2017 Audi Q7 E-tron Quattro Diesel Plug-in Hybrid

The Audi Q7 E-tron Quattro Diesel Plug-in Hybrid Model Was Official Unveiled Today At The Geneva Motor Show.

The Car's Reveal Followed Last Month's Release Of The First Photos, Details, And Specifications Of The All-new 2017 Audi Q7 Line.
Audi Says The Q7 E-tron Quattro Is "the World's First Plug-in Hybrid With A Six-cylinder Diesel Engine And Quattro All-wheel Drive."
Volvo Has Offered A Diesel Plug-in Hybrid Model Of Its V60 Wagon In Europe For A Couple Of Years Now, But It Uses A 215-horsepower 2.4-liter Five-cylinder Diesel Engine, Plus An Electric Motor On The Rear Axle That Provides All-wheel Drive.

Overall, The New Q7 Has Dropped A Whopping 700-plus Pounds (325 Kg) Due To The Mixed Materials Used In Its Mlb-evo Underlying Architecture.

That's The Version Of Volkswagen Group's Large-car Underpinnings That Will Be Used For Multiple Models From Audi, Bentley, And Porsche. It's Designed Around A Longitudinal Engine, Unlike The Mqb Architecture For Smaller Cars, Which Is Based On A Transverse Engine.

The Base Engine For The 2017 Audi Q7 Will Be A 252-hp 2.0-liter Turbocharge Four-cylinder Engine, A Significantly Downsized Powerplant Compared To The 3.0-liter V-6 Base Engine In The Current Q7 Sold In North America.
Audi Claims An Average Reduction In Fuel Consumption Of 26 Percent Across The Entire Q7 Range, In A Vehicle That's Smaller In Exterior Dimensions But Has Greater Interior Volume For Both Passengers And Cargo.

The Audi Q7 E-tron Quattro Will Be Launched In Initial Markets Shortly After The Rest Of The New 2017 Q7 Range Goes On Sale.
Its 258-hp 3.0-liter V-6 Diesel Engine And 94-kilowatt Electric Motor (which Is Integrated Into The Eight-speed Automatic Transmission) Have A Combined Output Of 373 Hp, And Produce 516 Lb-ft Of Torque.

Audi Says The All-electric Range From Its 17.3-kilowatt-hour Lithium-ion Battery Pack Is 35 Miles (56 Km), But That's On The Gentle Nedc European Test Cycle. A Comparable U.s. Figure Might Be Closer To 20 To 25 Miles.

The Company Quotes A Top Speed Of 140 Miles Per Hour, Acceleration From 0 To 62 Mph In 6.0 Seconds, And All-electric Acceleration From 0 To 37 Mph In 6.1 Seconds.
Audi Notes That The Q7 E-tron Quattro Claims Another World First: It's The First Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle Fitted With A Heat Pump As Standard, Substantially Reducing The Energy Required To Heat And Cool The Passenger Cabin.

As With Most Plug-in Electric Vehicles, Owners Can Pre-condition The Cabin To Heat Or Cool Itself While The Car Remains Plugged In, Via A Smartphone App.
