► 2016 Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro - Footage

The new Audi Q7 e-tron quattro is the world’s first plug-in hybrid with a six-cylinder diesel engine and quattro all-wheel drive.
The plug-in hybrid drive in the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro delivers plenty of power in any situation. The 3.0 TDI engine and the electric motor together produce a combined system output of 373 horsepower (275 kW) and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of torque. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) takes just 6.0 seconds; top speed is 225 km/h (139.8 mph). Thanks to the 75 liter (19.8 US gal) fuel tank, total range is as much as 1,400 kilometers (869.9 mi). The advantage of the plug-in hybrid: Whereas cars with classic drive trains lose energy during braking, the Q7 e-tron quattro recuperates. In other words, during braking, it converts kinetic energy to electrical energy, which it can use again when accelerating.
The 3.0 TDI, a highly efficient, latest-generation V6 diesel engine, delivers 258 horsepower (190 kW) of power and 600 Nm (442.5 b-ft) of torque.
The electric motor produces 115 hp (94 kW) of power and 350 Nm (258.1 lb-ft) of torque. Together with a decoupler, it is integrated into the eight-speed tiptronic. The automatic transmission boasts high efficiency and low weight. During fast cornering, the quattro permanent all-wheel drive works closely with the wheelselective torque control, an intelligent software feature. This brakes the inside wheels ever so slightly, thus further enhancing the car’s agility and stability.
The Audi Q7 e-tron quattro also sets standards in consumption: According to the ECE standard for plug-in hybrids, it uses just 1.7 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers (138.4 US mpg). This corresponds to emissions of 46 grams CO2 per kilometer (74.0 g/mi). The climate control system is also designed for maximum efficiency.
The Audi Q7 e -tron will be rolling into European dealerships with a generous list of standard equipment in spring 2016. The base price in Germany is 80,500 euros.
