Four years after entering the market - at the end of June 2019 - Germans during the online presentation were declassified by the restyled Audi Q7, which was not only noticeably updated the appearance, to fit it under the current stylistry of Audi models, but also as follows the content. The crossover was separated by a fully recycled interior with three displays, a "soft" hybrid superstructure for all engines (but not for Russia), electromechanical stabilizers and new options.

Exterior

The appearance of the AUDI Q7 2020 model year can boast an attractive, modern, harmonious and noble, but at the same time at least not a heavy appearance devoid of contradictory solutions.

Interior Salon

There are practically no physical keys on the front panel, and three color displays immediately decorate it: the driver is located 12.3-inch scoreboard of the virtual device combination, and on the central panel - the upper touchscreen diagonal 10.1 inches, which is entrusted with entertainment and navigation systems, and the lower 8.6 -Mime screen, head of microclimate and comfort (heating, ventilation and massage functions of seats).

By default, the interior decoration of a full-size SUV has a five-seater layout, but in the form of an option it can be equipped with a third number of seats capable of without explicit discomfort or constraint even two adults (although only in short trips).

In front of the cabin, ergonomic chairs with a well-pronounced side profile, dense filler and a huge number of all sorts of settings are mounted.

On the second row - moderately welcoming sofa with adjustments in the longitudinal direction and the corner of the backrest and all the necessary amenities (armrest, cup holders, ventilation deflectors), but too high outdoor tunnel.

In the Audi Q7 arsenal of the second generation - ideal in the form of an 865 liter trunk (though, when installing the gallery, it is compressed up to 309 liters). The second row of seats is folded by three sections in the ratio "40:20:40", which allows you to bring the capacity of the cargo compartment to 2050 liters, while getting a completely flat site.

In the niche under the raised floor, the lowered "dance" and the necessary tool are neatly laid.

As for the versions themselves, this is: 45 TDI (231 hp), 50 TDI (286 hp), 55 TFSI (340 hp).

Constructive features

At the base of the AUDI Q7 of the second embodiment lies the modular architecture of the MLB of the second generation with the longitudinal location of the power plant. The carrier of the crossover is 41% is made of aluminum (all external panels are also made of it), and by 12% from ultrahigh-stage steels.

The car is equipped with independent suspension - double-clicking front and multi-dimensional rear, but in the "base" - with conventional springs, and in the form of an option - with adjustable pneumatic racks. In addition, the Fiftemer can be staffed (for surcharge) by electromechanical transverse stability stabilizers.

Standard premium-SUV is supplied with a steering with an electric amplifier and a variable rack teeth step, but a full-direction chassis is offered to order for it with an active front steering gearbox and a sweeter mechanism (it turns the rear wheels to an angle until one and a half degrees in one direction with the front, and Five - in the opposite). On all the wheels of the Germans, ventilated disc brakes are enclosed, supplemented by various electronic systems.

Configuration and prices

The restyled Audi Q7 of the second generation will appear on the Russian market only in the first quarter of 2020 (closer to the moment its value will be swinging), while in Germany it is already sold at a price of 66,900 euros (~ 4.7 million rubles).

As for the "pre-reform" car, it can be purchased in our country at least 3,995,000 rubles - so much asked for a 2.0-liter version of 45 TFSI. At the same time, the diesel version of 45 TDI will cost in the amount of 4,570,000 rubles, and 333-strong execution 55 TFSI - from 4,750,000 rubles.

The new Audi Q 7 is the largest European crossover with a strong sports character and appearance of a premium car. In the second generation, the seven became more sophisticated for many. Sitting behind the wheel, absolutely you do not feel that you manage the SUV, such a move of this car is similar to the wagon, while the technical capabilities loudly declare themselves immediately upon departure on the highway.

Exterior

Powerful and dynamic, with rapid bends of the hood, smoothly fluttering into firewalls and ending the feeding ribs and bulk wheel arches, is all updated Audi Ku 7, which attracts attention from the first seconds of acquaintance with him. The entire line "Q" is changing, and its business card becomes the surround hexagonal radiator grille SingleFrame. Expressiveness looks like a form of daytime running lights in the form of a double boom.

The base offers LED optics, but complete incarnation of the brand style has become optional headlights with AUDI Matrix LED technology and dynamic turn signs. The effect of optional optics can be estimated in the dark: the road is highlighted evenly, the headlights snatch from other participants in the movement and independently regulate the power of the light flux. This system operates both in the mode of daytime running lights and during the operation of far light.

The whole accent is postponed to the back of the car. Thanks to the beveled rear racks, the car silhouette seems noticeably wider and higher. The feed has changed little, especially this is noticeable by optics. The rear lights are all the same habitual block-like shape expanding the trunk. They are invincible horizontally elongated cataphoths made under the main compartment. Even the restyled version of the Audi Q 7 2018 remained in this part unchanged. Someone will seem boring, but everything has its advantages. Here everything is truly: large lining of the exhaust system, the blowing skirt of the lower bumper, just a huge lid of the trunk. A small surprise is an optional headquart, which absolutely does not spoil the appearance of Ku 7 and hides under the bumper. If necessary, you can click on the button and this item smoothly will become in your place.

The appearance of this car emphasizes the title of premium crossover. Powerful wheel arches suggest that the car has a massive 22-inch wheels, although discs 19 are sold in the database. The clearance of this model due to the adaptive pneumatic suspension comes to 235 mm depending on the selected ride mode.

Basic version - Auto with shiny decorative moldings in the glazing zone, painted in the body tone External rearview mirrors, roof rails for aluminum. Ingolstadt offers its customers to assemble yourself a car and start with design. Already became the usual package of external decoration S -line, underlining the sporty nature of the car. Designers have provided an additional opportunity to change the appearance of this model, offering their customers a few options for designing the bumper and lining. You can select CARBON style inserts and emphasize the expressiveness of this model. Design also looks original S.tONE GREY METALLIC or completely black and edging wheeled arches andtitanium b lack glasses.

Interior

The basis of the Ingolstadt Concept - Comfort in every detail. It is felt right away as soon as you open the doors Q 7. At first it seems that you get into some kind of plastic space, but it is worth touching the panel, it is immediately felt that this is a very expensive car. Even in the base, the finish is striking by his nobility. The car turned out at the same time exquisite and simple. Here everything is in place: a horizontally elongated panel with blowing deflectors and a laconic control zone of auto functions. Immediately, you note that the massive buttons and twilight has become much smaller, and the part of the keys is put on the steering wheel. But this does not mean that the functionality of the model fell. On the contrary, sowing behind the wheel, you feel like a pilot of the aircraft. To enter the car menu, it is enough to use the driver's information system, which is pre-installed already in the database.

So, sat down and slammed the door. And here the newbies expect a surprise. The door does not slam down under the effort, it seems to be drawn inside. Looking around, you can notice small suckers in the doorway.

The steering wheel ... externally creates the impression of the sports "Baranki", but in fact it turns out to be a rather unusual steering wheel with a wide profile. Thanks to the four-speaking design, it looks like an elongated side, while keeping it very convenient, especially, given that the braid is leather here.

Separate attention deserves chairs. If you buy such a car, then immediately with optional comfortable seats with an individual circuit setup. But even in the standard of chairs, it does not seem so uncomfortable: the front row with heating, there is an electrically regulating the lumbar department. In a more expensive configuration, you can get the driver's and front passenger seat ventilation, as well as armchairs with a massage function. Landing this model is average, but due to narrow side racks, the AUDI Q 7 review is not limited.

This model is sold in two versions: a five-seater or seven-storey car. In the first case, the passenger row amazes with their scoring. This is not surprising, especially if you consider the dimensions of this model. Behind the comfort is placed by three adults, for each passenger there is your seat belt. The rear sofa has three independent backs, which are folded in the ratio of 35:30:35 and regulated by tilt in 16! Positions.

Optionally, when ordering PLUS functions, extreme rear passenger seats move horizontally in 11 positions, which makes it possible to adjust the free space. Manufacturers stated as many as 28 landing options and luggage accommodation! In a standard position, the passengers do not feel cramped: small grooves in the backs of the front seats give space knees, and even the overall central tunnel in the legs does not grind free space.

The review usually participates a five-seater model Audi Q 7 as a more popular car, and yet the seven-seater also deserves respect. On the third row there are only two separate seats certified as children's chairs of category 22-36 kg. Their backs are folded using an electric drive in a 50:50 ratio.

The trunk is a separate topic in the audience of Audi Q 7. In a five-seater variant with the backs raised, its volume is 890 liters. If the rear passenger series is transformed, then a huge compartment of 2075 liters is completely. Skiing, diving equipment, bicycles - in such a trunk can be placed almost anything. And these are not all surprises from Ingolstadt engineers: by clicking on the button in the cargo compartment, you can raise or lower the body, which will noticeably facilitate the placement of things. You want a bonus - get the sacrifice hidden to the floor in the form of an arguing wheel.

It is worth noting the trim of the cabin. In the database you will get leather seats and fabric floor. Colors and materials emphasize the exquisite internal design. Optionally, you can add a background lighting package in the form of backlighting the thresholds and contour of the central console.

Visual comfort is complemented by the highest functionality. Already no one surprises a large monitor, towering on the central console, in which the MMI Touch Response control concept has found its display. The drivers of the old school it is difficult to believe that the external tablet on which all information about the car is concentrated, absolutely does not interfere on the road. Management occurs with the help of the touchscreen located behind the transmission selector. You can choose both pre-installed commands and use handwritten input. Separately provides voice control.

The dashboard is on an amateur. Want - choose the usual view with the tachometer, speedometer and the readings of the on-board computer, and you want to switch to Audi Virtual CockPit with a 12.3-inch display (though, this feature is considered an option). In this format, the driver receives a navigation map. And it is possible to make life easier and remove the data on the windshield, and not only standard, but also navigation tips.

From the trifles that will be appreciated by every driver is a central rear-view mirror with a dimming, two independent climate-system units, a package for smokers, car mats, a soft coating of the cargo compartment and the drive of the trunk cover.

Remembering that KU7 is far from an expensive car, in the cabin I want to find a lot of modern devices. The soft armrest on the central tunnel is not just a support for hands. Having lifted it, you can detect a small compartment - Audi Phone Box. If you put a smartphone in it (Apple iOS 10.0 or Android 6 and above), then the car immediately recognizes it by Bluetooth and the driver will be able to manage its mobile device using MMI (manual or voice control).

Not without acoustics. The level of music in the salon of this car will appreciate music lovers. Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System gives 3D sound. It seems that high-frequency speakers here are everywhere. Some of them are small protrusions on the sides of the central console. Who does not want to break the perfect horizontal torpedo, can press the button and hide the external speakers inside. It will not affect the sound quality.

Specifications

If you spend the test drive of this car in the conditions of Russian depths, you can make an unequivocal conclusion that Audi Q 7 will never be called the SUV. He is the crossover and in any way differently. The highway is exactly what this model is required. Here, the seven will fully demonstrate its magnificent course stability, an instantaneous reaction to the movement of the steering wheel, low center of gravity and small rolls on turns.

But the rigid off-road ku7 is clearly not on the teeth. It does not save even a pneumatic suspension with the clearance adjustment function. The only thing that she can do is to soften the blows while driving around the irregularities, increase the clearance, which will allow the car to climb to the slopes of up to 24 degrees, and turn on the hiring of the rear wheels. The rest of the way remains all the same rigid as the first generation of the crossover. The car clearly reacts to the change of coating, and even the slightest rut at a speed of 100 km / h can force the car to twitch, so the driver must always be on the check and hold the steering wheel.

However, this crossover is quite good, especially with the Quattro full drive system, thanks to which the driver will have no problems with the control of the wet asphalt or on a light off-road. U ki seventh there are front and rear transverse stability stabilizers, which allow you to hold the roll when turning, and the special tilt angle indicators allow you to balance each wheel even with full cabin boot. Thanks to the optional adjustable suspension, you can change the ride modes in six bands. For the route, boldly choose a standard Comfort and enjoy the ride.

Audi Q7 is produced on the MLB ECO platform, thanks to which the car managed to lose weight by 325 kg compared to the previous generation. This gave additional dynamics and increased performance while reducing the load on the motor.

On the Russian market, Audi Q 7 is sold as a diesel engine (there are rumors that in 2019 the concern may withdraw them from sales) and in gasoline. If you need a workhorse, then buy turbodiesel. Some scares the power in 249 hp, but with a torque of 600 nm, all doubts immediately go away. On the speedometer 120, 140 and even 150 km / h, and diesel behaves so smoothly and quietly that they do not notice at all how the speed increases and changes something in the behavior of the car. Thanks to the magnificent sound insulation, only a light rustle of the road is heard.

Basic four-cylinder gasoline engine with a capacity of 252 hp And the torque of 370 nm is weak for exploits, so it is impossible to expect that CU7 will go on off-road on it and show some supertranches on the track, but as an urban version it is very good. He will turn away the car until hundreds of 7.1 seconds, but the more loaded the car will be, the harder it is necessary for the motor. A stronger three-liter gasoline accelerates for 5.7 seconds.

The transmission of this model is a smooth eight-stage automatic. During acceleration absolutely no, slow-moving and freezes. All exactly, whatever the regime is selected.

Modern technologies

Without the driver's helpers, no modern car is required. In Ingolstadt, they know what comfort is, therefore, they supplied ku 7 in many sensors and scanners. Information with them is displayed on the projection screen on the windshield and the Audi Virtual Cockpit panel, where navigation prompts are immediately included.

One of the helpers is a night vision system. Q 7 is equipped with a thermal imager reacting to pedestrians and animals. The information immediately appear on the screen and the car will begin to reduce the speed. Avoidance Assistant will work, which will send the car on the trajectory of the obstacles. In the case of an inevitable accident, an emergency braking system is triggered, which facilitates the task of the driver on maneuvering in difficult conditions.

Like all the latest Audi, Ku 7 is a step towards unmanned driving. This car is so confident in herself that in some situations he openly declares his superiority over the owner. The main assistant is the name of Audi Active Lane Assist, it works in a complex with numerous sensors located around the perimeter of the car. This assistant responds to departure to the neighboring strip, at a speed of 30 km / h recognizes the approaching interference even in the indirect visibility zone. Audi Active Lane Assist is indispensable when driving on the highway: an adaptive cruise control system holds a safe distance to a cargo car.

Q 7 also has the assistants of the rear and transverse movement. Even a novice driver can be parked the car back, because each movement of the car commented and visualized on the monitor.

Seven is good for the city. At a speed of 0-65 km / h, an assistant movement in traffic jams, which evaluates the road situation, keeps the speed, reacts to pedestrians and sharp maneuvers of other participants in motion.

Is Audi KU7? Undoubtedly yes! All in this car at the highest level, but there is one but. This machine is designed for large roads. I want to ride it in the city, please learn to the filigree maneuvering, because with such a loving speed of healthy to squeeze into the flow of the metropolis will be difficult. Otherwise, this car conquers its functionality and strength.

5 / 5 ( 1 voice)

Literally with the heat, with the heat of the German autocontracean presented in mid-December the same Audi Q7 in the new body. Before the official premiere of new items for a couple of months. Europeans will be able to assess the appearance and characteristics of Audi in spring at the exhibition in Geneva.

Recall that the Audi crossovers are produced since 2005. It was repeatedly subjected to a serious modernization, ranging from facelifting and ending with a shift of the filling. The last diesel broke all: 500 horsepower at 1000 Nm! Until 2010, Q7 was equipped with a 6-speed automaton, from 2010 - 8-speed. The PIC sales of the German crossover fell for 2007, when 41,000 models were sold in Europe, and in the USA - 21,000. The entire range of Audi.

History of car

Audi Ku 7 2016 is a car that represents the world famous German company in the SUV sector. This vehicle can be bolden by the successful combination of sports nature and versatility, the most advanced technologies and luxury of the representative segment of the representative segment.

The driver will be conserved by the driving characteristics, as well as the dynamic machine. Created a new Audi CU 7 developers of a known full QUATTRO drive. On any type of road surface and under any conditions, it will be extremely reliable.

In 2006, the Audi automotive firm boldly stated that it was able to create a vehicle for Quattro technology. This means became a massive crossover Audi KU7 TDI. After the appearance of this car, a consonant resonance was caused in the automotive communities, and for Audi, the novelty became a debut application about himself in the niche of crossovers.

Audi Q7 2006

A similar experiment was successful, and the Q family began to improve. Commercial success of Audi Ku7 TDI could exceed the expectations of most skeptics. And as otherwise, because the age of the peak of the popularity of crossovers in full swing.

Almost every automaker seeks to demonstrate its own perfect solution of a similar class machine.

It will not be superfluous to recall that the Audi fell on this market of crossovers the mostst of the car companies of the "Large German Troika". Therefore, the tasks were the most ambitious - it is necessary to get your tidy slice of popularity in this niche.

And it seems that the company was able to cope with such goals! The car was well accepted on both sides of the ocean, and the Russian Federation did not exception. Despite the rather immodest price tag, the new Audi Q7 was able to collect big queues, stretching more than half of the year.

The new Audi Q7 was based on a new MLB platform, which is the newest development of engineering composition from Ingolstadt.

Exterior

We did the right thing that began a story about the new Audi with appearance. It was she who underwent revolutionary changes. The car still recognizes, however, a couple of sharp faces appeared in the exterior. Thanks to them, the new Audi Q7 looks like an excellent and more sports.

A larger radiator grille (now its ribs are horizontal, not vertical), renewed lighting and bumper played its role in the "sportiness" of the second generation. By the way, the head optics of the car can be three types: LED, xenon and matrix.

Having a large trapezoid shape, a falseradiator grille received horizontal lines of chromium. By the way, its name is SingleFrame. Located in front of the bumper possesses powerful and strict features, optics looks narrowed, as if "tracked", however, it looks quite pretty.

Also, the front lamps may have a different appearance depending on which type of optics is installed in them. In the basic modification, you can establish xenon optics, and in more expensive branded Audi Matrix LED with LEDs.

The lateral part of the German car Audi Kow 7 draws attention to the roof falling to the back, large arches of the wheels in which the wheels fit on the original disks. The side doors were actually rather big, they are very comfortable and practical. You can notice strict horizontal logging lines.

After a side view on the Q7 of the latest version, you understand that there are no longer games and entertainment, everything is really extremely serious. Even in the basic configuration of Audi Que 7 2015, 18-inch wheels of wheels, which received a restyled appearance. Optionally also available 19, 20 and even 21-inch wheels.

The stern part of the car gives the symphony of a practical, functional, aggressive and elegant component. A large door of the luggage compartment was supplemented with a rather big glass. Thanks to this, you can easily engage in loading and unloading completely overall baggage.

Pretty large glass made it possible to increase the degree of crossover visibility. Rear headlights look amazing. They are made in LED execution, and optionally you can install advanced lighting with dynamic turn signs. The rear bumper decided to leave the former and not give him a more massive appearance. It looks very modestly with an excellent diffuser and nozzles of the exhaust system.

Despite the fact that the external design lines were slightly changed, they were able to stay in the recognizable style of the automotive concern brand. The rapid bends of the front and rear lines along with powerful rear ribs with highly inclined racks were able to create a massive stamped silhouette.

If we talk about the grille of the radiator, then it turned out in the style of the AUTO Union models and is based on a solid, not deprived of the bumper grace. The manufacturer also pointed out the new MLB platform, which is the latest development of engineers. However, not everyone is clear what stands behind these three letters. Let's try to figure out.

A lot of effort and time spent professional reduction professionals and an increase in body stiffness with the help of the introduction of high strength steel, as well as body elements from aluminum. Such metal was applied to the side doors, hood, front part and front wings, trunk doors.

As a result, the weight of the oven gasoline car Kew7 3.0 TFSI is 1,970 kilograms, and the Diesel version of Audi Que7 3.0 TDI - 1 995. Based on the dimensions, the novelty decreased compared to the predecessor of 7 millimeters in length, by 15 millimeters in width, and the base of the wheels - by 12 millimeters.

The windshield coefficient also improved significantly - 0.32. Such an impressive body aerodynamics is an absolute record in this car segment.

Despicable on, perhaps contradictory opinions about the new design, most of them came across the way. Honestly, to compare the first and second generation seems not even correct, because there are about 10 years between these models, and what we look at today can be safely called the future.

Throughout 2015 and 2016, all vehicles of the German company will be changed in their appearance and in all machines it will be possible to guess a new proprietary stylist. The crossover became more serious and more attractive.

For its key achievement, the developers of the Seventh Ku are called the weight loss of the machine. The German Crossover lost 325 kg, 71 of which came to the body. The power frame was made of ultra-shock steel, while the doors, the front part, the wings with the hood are made of high-quality aluminum.

The Diesel version is the hardest - 1995 kg, while the car with a gasoline engine is slightly lighter - 1 970 kg. Walk around the dimensions. Unlike the older brother, Audi Q7 2015 became a little shorter of the previous car. The novelty has dimensions in length 5 050 mm and in width of 1,970 mm. The height remained the same (1 740 mm).

Interior

The interior of the Audi Que7 of the second generation was susceptible to almost complete alteration. In addition to new materials, a much advanced ergonomics of a panel front, a changed console, which found its place in the center, and new seats.

There is a completely fresh layout, which made it possible to achieve an increase in the free place for legs and above the head of the driver and passengers sitting on the back sofa. At 21 mm, free space for legs in the rear seats was increased, 41 mm added places above his head and 23 mm from behind.

Moreover, the interior of the crossover was able to expand in the shoulders area, about 20 mm arrived. In general, the Sixer Salon of 2015 may be a basic jeep, designed for 5 seats, and can approach a 7-seater family full-size car, in which there are 3 rows of seats.

In the standard version of the two-row execution of the chair, installed from the back, can be shifted in the longitudinal direction at a distance of about 110 mm, which is more than the last version of the previous version. Car doors can open almost 90 degrees, which greatly facilitates landing into the car.

After you get for the steering wheel of a new German crossover, you will almost immediately mark the convenient profile of the seat surface along with solid lateral support. In addition, the seat has a large number of available position parameters, which provides the ability to feel sufficiently comfortable, despite long-term trips.

The steering wheel itself has a very convenient diameter and thick, so it is very nice to keep it in my hands. In part, it was possible to achieve with the introduction of leather upholstery. Directly behind him, the instrument panel was found, which is represented by a digital display, a diagonal of which is 12.3 inches. However, a similar instrument panel will be installed only optionally, just like the projection screen on the windshield.

The central tunnel in the interior of the new generation of Audi Que7 was able to intrigue his simple, but at the same time original, concise lines. Seats, installed in front, have an electrical drive for settings, with adjusting ventilation and heating.

Optionally also available seats that have eighteen settings and five massager functioning modes. Seats received solid lateral support. Hands can go to the rim, which was covered with leather trim, which also contains a compact hub and thin spokes.

On the front panel you can see smooth lines together with the ventilation system deflectors across the entire width of the torpedo. The car has a new two-zone climate control with a TFT-screen (optional 4-band).

There is an opportunity as an option to install additional equipment, among which there will be a panoramic hatch with an electric drive, LED background lighting of the interior, different variations of the interior skin, premium-class music Bang & Olufsen (Country of Denmark) and more.

The new MMI multimedia system family has a color display designed for 7 or 8.3 inches, which is able to travel from the torpedo when turned on. The advanced multimedia option received support for voice control and knows how to understand the usual language, and will be able to provide a chauffeur and sitting by a nearby passengers with a sufficient arsenal of the most recent world functions, such as supporting telephone, radio, music, navigation system, Internet access and Wi-Fi.

About the site on the central tunnel in general, nothing can be said ill, it is unique and stylish. It is located between the driver's seats and the next passenger sitting nearby and has a MMI option settings station, a strong control selector, an automated Tiptronic KP, the electrostructure button and impressive cup holders.

It is clear that the novelty received many electrical services that are designed to respond to the safety of the lives of the driver and passengers. Having pleased the presence of parking sensors, cruise control with the speed limit option, in the more expensive version of the adaptive cruise control with the START / STOP system and the automated movement in traffic jams (the car can not only stop, and also accelerate, steering, however, this feature is valid Only to the speed of the speed regime in 60 km / h).

SROSS-TRAFFIC Assist (helps to maneuver when moving by reverse), Lane Assist, Parking Assistant, Cameras, which allow Panoramic visibility, a service that follows the physical condition of the driver, a system that recognizes road signs, a camera capable of seeing at night and so on .

German specialists were able to work like that that sitting in the car do not feel at all that it is big, and it is not harder to manage it, rather than the hatchback of the class "C". Only the car starts, clearly notice that this crossover on the go is much superior to the past family.

The back door in the basic version received a snap-in electrical drive for its opening, and the Advanced Key feature will allow you to give a team to open or closing the trunk door with the help of a wax foot of the rear bumper. Interestingly, it was also changed for the better loading height - 46 mm lower than that of the predecessor.

The luggage compartment was changed. So, the new Audi Q7 with seven seats will have about 295 liters of free luggage space. The basic version of the car with five landing places will have already impressive 890 liters of useful space.

If necessary, it will be possible to increase the luggage compartment, while creating the rear seats, which will eventually provide as many as 2,075 liters of free space, which will undoubtedly please those who love to travel or spend free time with family on vacation.

What is hiding inside? It turns out that the novelty was built on the MLB modular platform. So that you understand this thing will become the basis for the following generations and. In the European market, the CU CU 7 crossover debuts with a couple of 3-liter turbogo turbos.

Gasoline without problems issues 333 horses, diesel - 272. It is noteworthy that diesel was economical and spending 5.7 liters per 100 km, while the gasoline unit requires 7.7 liters every 100 km.

A little later, the gamut of the engines want to dilute 3.0 TDI units, diesel - 249 liters. from. and 2.0 TFSI, gasoline - 252 liters. from. Even the naked eye can be seen as far as this car is more economical than the predecessor. However, the main surprise is still ahead.

In 2015, a hybrid version was released with an electric motor at 94 kW and a three-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 258 horses. In sum, the return of this system will be 373 liters. p., Fuel consumption will be 1.7 liters per 100 km.

The three-liter TFSI is a gasoline engine combined with automatically retrieving turbocharger on the small turnover. Previously, this power unit delivered enough trouble with its drivers, however, now all the problems were eliminated.

Transmission

Motors are in conjunction with an 8-range automatic machine. In the first case, it is possible to accelerate to hundreds in just 6.1 s, in the second - for 6.3. Separate attention deserves a full-controlled chassis. As with most Porsche 911 models, the rear wheels are able to rotate, which increases the passability of the car.

The automatic transmission switch has a new self-locking differential, which allowed to be the block itself smaller than the dimensions and easier by weight. In normal conditions, the thrust is distributed between the front and rear wheels in the proportion of 40/60. Up to 70 percent of traction can go to the front axle and up to 85 - to the back.

Suspension

A new machine has a standard adaptive pneumatic suspension, which provides high comfort and balanced characteristics - in a standard variation, where the stepless electronic adjustment of the stiffness of shock absorbers and the ability to change the height of the road lumen (up-down to 30 millimeters).

In addition, there is a sports adaptive pneumatic suspension S Line, which underestimates the clearance of 15 millimeters. It is clear that Audi Ku7 2016 is a conditioned SUV, because this vehicle was designed, given that the real off-road it would not see.

Of course, the car without difficulties can move from asphalt and move to a country house on the ground covering, move the border in the city drawing, but not more. Although, hypothetically, the machine has an increased friction differential, such as Torsen, who knows how much, however, it is difficult to imagine that the car that costs from 3,600,000 rubles. Pounded in real swamp.

Steering

The steering device has a roll type and a steering wheel amplifier, which allows you to easily control such a rather long-wheel drive vehicle.

Brake system

Video Overview

Audi Q7, 2016

Operated about 25 cars: Nisan (patfainder and terrano), Sudzuki Grand Vitara, Mitsubishi Galant (a good car, I really liked it). From the "Germans" BMW 520, then sat on the "Japanese" - Prado Landkuser 150, Camry. I chose a long time - I was looking for a diesel. BMW x5 really liked it, Volvo X90 new a lot of minced mela, but the engine seemed weak and noisy (maybe due to rubber). Folskvagen Touareg did not seem outwardly and internally, Mercedes Gle-a bit expensive, but sowing in Audi Q7 understood this. Very frisky, comfortable landing, good visibility plus made a good discount and free of charge two first services that. While the first runs are small. It took 12 days and 420 km of pleasant driving - consumption in the city of 12-16 liters. At MKADE, when free, 7-8 liters, installed winter tires Nokian Nordman RS (Velcro) - a time-tested, good, inappropriate rubber, put the mudguards - bought in the online store in Naberezhnye Chelny for 4500 p with delivery to Balashikha 4- day, installation in the audi center 8800 rubles. The little jacket jumped out - the knot opening handle flew, the lock was killed, but there was a service with the service, there and put. From all my diversity I had machines from Audi Q7 while the biggest oil consumption. They speak the service that at the beginning it will be so. But something is anxious. But driving is one pleasure.

Dignity : frisky. Excellent visibility. Comfort.

disadvantages : Oil consumption.

Audi Q7, 2016

Until Audi Q7 owned the Car Lexus RX 350 car. So, the configuration "Business Line", 7 places 3 l TDI, according to PTS 249 hp The headlights of my car LED - look worthy, forming an interesting modern appearance of the front part, in front of half a hand, is also super. Noise insulation Audi Q7 at the height is not worse and no better than Lexus. But the diesel is still heard until you stand and the music is not included plus a slightly catchy vibration as well. It accelerates well, but the size of the car is felt (Lexus accelerated no worse). It ruls well, especially in the "speaker mode" - the steering wheel becomes harder, the car is lowered before, if I'm not mistaken, see 16-17 and at high speed behaves very confidently. The song is simple. But, as it seemed to me, in a traffic jam, in the "torn mode", well, when the gas pedal is released - sometimes somehow slows down. It is even felt by a small "precipitating" jerk, as if braking is going on, hence noticeable jerking and it starts straining. But sometimes it seems and not so annoying, you need to get used to it. In general, it is necessary to push the gas not in an example more than on Lexus, the pedal is "heavy", the same applies to the smoothness of the course - the Lexus is smaller and much more comfortable in traffic (the gas pedal is simply "stroking" and slightly sliding). But, of course, inferior on the controllability of Audi Q7 at speed, because Lexus is very flushing and turns the steering wheel first and then only behind him goes. In general, the farther, the more I like the Audi Q7 in terms of controllability and dynamics, "I draw her little girl. The acceleration confident at any speed, did not accelerate to the maximum, but 165 was confident, it was not terribly. The disadvantage is that when the kick-down position is from a standing position, there is a delay before the machine "jump" forward. At least in the "Comfort" mode. There was no such thing in Lexus. In a serious off-road did not come down and I will not. According to the primer with Ugabami included the "Offroud" mode - up to 30 km per hour the maximum height (235 seems). Cruise control has not yet used. Cruise, despite the lack of an assistant movement in traffic, is too complicated for me: the speed limit can be set and something else, and is it necessary? Rear did not go and far home did not drive away. But the rear places - abound, there are heating of the two rear seats and climate for each passenger.

Dignity : See above.

disadvantages : See above.

Audi Q7, 2015

Audi Q7 liked the more of all the considered competitors: excellent handling (stability in turns is better than on most competitors), it is possible to take options that others have no other package. Yes, and the overall feeling from the car is very pleasant. The car took in St. Petersburg - there is cheaper (more discounts), there was a desired equipment with a panorama, stacked in the designated budget. In addition, the options are also added, although not too necessary: \u200b\u200bthe night vision chamber, an electric drive, car parking with a circular survey cameras. Auto in configuration S-Line and in addition to the package and the above options are NAVI and the electronic instrument panel. Since I chose Audi Q7 from availability, I had to sacrifice some options: door closers (I will install it necessary), 4-zone climate with the heating of the rear seats, the sensor of the blind zones (used to Jaguar and Q3). Still would take a twisted rear suspension. But I did not find a car in such a configuration, and I did not want to wait for a custom or overpay for some other unnecessary options. I was surprised by the lack of the Start-Stop system: it believed that they were put by default for European cars for several years. In St. Petersburg immediately disobey the car: regular 285/45 R20 costs from 27 thousand rubles. for the tire. That rubber, which wanted - from 33 tr. And this is not a dealer. I took it twice cheaper than not sparkling Continental 275/45 R20 - the size that stood on the previous model. Now there is a mileage of about 5,000 km - there are no problems. When traveling from Peter to Krasnodar, with a check-in in V.Novgorod, the flow rate was 10.3 liters. 100 km at an average speed of 106 km / h per 1800 km of way. For the entire car trip, the police stopped only once. There were no breakdowns and problems.

Dignity : Handling. Options. Engine. Comfort.

disadvantages : until I found it.

Audi Q7, 2016

The car is not unambiguous, but definitely one of the most advanced copies among classmates. Of the advantages of Audi Q7 - finishing materials and leather on the panel, the doors are akin to Porsche, Alcantara on the ceiling, door closers and other suite, and electronic assistants even excessively. Massages, pensions and connection with space and the next pedestrian step by thought. Really comfortable Wi-Fi in the car. The closure and opening of the trunk foot - works in times. When empty hands runs, with a box in hands pretty that you just perform ballet "Pa". Of the minuses of AUDI Q7, again, the excessive overload of the digital screen and the Complexed MMI logic. Another pretty acute side face is a flat steering wheel. For long distance, the hand begins to "cut". In general, the car is of course good, good and quality jumped above rivals

Dignity : Modern. Beautiful. Comfortable.

disadvantages : price.

Rostislav, Moscow

Which crossover can be bought for 1 million rubles? "Renault Captures", "Hyundai Kreta", "Duster" is an incomplete list of modern budget SUVs. But those who want a premium jeep for a small amount should pay attention to Audi Q7 2006. This is the first generation of luxury full-sized SUVs. What is Audi Q7? Specifications and review of the German crossover - further in our article.

Design

Despite the 10-year old, the design of this crossover is quite modern. Front is the branded wide grille of the "Audi" radiator and a linase head optics. In the slot of the bumper gently hides a strip of running lights. Below are the fog. Audi Q7 2006 is distinguished by massive wheeled arches and drives of impressive sizes. Wide windshield provides a great overview for the driver.

According to reviews, Audi Q7 2006 still attracts the views of passersby. With this machine you can stand out from the stream. The car has an indiscreet design. But in the case of an accident, the cost of repairing one detail can reach hundreds of thousand rubles - body aluminum, and get into color (especially if it is silver metallic) is very difficult.

Sizes, clearance

The "Audi Ku7" crossover simply affects its large size. The body length is 5.1 meters, width - 1.99 meters, height - 1.74. Road clearance is one of the main achievements of this car, as noted by feedback. The 24-centimeter clearance is enough for the crossover confidently moved not only by primer, but also by off-road. In addition, the four-wheel drive "Quatro", which significantly expands the off-road capabilities of this car.

Also note that some versions of Audi Ku7 have equipped with it allows you to change the clearance in the range from 18 to 24 centimeters directly on the go. However, now many instances have a faulty suspension. Pneuma can spontaneously descend, especially in winter - reviews. In order not to poke the cylinders, it is recommended to carefully flush the dirt and process with silicone.

Salon

Audi Q7 2006 has a presentable salon. The front armors are equipped with a wide range of electrically regulators. The steering wheel is also configured in different positions. On the center console there is a multimedia screen and powerful air ducts.

Below is the branded CD magnetol and the climate control unit. Between the front seats there is a wide armrest with a cup holder. "Beard" (continued central console) is at the level of the driver's knees. It would seem that it significantly grinds the salon space. But free space in the Audi Q7 2006 is enough with a margin - they say reviews. Finishing materials - leather, Alcantara. ABS plastic (very durable and pleasant to the touch). Also in the cabin there are wooden and aluminum inserts (sometimes carbon). They can be different tones, depending on the configuration.

Thanks to the high landing, good visibility is provided inside. Mirrors are quite massive and informative. Reviews note that Q7 2006 is characterized by good ergonomics - all controls are at an affordable distance. Depending on the configuration, the crossover went in five- and seven-seed design. In the latter case, the presence of a third row of seats in the trunk area was assumed. However, these seats are deprived of such side and lumbar support, as the rest, and are more for children.

Trunk.

Its volume in the seven-storey performance is 330 liters.

The five-seater "Audi" is designed for 775 liters of the boot. Well, with a folded second number, up to 2 thousand liters could increase.

Audi Q7: Specifications

In the Russian market, this car was offered with two diesel and two gasoline engines. Let's start with the latter. Basic is a six-cylinder V-shaped unit for 272 horsepower. Engine volume - exactly 3 liters. With him "Audi" could accelerate until hundreds for 7.9 seconds. Fuel consumption varied within 9-15 liters. The maximum speed was limited to 225 kilometers per hour.

The flagship in the gasoline line was a three-liter TFSI unit for 333 horsepower. This motor accelerates a 2,3-ton SUV to hundreds in 6.9 seconds. The maximum speed is 245 kilometers per hour. What is noteworthy, the fuel consumption of this motor is the same as in the case of a 272-strong unit.

We now turn to the diesel line. The most common modification of AUDI Q7 2006 - 3.0 TDI. This is a six-cylinder engine with turbocharged, thanks to which the capacity was 245 horsepower. This power unit is notable for the fact that the thrust is available with almost the "idle". So, overclocking up to hundreds takes 7.8 seconds. And the maximum speed is 215 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the unit is very economical, unlike the "gasoline" - they say feedback. So, at 100 kilometers of the "Audi" TDI path spends from 6.7 to 8.6 liters of fuel.

The second diesel unit - 4.2 TDI. This is an eight-cylinder engine that developed the power of 340 horsepower. With him "Audi" accelerated to hundreds in 6.4 seconds. And the maximum speed was 242 kilometers per hour (and this despite the fact that the weight of the crossover in this equipment is almost two and a half tons). Fuel consumption - from 8 to 13 liters per hundred, depending on the style of driving and operating mode. All of the above units have been equipped with an automatic transmission "Tittronic" to eight steps. It can work in manual mode.
