an SUV with commendable room across all three rows. Naturally, the front is capacious, but those in the second and third row are treated just as well. With children the most likely occupants of the third row, it’s worth saying that the second-row seats require some muscle to get out of the way. Still, they slide in a split adding to flexibility. With the third row up, there’s room for a couple of grocery bags. Flatten them and it grows to 770 liters. Fold the second row too, and it can actually swallow a whopping 1,955 the broadest sense, the Q7 isn’t the most visually striking or appealing car to look at. However, its sense of understatement seems more becoming of an Audi. Its biggest success is mainly at how it manages to cut its bulk by using strong horizontal lines. The only thing that betrays its size? The 19-inch wheels and tires which look rather small next to the metal work surrounding brand claim has always been to use technology to deliver the gains that other carmakers use more obvious means to achieve and often court compromise for the sake of. With that in mind, the Q7 comes as a serious piece of work—one that combines a practical, brilliantly-constructed cabin with immaculate road manners, and upper-class imperiousness. It’s refined, capable, and laden with sophistication—it’s an ultimate expression of Audi’s knowledge. 2019 Audi Q7 TFSI Quattro click here for latest prices Ownership 2019 Audi Q7 TFSI Quattro Year Introduced 2016 Vehicle Classification Luxury SUV Warranty 2 years / Unlimited kilometers The Basics Body Type 5-door SUV Seating 7 Engine / Drive F/AWD Under the Hood Displacement (liters) Aspiration Turbocharged Fuel Delivery Direct Injection Layout / # of Cylinders I4 BHP @ rpm 252 @ 5,000-6,000 Nm @ rpm 370 @ 1,600-4,500 Fuel / Min.

What’s New for 2020? On the outside, Audi has brought a lot of A8 and Q8 styling, including a larger grille, a fresh headlight design, and - believe it or not – the Q7 is now just a hair longer than the 2019 model. That extra length is attributed solely to the new front fascia which also has a fresh, more aggressive look. The interior now featured Audi’s twin-screen infotainment system – the same one that debuted in the Audi A6 – along with extra connectivity features like Car-to-X service. The upgrades to the Q7’s powertrain is probably the most important of anything. The updated Q7 is not available as a mild-hybrid only, with that 48-volt electrical system now standard in all models from base to range-topping. There’s no official word on how this will affect performance, but it should, at the very least, improve fuel economy. A PHEV model will make its debut at a later time and is expected to have some 25 miles of all-electric range if not a little more. If you want to know more about what differentiates the 2020 model from old models, check out our in-depth article on the Audi Q7’s 2020 design update. Exterior At the same time, the Q7 blends in with the rest of the Audi lineup, featuring headlamps, a singleframe grille and massive bumper intakes similar to those seen on many 2015 model year updates. Design-wise, the all-new Q7 proves that Audi can use more than just a few nips and tucks while redesigning a vehicle. The SUV’s body lines are now sharper, blending more squared-off surfaces front to rear. At the same time, the Q7 blends in with the rest of the Audi lineup, featuring headlamps, a singleframe grille and massive bumper intakes similar to those seen on many 2015 model year updates. On the other hand, the Q7’s huge grille connects to the headlights for a unique appearance. Changes are more subdued around back, where the new Q7 boasts a similar tailgate and a nearly identical bumper. Still, there are a lot of new features, including reshaped, narrower taillights and trapezoidal exhaust pipes. On the sides, the Q7’s trademark character line has been repositioned closer to the sills, while the waistline has been redesigned for a crisper look. If you find the all-new Q7 less bulky, then you eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. The rebuilt SUV is inches shorter and inches narrower, while its height remained virtually unchanged. More importantly, the new Q7 is a lot lighter, with certain trims weighing up to 716 pounds less when compared to the previous model. That’s a massive 26-percent drop from the first-gen Q7’s curb weight. Impressive! Most of the weight was dropped from the chassis, which is 220 pounds lighter, and the body structure, which weights 156 pounds less thanks to a new design. Customers get to choose between 11 exterior colors, four of which are new. An S line exterior package changes the standard bumpers, air inlets, side sills, roof spoiler the diffuser with sportier units, while the grille gets a dark gray, high-gloss finish instead of the standard high-gloss black. Exterior DimensionsSide-by-side comparison Interior Gone is the bulky center stack with its ancient A/C vents, knobs and display, now replaced by a taller center console. Although the new Q7 is shorter and narrower, the cabin is actually longer and offers more head room and boasts an additional inches between the first and second row of seats. Head room has increased by inches up front and inches in the second row. Cargo capacity has also increased. The seven-seat version offers cubic feet of storage room that increases to with the third-row seats folded. The five-seat comes with cubic feet, which increases to cubes with the second row folded flat. Design-wise, the redesigned interior is a massive departure compared to the first-generation’s cabin. Gone is the bulky center stack with its ancient A/C vents, knobs and display, now replaced by a taller center console. As a result, the A/C controls have been repositioned to the same level as the instrument cluster, while the display now resides on the dashboard. The latter also features a unitary design that stretches from the driver’s to the passenger’s side. A brand-new, three-spoke steering wheel replaces the previous unit, while the instrument cluster is all digital. Naturally, the new Q7’s cabin is packed with the finest materials we can expect from an automaker such as Audi. The seats can be wrapped in either Cricket or Valcona leather combined with Alcantara and there are seven different color combos to choose from. The high-grade leather is complemented by a host of aluminum and wood trims, including Beaufort walnut. There’s also a brand-new air conditioning system that uses fewer buttons and controls, with most options displayed on the TFT screen. The MMI system is also new, featuring intelligent suggestions for different tasks, including searching for specific song titles or navigation destinations. As far as entertainment goes, the Q7 comes with one or optionally two tablets as rear seat monitors. The tablet is powered by NVIDIA Tegra 4 processors, is temperature-resistant and connected to the MMI navigation. What’s more, it provides access to the radio, media, navigation and several car functions via WiFi. Drivetrain Lastly, and arguably the biggest news in the drivetrain department, is the introduction of the Q7 e-tron, the first plug-in hybrid from Audi to include a diesel engine. The redesigned Q7 launches with three different engines, with two additional drivetrains to becoming available at a later date. The gasoline lineup includes two units, a four-cylinder and a V-6. The four-banger — primarily developed for the Asian and the market, and first-ever four-cylinder in the Q7 — cranks out 252 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque. Performance and fuel consumption data has yet to be released, but I expect the TFSI SUV to become the most fuel efficient, gas-powered Q7 yet. Next in line is the V-6 making 333 ponies and 325 pound-feet of torque. With this powerplant under the hood, the Q7 sprints from naught to 62 mph in seconds and hits a top speed of 155 mph. With Audi having dropped the V-8 for the new Q7, this is the most powerful conventional unit you can order. The mill is expected to return about 30 mpg. Moving over to diesels, the familiar TDI churns 272 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, a 6-pony and 36-pound-feet improvement over the previous model. 62 mph comes in seconds, while top speed is limited to 145 mph. Expect fuel economy to sit at around 41 mpg. A second version of the turbo-diesel, V-6 will arrive at a later date with 218 horses and 369 pound-feet of twist. Lastly, and arguably the biggest news in the drivetrain department, is the introduction of the Q7 e-tron, the first plug-in hybrid from Audi to include a diesel engine. The same TDI is used here, but this time tuned to deliver 258 horsepower and it pairs to a 94 kW electric motor built into the eight-speed Tiptronic transmission. The combo generates 373 horses and 516 pound-feet of torque, making the SUV the quickest of the new Q7 lineup with a 0-to-62 sprint of only six seconds. The e-tron can travel up to miles on electric power alone. When used as a hybrid, it consumes just liters of fuel per 100 km, which converts to around 138 mpg. In addition to the updated engines and the new plug-in hybrid drivetrain, the Q7 also gets a newly developed eight-speed, Tiptronic automatic transmission. Drivetrain SpecificationsPrices 2018 Audi Q7 PricesCompetitionBMW X5 Completely redesigned for the 2014 model year, the current X5 boasts the same bold styling, but numerous details upgrade it to BMW ’s refreshed design language. Higher-quality materials, improved comfort level, and updated technology are the main feats highlighting the revised interior. As far as engines are concerned, customers now have a choice of three powertrains. The range begins with the sDrive35i and xDrive35i models, which are motivated by a inline-six rated at 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The range-topping version, the xDrive50i, gets an impressive 445 horses and 480 pound-feet of torque from its V-8 unit. Lastly, there’s the xDrive35d, which uses a turbo-diesel making 255 ponies and 413 pound-feet of twist. The BMW X5 retails from $52,800. Read our full review on the BMW X5 here. Porsche Cayenne The second-gen Cayenne received its mid-cycle refresh for the 2015 model year, which brought revised front and rear fascias, a new steering wheel based on the 918 Spyder’s and revised seating for better comfort. Extensive changes occurred under the hood as well. The new S E-Hybrid model received 36 additional horses for a new output of 416 ponies, while Cayenne S had its oomph increased to 420 horsepower despite having its V-8 replaced with a V-6. The Cayenne Turbo now boasts 520 ponies and 553 pound-feet of torque, which accounts for a 20-horsepower gain and 37-pound-feet gain in twist. The Cayenne Diesel’s V-6 cranks out 240 horses and 406 pound-feet of torque. The 2015 Cayenne retails from $61,700, up $5,100 compared to the model it replaces. Read our full review on the Porsche Cayenne here. Conclusion It took Audi quite a few years to roll out a replacement for its full-size, luxury SUV, and looking at this brand-new Q7 I can understand why. The SUV can finally blend among its smaller siblings thanks to its crisper design, while its revamped interior is arguably the most modern of any Audis as of 2015. The big news is, of course, the introduction of the e-tron Quattro version, which makes the Q7 the first production hybrid with a diesel engine. The new Q7 has massive potential against its German competitors, and we might just witness a significant migration from BMW and Porsche to Audi dealerships in a year or so.

Nowe Audi Q7 to luksusowy SUV klasy wyższej, który łączyć ma zalety limuzyny z uniwersalnością pojazdu terenowego. W porównaniu do poprzednika inżynierowie popracowali nad redukcją jego masy oraz wdrożeniu najnowszych rozwiązań z zakresu bezpieczeństwa. Czy zmiany te faktycznie są odczuwalne? Nowe Audi Q7 - terenowa limuzyna? Audi Q7 nigdy nie było autem, do którego mnie szczególnie ciągnęło, podobnie zresztą jak do innych jemu podobnych SUV-ów. Duże i ciężkie „krowy”, które mimo potężnych silników rozczarowują osiągami, a przy tym wyjątkowo niewdzięcznie zachowują się w szybko pokonywanych zakrętach, to dla mnie kompletna abstrakcja. Tym większa, że w przeciwieństwie do aut pokroju Jeepa Wranglera, nie radzą sobie też w trudniejszym terenie. Jednak po zajęciu miejsca w nowych Audi Q7 i pokonaniu ponad 700-kilometrowej trasy testowej muszę przyznać, że pod wieloma względami samochód ten jest nie tyle dobry, co wręcz wybitny. Poza kilkoma wyjątkami. Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Zobacz też: Test Volvo XC90 D5 225 KM: styl i nowoczesność O sylwetce nie będę się wypowiadał wiele, każdy z nas ma swój własny gust. Do mnie projekt nadwozia nie trafia, jest zbyt ciężki i mało wyszukany. Przekonuje mnie za to coś innego – jego wykonanie. Spasowanie poszczególnych elementów poszycia jest wzorowe, a proste kształty nadwozia w części pasażerskiej ułatwiają zajmowanie miejsca w kabinie czy ładowanie dużych przedmiotów do bagażnika. Najważniejsze jest jednak to, czego nie widać – zgubione kilogramy. Nowy model jest o ok. 300 kg lżejszy od poprzednika! To ogromna różnica, którą można poczuć już po pierwszych kilometrach jazdy. Co ciekawe, lekka konstrukcja pozostała solidna, uzyskując maksymalną notę w testach zderzeniowych Euro NCAP (5/5 gwiazdek). Wnętrze To co mnie zachwyciło w nowym Audi Q7 to na pewno jego przedział pasażerski. Finezyjny projekt kokpitu łączy styl z funkcjonalnością. Zupełnie nowa deska rozdzielcza, z ogromną listwą nawiewów powietrza, została wykonana z miękkich plastików, prawdziwego aluminium, a do tego częściowo pokryta jest skórą. Układ przycisków jest czytelny, a ich liczba ograniczona do niezbędnego minimum. Rewelacyjne jest także spasowanie całego kokpitu oraz innych elementów wnętrza. Nawet na dużych nierównościach trudno doszukiwać się jakiegokolwiek skrzypienia zarówno z okolic deski rozdzielczej, jak i foteli czy przedziału bagażowego. Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz Kierowca ma przed sobą czytelny zestaw analogowych wskaźników, pośrodku których umieszczony jest sporych rozmiarów kolorowy ekran komputera pokładowego (można na nim wyświetlać mapę z nawigacji czy obraz z kamery na podczerwień). W górnej części centralnej konsoli zlokalizowano wysuwany ekran systemu multimedialnego MMI drugiej generacji. Nie posiada on dotykowej matrycy, ale jakość obrazu jest dobra (choć barwy są wyraźnie mniej żywe niż w ekranach stosowanych przez BMW). Wyświetlacz prezentuje nie tylko informacje z układu nawigacji, radia czy telefonu (istnieje możliwość zintegrowania smartfona z Google Android Auto i z Apple CarPlay), ale także ustawienia samochodu, w tym te odnoszące się do pracy pneumatycznego zawieszenia. Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz Pokrętłem umieszczonym obok dźwigni skrzyni biegów, kierowca może regulować prześwit auta, korygować siłę wspomagania kierownicy lub stopień tłumienia nierówności przez amortyzatory. Nowością jest funkcja pozwalająca obserwować kąt natarcia auta lub jego pochylenia względem podłoża (tryb Off Road). Zobacz też: Nowa KIA Sportage 2016 - wrażenia z jazdy Godna podkreślenia jest dobra pozycja kierowcy za kierownicą. Fotel ma szeroki zakres regulacji, umieszczony jest dość nisko (można go jednak zaskakująco wysokość unieść do góry), a siedzisko jest bardzo długie i regulowane w dwóch płaszczyznach. Kierownica jest nieduża, dobrze leży w dłoniach i pokryta charakterystyczną dla aut marki Audi skórą. Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz Pasażerowie auta nie powinni narzekać na brak komfortu. Kabina jest fantastycznie wygłuszona (o niebo lepiej niż w nowym Volvo XC90), a szum powietrza opływającego auto staje się dokuczliwy dopiero przy ok. 200-210 km/h). Fotele w drugim rzędzie siedzeń są podgrzewane, pokryte przyjemną w dotyku perforowaną skórą, a do tego każdy z nich można regulować indywidualnie (przód-tył i kąt pochylenia oparcia). Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz Dużo gorzej sytuacja wygląda na dwóch ostatnich fotelach. Brakuje miejsca na nogi, a nisko umieszczone siedziska ograniczają komfort jazdy. Nie można odmówić im jednak jednego – funkcjonalności. Oba fotele są nie tylko składane, ale i rozkładane w pełni automatycznie. Po schowaniu foteli w podłogę, powstaje przestrzeń o kubaturze 770 litrów! Jeśli autem podróżuje 7 osób pojemność kufra kurczy się do 295 l. Zawieszenie pneumatyczne Cisza i spokój, którymi zachwyciło mnie wnętrze nowego Audi Q7 to efekt nie tylko odpowiedniego wygłuszenia kabiny, ale także sposobu pracy jego aktywnego zawieszenia. Niezwykle gładko rozprawia się ono nawet z dużymi nierównościami drogi, nie przenosząc na pasażerów auta większych drgań czy wstrząsów. Pneumatyczne zawieszenie Audi Q7 potrafi jednak coś więcej. W zależności od prędkości auta zmienia jego prześwit. Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz Zobacz też: Test Kia Sorento CRDi 185 KM 4WD 6 AT W trakcie jazdy w trudnym terenie (tryb Off Road) może zwiększyć go nawet o 55 mm, zapobiegając potencjalnym uszkodzeniom podwozia. Po przekroczeniu prędkości 120 km/h zawieszenie może obniżyć się o 15 mm, zmniejszając w ten sposób współczynnik oporu powietrza Cx z 0,33 do 0,31, a tym samym hałas spowodowany opływającym karoserię auta powietrzem. Silnik TFSI 333 KM W większości aut osobowych motor o pojemności 3,0-litrów i mocy 333 KM może wydawać się zbędnym kaprysem. W aucie tej klasy i wielkości co Audi Q7, jest on jednak wręcz niezbędny. To właśnie dzięki wysokiej mocy, ten doładowany mechanicznie silnik z serii TFSI bez trudu radzi sobie zarówno z udźwignięciem potężnego auta z 7-osobową rodziną na pokładzie, jak i z pociągnięciem nawet 3,5-tonowej przyczepy (ale tylko w wersji z zawieszeniem pneumatycznym). Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz Z niezwykłą łatwością rozpędza prawie 2-tonowe auto od 0 do 100 km/h w czasie 6,3 sekundy, ciesząc kierowcę wysokim wigorem już od 1500 obr./min. Ma przy tym przyjemny dźwięk i niezwykle wysoką kulturę pracy. Do działania potrzebuje jednak sporych ilości paliwa. W mieście zużywa od 14 do 18 l benzyny w zależności od stylu jazdy kierowcy, na trasie zużycie paliwa spada do 9-10 l/100 km. Szeroki zakres użytecznych obrotów i sposób rozwijania przez niego mocy, rekompensuje jednak jego ponadprzeciętny apetyt na paliwo. Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz nieznane Z silnikiem współpracuje 8-stopniowy automat firmy ZF. Mimo prostszej konstrukcji niż automaty dwusprzęgłowe, trudno jego pracy coś zarzucić. Przełącza biegi szybko, gładko i bez zwłoki. Dopiero w trybie Dynamic i przy maksymalnie wciśniętym gazie w podłogę okazuje się, że zmianie przełożenia towarzyszy wyraźne szarpnięcie. Paradoksalnie, to właśnie to szarpnięcie pozwala kierowcy odczuć siłę silnika i impet z jakim auto nabiera szybkości. Jak prowadzi się nowe Audi Q7? Audi Q7, choć poddane wyraźnej kuracji odchudzającej, nie jest lekkim pojazdem. Okazuje się jednak autem sprawnie przemieszczającym się po zakrętach. Układ kierowniczy pracuje lekko i precyzyjnie, a przy tym na tyle bezpośrednio, aby pokonywać większość rond i zakrętów bez konieczności odrywania rąk od kierownicy. Zobacz też: Test Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Quadra-Trac Niezależne, pięciowahaczowe przednie i tylne zawieszenie sprawnie utrzymuje w ryzach prawie 2-tonowe auto. Dopiero próba zaatakowania zbyt ciasnego zakrętu na śliskiej nawierzchni odkrywa typową dla aut Audi tendencję do podsterowności. Gdy ta wystąpi, można próbować ją zminimalizować wykorzystując do tego świetny napęd wszystkich kół quattro, oparty na Torsenie T-3. Napęd quattro W trakcie gwałtownego przyspieszania układ potrafi przenieść na tylną oś 85% momentu obrotowego, nadając autu nadsterowną charakterystykę prowadzenia. Na śliskiej nawierzchni można pokusić się nawet o jazdę w kontrolowanym poślizgu. Na co dzień napęd 4x4 przydaje się do zapanowania nad mocnym silnikiem podczas jazdy na mokrej nawierzchni, bądź do pokonywania głębokich zasp śnieżnych. W trudniejszy teren lepiej się jednak nie zapędzać nowym Audi Q7. Mimo wielu zalet, jego napęd 4x4 nie jest tak skuteczny jak np. ten w Jeepie Grand Cherokee. Zobacz też: Test Audi Q3 TFSI 220 KM Quattro S tronic Cena i wyposażenie Chyba najpoważniejszych mankamentem Audi Q7 jest jego cena. Najtańsza wersja z silnikiem TFSI kosztuje 310 tys. zł, ale aby auto posiadało takie rozwiązania jak prezentowany egzemplarz czyli np. kamerę na podczerwień do nocnej obserwacji drogi przed autem, elektrycznie regulowaną kolumnę kierowniczą, wyświetlacz Head-Up, system nagłaśniający Bose Surround Sound z dźwiękiem 3D (19 głośników) czy elektrycznie sterowane przednie fotele trzeba przeznaczyć na auto ponad 500 tys. zł. Audi Q7 TFSI 333 KM Kamil Fraszkiewicz Opinia Mimo mojej początkowej awersji do Audi Q7, rozstałem się z tym autem będąc do niego w pełni przekonanym. Co prawda nadal uważam wybór Audi A6 Allroad za lepszy, ale w swojej klasie Q7 jest niezwykle dopracowanym samochodem. Wyraźnie zredukowana masa pozytywnie wpłynęła na poprawę zachowania auta w zakrętach. Rewelacyjnie zaprojektowane i wykonane wnętrze dorównuje przestronnością tym z limuzyn klasy wyższej, a przy tym oferuje ogromny przedział bagażowy. Pneumatyczne zawieszenie pracuje fenomenalnie, utrzymując wysoki komfort jazdy nawet na 21 calowych felgach z niskoprofilowymi oponami. Benzynowy silnik jest mocny i świetnie radzi sobie nawet z w pełni załadowanym autem, a przy tym idealnie dogaduje się z napędem quattro. Łyżką dziegciu okazuje się astronomiczna cena pojazdu i wysokie koszty jego eksploatacji. Jednak w tej klasie aut czynniki te mają już drugorzędne znaczenie.

Sometime next year, Audi Philippines will be introducing a heavily refreshed Q7 and with it comes styling heavily influenced by its flagship Q8. But before that happens, there’s this: the 2019 Q7. It’s hard to imagine but 10 years ago, Audi didn’t have SUVs. Sure, they built a name around the quattro all-wheel drive, but they had no high-riding, family-oriented vehicles. It’s astonishing therefore how Audi’s managed to get the SUV game so right. Compared to its premium-priced compatriots, they’ve managed to build winner after winner after winner, and the Q7 is no different. Determined to future-proof this three-row SUV, they tapped the MLB-Evo platform—the very same one that underpins the Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne, and the Lamborghini Urus. With that, it’s managed to shed around 300 kilograms—an enormous saving even on a two-ton (1,950 kilograms to be exact) car while also offering extra chassis stiffness thanks to reinforcements dubbed “torsion rings.” This should be good news because despite a dizzying array of engine options, the base model makes do with a 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Don’t fret though because with direct fuel injection and turbocharging, it makes 252 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque—figures that match some of the more popular mid-sized SUVs, premium or otherwise. Even better, it uses a proper 8-speed torque converter automatic to handle all that twist. Audi claims that the century mark is dispatched in just seconds, an impressive number but probably not the best criterion on which it’ll be judged day to day. Since it’s a 7-seater, 5-meter long, wide SUV, standing starts seem a little gauche. What’s important to the would-be buyer is how the Q7 utilizes all this power to effortlessly merge with traffic, be it at highway speeds or trudging along EDSA. Equally great is how the 8-speed gearbox handles all this power. It’s smooth, well-mannered, and responsive. Moreover, the car is refined keeping the outside world hushed even at triple digit speeds. With steel springs as standard, the Q7 takes on a permissive approach to its ride. There’s a bit more float here, but at least the ride is a match for the character of its drivetrain. There’s an odd low speed niggle, especially when going over expansion joints, but the overall experience is agreeable; definitely better than any of its German rivals. Even better, Audi has managed to disguise the Q7’s mass with linear steering. It’s lacking in feedback and a bit light, but it does result in sedan-like quickness. With generous greenhouses all around, it’s easy to place it despite its size. On the flipside, it doesn’t communicate intimately with the road, but perhaps that’s not part of its CV as a large SUV. In fact, for those in the back seat, this could be deemed desirable. Audi’s decision to mold the Q7 into a more isolated, more opulent experience continues inside. The brushed metal applique, geometric forms, and supreme fit and finish serve this car well and are fitting for a car priced close to 6 million pesos. The treatment here is more of smart, modern, and sensible luxury rather than an ostentatious one. Plus, dig deeper and it’s actually well-speced with power front seats, four-zone climate control, and an electrically retractable third row. The only thing missing would be the vaunted Virtual Cockpit instrumentation and that’s reserved solely for high trim models. The MMI interface, with its combination of buttons, a toggle switches, and a rotary knob, is surprisingly easy to use but because it’s located north of the shifter, requires a reach for those with short arms. Next to the expansive cabin, the 8-inch (retractable) infotainment screen is pleasant enough to look at, but the graphics do come across as low-rent at times. Moreover, it does obstruct traffic occasionally. The Q7’s close to three-meter wheelbase and squared-off roofline translates into an SUV with commendable room across all three rows. Naturally, the front is capacious, but those in the second and third row are treated just as well. With children the most likely occupants of the third row, it’s worth saying that the second-row seats require some muscle to get out of the way. Still, they slide in a split adding to flexibility. With the third row up, there’s room for a couple of grocery bags. Flatten them and it grows to 770 liters. Fold the second row too, and it can actually swallow a whopping 1,955 liters. In the broadest sense, the Q7 isn’t the most visually striking or appealing car to look at. However, its sense of understatement seems more becoming of an Audi. Its biggest success is mainly at how it manages to cut its bulk by using strong horizontal lines. The only thing that betrays its size? The 19-inch wheels and tires which look rather small next to the metal work surrounding it. Audi’s brand claim has always been to use technology to deliver the gains that other carmakers use more obvious means to achieve and often court compromise for the sake of. With that in mind, the Q7 comes as a serious piece of work—one that combines a practical, brilliantly-constructed cabin with immaculate road manners, and upper-class imperiousness. It’s refined, capable, and laden with sophistication—it’s an ultimate expression of Audi’s knowledge. 2019 Audi Q7 TFSI Quattro click here for latest prices Ownership 2019 Audi Q7 TFSI Quattro Year Introduced 2016 Vehicle Classification Luxury SUV Warranty 2 years / Unlimited kilometers The Basics Body Type 5-door SUV Seating 7 Engine / Drive F/AWD Under the Hood Displacement (liters) Aspiration Turbocharged Fuel Delivery Direct Injection Layout / # of Cylinders I4 BHP @ rpm 252 @ 5,000-6,000 Nm @ rpm 370 @ 1,600-4,500 Fuel / Min.
