Shanghai, 19 April 2015: The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro marks the first time that Audi has combined a TFSI plug-in hybrid with quattro all-wheel drive. Audi developed it specially for Asian markets (China, Singapore and Japan). It is sporty, comfortable and at the same time supremely efficient. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in under six seconds while consuming just 2.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (94.1 US mpg) according to the measurement method specified in China for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV).
Audi is presenting the Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro at Auto Shanghai. According to the measurement method specified in China for PHEVs, the large SUV can cover up to 53 kilometers (32.9 mi) solely on the electricity stored in its lithium-ion battery – quietly, powerfully and with zero local emissions. Total range is 1,020 kilometers (633.8 mi). The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro will be available beginning in 2016.
The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro has sporty power. Its 2.0 TFSI and electric motor deliver 270 kW (367 hp) and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of system torque – enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 5.9 seconds and for a top speed of 220 km/h (136.7 mph).
The standard consumption of 2.5 liters of fuel (94.1 US mpg) corresponds to CO2 emissions of less than 60 grams per kilometer (96.6 g/mi) and is a new best value in the segment.
The standard thermal management system with integrated heat pump has been specially developed for the plug-in hybrids of the Q7 family*. Audi is the first manufacturer worldwide to market this technology, enabling the brand to establish a new benchmark with respect to electric range, interior comfort and air-conditioning system efficiency.
270 kW (367 hp) system output and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) system torque: The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro has been specially designed for Asian markets (China, Singapore and Japan) and sets new standards using plug-in hybrid technology and quattro all-wheel drive. The large SUV accelerates like a sports car from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 5.9 seconds, but consumes no more than 2.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (94.1 US mpg) according the measurement method specified in China for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) – a best value in its class.
