When you think mid-size sedan, what words come to your mind? Safe, economical, smart, these are all fine choices. But as far as fun goes, this word couldn't be farther from our minds when considering a mid-size sedan. Luckily, fun is the first thing that comes to mind for the engineers at Audi.

Eyes on the future. #AudiA4

In an over-saturated market, crossovers across various verticals are constantly vying for your attention. Not all, however, can deliver luxury along with ground clearance. Not like the Audi Q7, anyways.

For those who may have missed it, the Audi SQ7 TDI is an automotive juggernaut. Boasting a 4-liter V-8 diesel engine, the SQ7 TDI can produce 435 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. Just to rub it in a bit, the SQ7 TDI also features an eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and a four-wheel steering system. So yeah, it’s more than a little impressive. Faster-than-an-actual-jet impressive? You be the judge.
