Task faced by a team of engineers and designers, Audi Q7, was not easy. They had to create something that fully integrates the traditions and tastes buyers America, Europe and Asia. New car had an obligation to absorb all the positive pre-existing models, classmates, cut off their shortcomings, while preserving the charisma of cars Audi. Otherwise, why the concern had paused and refrained from decades release SUV? Freedom of the lines look Q7 in a good way far from the typical American chemodanopodobnyh SUVs. Externally, Audi is not so modest and laconic, like the BMW X5 and VW Touareg, its main competitors. Mercedes ML in the front, perhaps in terms of yield Q7 sport and aggression, but the Porsche Cayenne - on the contrary. The fastest off-roader, though seems less daunting, but there is no trace of heaviness and authoritarianism Q7. In addition, if viewed from the side, looking over the back of the roof of our experimental reminiscent of similar family in a typical Mercedes R-class. A hint of geographic priorities for future sales? So, Audi Q7 and made it to Russia once was in the hands of "MKmobilya." The test is over, SUV owners returned. Everything seems fine, the car liked. But it's tempting after letting something in the spirit of the depressive "alchemy" Marquez, text to wrap a veil of madness and hopeless loneliness. Or maybe the image is generated by the Q7 "magical realism" full-grown Columbian? Over the ocean, any full-size SUV on the level of equipment must be like the space shuttle NASA. Q7 is no exception. In addition, it should be noted utilitarian family line the new SUV is ridiculous sticking out of the vicious aggressive appearance. In its seven-seat version of the Q7 looks like a bottomless repository of children, luggage, drinks and fast food. We counted at least six inside the cup holders (not sure they found everything) and two "mine" for polutoralitrovyh bottles. Ideally, such experiments with the inner space of a serious auto unacceptable. However, overseas family theme demanded. Do not spoil the impression, even sticking out from under the second row seats slide, painfully reminiscent of "Zhigulevskoe" runners. "Greetings from America" ??is perceived and rustic merry kovrolinchik. And even he can not cast a shadow on the overall perception of an enthusiastic welcome from the new «Audi» over $ 100 000. We got to test the petrol version Q7 c 350-horsepower 4.2 FSI, for which the dealers are asking from $ 107 673. Diesel version of an SUV with 3-liter turbocharged unit is significantly cheaper (about $ 77, 000), but the range of equipment provided to him more humble. In the "base" he was deprived of a number of options, and most importantly, air suspension with five settings. Thus, the molds in stolitrovy benzinchika tank. To begin with five hundred rubles. All advertising Audi Q7 riddled urban theme. So, we thought, urban slums wait. For the tests should be chosen on the environment. On the way, mastering the intricate local "elektronavoroty" jumping on the Moscow Ring Road a half-empty. And so it began ... Maybe someone and say that the Audi Q7 sluggish on the run, can not be controlled at high speed, turns and tumbles in a long time "thinks" the sudden you press the gas. Do not believe - all this nonsense from beginning to end. Q7 is not so. He flexible, attentive, ready for you and capable of almost everything. And it's demanding of ourselves and our neighbors on the track, hungry for fuel and high speeds. Unsuited low avtonedorazumeniya flee before him like a flock of fry, fleeing from a hungry walleye. Moreover, countless "chins» Q7, capped by a predatory xenon forced to give way to nervous and even confident in your own car drivers. Our Q7 absorbed most of the proposed options. Lacked only an opening glass roof. And therefore to study a package of electronic and other equipment took a long time. The situation is somewhat simplified by the fact that the front panel, configure devices, and the whole interior is arranged in a match Q7 Audi A6. Is that the handbrake (e-mail from sedans) here, by a fair weight of the car (2240 ??kg), received a treadle. To understand how fast the Q7 the most comfortable, very difficult. He is good at any dynamics. Adjustable air suspension Adaptive Air Suspension - professional trimmer to driving conditions. For her, you can choose a suitable occasion mode: «Comfort», «Offroad» and «Dynamic» (here the distance to the ground, reduced to a minimum 180 mm). There are still regimes «Lift» and «Automatic». The former can climb on the border - a maximum clearance of 240 mm makes it possible. In automatic mode the suspension will itself put up the car and adjust the pneumatic stiffness depending on the situation. After 100 miles on the asphalt of the massive climate system vents into the cabin again crept blurry images Marquez. There is a feeling of uncontrolled flow of time. Wide open funnel stories, which lost all mortal, material. In the case of the Q7 it is not only about the 98th gasoline. Always want to "naddat" machine provokes action. Typical Audi quattro, though SUV. Stay in the same row more than 20 seconds - a hell of torture. Perestavka, dash, brake sharply to the right, a few pages back ... Behind the back of dissolved miles, traffic police posts, a liter of gasoline, and mass audiences with open mouths with delight. Fingers secretly strive to move from the owner of the selector lever 6 Tiptronic transmission range-right - to manual control. And this despite the fact that the automatic mode «Sport» already able to stimulate the adrenal glands to release more adrenalin. Nothing distracts from driving - fit is comfortable, an overview of the maximum, and the rear space scanning system Audi Side Assist light indication on the mirror warns of approaching from behind. The mark of 140 km / h speedometer needle jumps already in third gear. On the tach at the moment about 6700 rev / min. Go to the fourth - and second "hundred" change at the same speed. Further accelerate the pace is fading, and to reach the stated "maximum speed" - 248 km / h for the 4.2 FSI versions with air suspension - is not easy. We have goals. Snow fell in the quarries. The earth dries up. Ice - delight the fisherman the kamikaze - preserved only in the water. On the test Q7 in winter will probably wait. Perhaps it's for the better since connecting system which will keep ESP stabilization is not desirable, caring it ad nauseam. Under a single button in the Q7 are hidden all the latest achievement of the global automotive industry. ESP brings together a team of electronic "guardian angels": traction system ASR, block differ EDS, a system to reduce the unfolding moment GMA and there is something else. In quarries electronics honestly tried to help on steep slopes, maintaining a constant speed, trying to prevent a slowdown overkil "right" wheels. If not mistaken, so interferes Stability enhancement RSP. No claim to original system, quattro. Let the Q7 is less compact (good place in the belly of an SUV is enough) and structurally solved differently than in other Audi, but its job copes. Torque between the axles divides Torsen limited-slip differential of the last generation. In normal mode, 60% of the power necessary to the rear axle, and the rest - on the front. In the case of slip differential redirects moment on the axle, the wheels that have better contact with the road. Frankly speaking, the possibility of Audi Q7, «shod" in the city's summer tires for rugged off-road sand is not impressed. However, given we did not expect: the manufacturer is not averse to the Q7 career in the rally "Paris-Dakar." In general, the lack of asphalt under the wheels is not much complicate the lives of the driver. Just think about the next gas station will have even more. Last spoonful of tar. All flavors of Q7, which I so enthusiastically described, may fade when you ask for on-board computer for average fuel consumption. Dap-Dap? A passport says 13.6 ... Okay, will do a discount on the excitement of the first acquaintance, we shall consider the abuse the gas pedal on the track and so on ... Arithmetic mean of 25 liters per 100 kilometers - robbery of clean water. In addition, the quarries in harmless in general situation, we managed to wrest from the crankcase protection Q7 - caught a bit of sand. Surprisingly, where even the "Lada" tightly screwed powerful protective piece of iron, the Germans limited sleek plastic "bryzgovichkom." A tiny screws, which he was strapped to the front bumper, apparently perished in the "markesovskoy" funnel ...
