Celebrities please take notice, the next generation Audi Q7 has been finally launched in India at a starting price of Rs. 72 lakhs Ex-showroom, Delhi. The Q7 is Audi’s flagship SUV offering in India and targets the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and the Volvo XC90 as its main rivals.
The Audi Q7 in its previous avatar had a cult following and a status symbol among Film Stars, Cricketers and the rest of the high class in India. The mammoth SUV cemented Audi in India like no other model and took it right up there with the other two German luxury car manufacturers in India. The car has now been launched and boasts of technology and performance that is quite unlike a traditional Q7, that is for the better of course. The new car is based on the Volkswagen Group’s newest MLB platform and immediately makes it fitter by nearly 300Kgs, but at the same time making the construction much more stiffer than before.
The 2016 Audi Q7 gets a 3.0-litre V6 diesel motor that develops around 268BHP and is mated to a 8-speed automatic gearbox that is enough to propel the car from a standstill to 100Km/hr in just around 7 seconds. This makes it almost as fast as the previous generation model that was powered by the 4.2-litre V8 diesel. Another way to recognize this as a fast Audi is the badging that with its new nomenclature reads ’45 TDI’. The new Audi Q7 is packed to the brim with safety features such as Predictive Efficiency Assistant, Turning Assistant and Exit Warning System which indicates vehicles or cyclists approaching from the rear before the door is opened, adaptive cruise control, multicollision brake assist, night vision assistant, active lane assist and the list just goes on and on.
The exteriors of the car are all new and this time around looks much more polished and sophisticated than the brute looking previous generation car. The interiors too are all new with a high quality dashboard that gets Audi’s new Virtual Cockpit, Audi connect Telematics and a brilliant sounding Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System. Other features on this new flagship from Audi is the Matrix LED headlights and Quattro all wheel drive system.
