2010 Audi Q7: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Audi Q7 gets slightly freshened styling and a revised version of Audi's MMI (Multi Media Interface). This premium large SUV shares elements of its basic design with the Volkswagen Touareg. Q7 differs from the VW in styling, equipment, and price. It's also larger and seats up to seven versus Touareg's five. Q7 reprises 3.6 Premium, 3.0 TDI Premium, and 4.2 Prestige trim levels, all with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive. The 3.6 has a 280-hp 3.6-liter V6 engine. The 4.2 has a 350-hp 4.2-liter V8. The 3.0 TDI has a 221-hp 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. All have a 6-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity is 6600 lb. Available safety equipment includes ABS, traction control, an antiskid system, front side airbags, 2nd-row side airbags, and curtain side airbags. A driver-adjustable suspension with height control and adaptive cruise control are available. Audi's revised MMI system is available with a navigation system that includes real-time traffic updates. It uses a dashboard screen and a console knob and switches to set audio, navigation, suspension, and many other functions. Among available features are rear-obstacle detection, keyless entry and engine start, adaptive cruise control, and a three-panel sunroof. An available Luxury Package on the 4.2 and TDI includes ventilated front seats. The optional S line Package includes steering-wheel shift paddles, unique trim, and can be equipped with 20- or 21-inch wheels.
