Most auto fans know that diesel engines are rather popular across the ocean. European diesel vehicles are well loved because they offer noticeable increases in torque performance while also increasing fuel economy ratings. Now, Audi is bringing a diesel version of the 2014 Audi Q7 to the U.S., and its wondering just how well the model will fare with American drivers.
Offering both a gasoline engine and the diesel option, the seven-seater Audi Q7 stands out from the crowd due to its sophisticated driving feel, luxurious interior and high-tech amenities.
The diesel engine found in the new Audi Q7 is a TDI 3.0-liter engine that achieves an incredible 406 lb.-ft. of torque from a respectable, but not overwhelming, 240 horsepower . It's paired with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and features the brand's quattro all-wheel drive. And, even with all of this power, it manages to achieve 28 mpg on the highway.
For drivers who'd rather have a traditional gasoline engine, you can expect to find a supercharged 3.0T V-6 engine that produces 280-hp standard or an upgraded 33-hp version. This engine is capable and provides a smooth purr. In either case, drivers are sure to be please with their decision to choose the new Q7.
