Audi SQ7 Suv Rental
The drop in weight helps add to its now 28% increased fuel efficiency, but it also makes it more agile says Audi. Quattro or all-wheel-drive is standard of course, and its new lighter mid-differential also helps to the lighter weight and more efficient transmission. The diesel engine is superbly mated to the 8-speed tiptronic gearbox. And yes the standard paddle shifters are a hoot as always - downshifts are instant and the car responds overall with alacrity.
New Audi Sq7 test drive
the first thing you notice with the new ‘SQ7’, is that it has a more determined and defined form than its predecessor. this creates a larger road presence, even though the model is actually 37 millimetres (mm) shorter and 15mm narrower than before. this is because of the front’s horizontal lines, deeply sculpted singleframe grille that features thick crossbars, and the broad frame, which extends to the headlights. these lights are unmistakably AUDI, with a sharp and double arrow-shaped design, and are either available with their xenon, LED or matrix LED technology.
continuing to reference its smaller size, the SUV actually boasts a larger interior, adding 21mm between the first and second rows of seats, and creating 41mm of head room in the former row and 23mm in the latter, respectively. in addition to its spaciousness, the inside provides an atmosphere of cultivated elegance with premium materials. a key focus is its wrap-around panel that runs from door-to-door, through the instrument panel. following these contours, an ultra-narrow light creates a calming ambient, which changes dramatically when warning passengers about exiting the car.
as well as the smaller size, the second-generation AUDI ‘Q7’ features a lightweight construction, reducing its bulk by 325kg and lowering its center of mass. this makes it very easy and agile to drive, as well as bettering its fuel consumption. an important part of this is the front and rear axles’ light five-link design that replaces the previous car’s double wishbone axle. this, empowering an electric spindle drive, makes all-wheel steering possible. its back wheels turn inwards by as much as five degrees, and at low speeds, they steer oppositely to the front ones. this reduces the turning radius by up to one meter and is most noticeable, and appreciated, when driving up the curving swiss alp roads and when parking.
however, when at high speeds, the rear wheels follow the movement of the front, optimizing its steering response and further increasing its stability. this is highly appreciated when traveling along highways, like we did, in the powerful 3.0 liter TDI and TFSI engines. the former and the first we test drove, boasts 272hp, 600Nm of torque and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds
