Audi is proud to present a world first – the first twelve-cylinder diesel engine in a series passenger car. This six-liter V12 makes its debut in the Audi Q7. It produces a colossal 500 hp and 738 ft.-lbs. of torque. With this engine Audi has opened a new chapter in diesel history.
The 2012 Q7 is a full-size (and high-end) luxury-sport crossover SUV with standard third row seating and Quattro all-wheel-drive. It’s available with your choice of two gas V-6 engines (both supercharged) or a turbocharged, direct-injected diesel (TDI) V-6.Prices start at $46,250 for the standard model with 3.0 liter gas V-6, automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel-drive. The TDI diesel (also with automatic and Qutattro) starts at $51,450. An S-line version of the Q7 with a more powerful supercharged gas V-6 is also available. Its base price is $59,950.
WHAT’S NEW FOR Audi Q7 2012 Model:
The formerly optional 4.2 liter, 350 hp gas V-8 has been dropped from the lineup. In its place is a more fuel-efficient (and almost as powerful) 333 hp supercharged 3 liter gas V-6. Base models get a toned-down version (272 hp) of the supercharged 3 liter V-6. The optional 3 liter TDI diesel – and both gas engines – now come standard with a new eight-speed automatic transmission that boosts economy and performance.
