2006 Audi Q7

Audi Q7 sets new trends through its design alone. Characteristic Audi dynamism is reflected in the broad curve of the roof line and the distinctive high body surface in relation to the flat window area. The dynamic sweep of the front section and the powerful rear end with its sharply sloping D-posts fashion a coupe like silhouette. The paintwork option of two contrasting body colours creates a particularly striking look.

The Audi Q7 is naturally equipped as standard with quattro permanent four-wheel drive. Its Torsen centre differential conveys power to all four wheels, on-road and off-road, achieving maximum traction and lateral stability. This drive concept has become firmly established over the past 25 years, featuring both in more than two million series-production Audi cars and in countless victories on the racetrack and in rallies. Like the Audi RS 4, the Audi Q7 features the latest-generation Torsen differential, with a standard torque split of 40 : 60 (front / rear). The driver benefits thanks to virtually balanced axle load distribution and from even better agility and steering precision that remains practically free of torque steer.

With a length of 5,086 millimetres and a wheelbase of exactly 3,002 millimetres (width: 1,983 mm / height 1,737 mm), the Q-7 takes the lead in the SUV contest. Its occupants benefit from the comfort of incomparable spaciousness, Up to seven occupants can be accommodated in three rows of seats. The seats in the second row are individually adjustable for fore/aft movement; in addition to this, passengers can enjoy the largest legroom in this class.

The chassis of the Audi Q7 comprising numerous aluminium components, independent wheel suspension with double wishbones at the front and rear, also excels with its all-round qualities. Steel-spring suspension and twin-tube shock absorbers are designed for sporty driving and superior comfort, even off-road. The tilted position of the rear spring and shock absorber unit reduces overall height and creates more room at the rear.
