The new Audi SQ7 TDI arrives on the Spanish market just before the end of the year

Last summer the Audi Q7 family was expanded with the arrival of a new member: the sporty and radical SQ7 version with a diesel engine, a powerful proposal offering great performance and restrained consumption given its figures and the type of vehicle. Although its arrival was originally scheduled for September, the new Audi SQ7 will finally reach Spain just a few days before the end of the year.

Aesthetically, the new Audi SQ7 receives the characteristic features of the “S” models of Audi, such as the vertical bars in the grille Singleframe, the mirror housings now have an aluminium finish, and chrome is used for the four rounded exhaust outlets, while the standard wheels are 20-inch with a five-spoke design. Even so, if we prefer a more sporty look we can always opt for the black style package.

Stepping inside, the sporty character remains present thanks to the use of black as the main colour, including the standard upholstery, which combines leather with Alcántara , while the inserts are brushed matt aluminium, although carbon fibre is also available as an option. If we choose the S plus sports seats, the upholstery becomes Valcona leather with a diamond pattern in several colours.

In terms of standard equipment, for the Spanish market the Audi SQ7 includes features such as the MMI Navigation plus system, Audi Matrix LED headlights with dynamic front and rear turn indicators, sports front seats with electric adjustment and driver memory, an anti-theft alarm, and the Audi parking system plus, among others. Naturally, there is also a long list of options to further upgrade the SQ7’s equipment.

Mechanically, the new Audi SQ7 uses a V8 four-cylinder diesel engine producing 435 CV and a torque of 900 Nm, a strong pull available almost instantly thanks to the 48 V EPC system, which assists the two turbochargers. With these figures the Audi SQ7 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and reaches a limited top speed of 250 km/h, while the combined consumption is set at 9.1 l/100 km and CO2 emissions at 239 g/km according to the WLTP test cycle.

The new Audi SQ7 has already arrived at Spanish dealerships, with a starting price set by the brand at €114,050.
