Quattro at seven

Outset: optional, third row of seats, as well as a pair of separate "captain's chairs" in the second row, put the Audi Q7 for a fee. Everything else (well, almost everything) that the buyer might wish, is standard news. We only note that the last statement more true for the Audi Q7 4.2 FSI, for which dealers are asking from $ 107 673. Audi Q7 is equipped with three-liter turbodiesel more modest. In the "base" had no air suspension, leather seats and other options, but the price significantly lower from $ 76 965. And even if the "stuff" like turbo gasoline version, still the difference in price is about $ 10 000.Nesmotrya to unequal forces - 233 liters. with. v. 350, overclocked to 100 km / h "diesel" loses "gasoline" less than two seconds affects high-torque 3.0 TDI, developed by almost from idle. True, the turbodiesel is noisy, but it appears mostly at high speeds. Petrol engine sounds different: even with heavy acceleration it does not produce unpleasant noise effects, and the driver's mellifluous "thoroughbred" timbre. But all this comes a price: a week-long audition "beautiful voice» V8 will cost about as much as a pair of tickets to the Audi Q7 operu.U record low for a car of this class drag coefficient of the body and good insulation, so that even at speeds close to maximal SUV in the cabin is quiet enough. By the way, "the maximum speed» Q7 depends on the air suspension is worth it or not: at high speeds "pneumatics" automatically reduces the clearance, thereby improving streamlining the body. Audi Q7 3.0 TDI with optional air suspension is able to develop on the motorway 216 km / h, and without it - 210. The difference is small, but worth considering that when the car is pressed to the road, down its center of gravity, and it has a positive effect on handling. "Pneumatics" also allows you to increase ground clearance. Climbing in the system menu and selecting the MMI mode Offroad, you will add to the standard 180mm ground clearance an additional 25 mm. In this mode, ordered to move no faster than 100 km / h, but if you develop more speed, nothing bad will happen, simply return the standard automatic settings the suspension. If you need to overcome some high hurdles, for example a border, select the mode of Lift, and ground clearance increased to a maximum of 240 mm. Owners turbodiesel Q7 with spring suspension deprived of this possibility: the ground clearance is always 200 mm.V contrast to the "pneumatic" all-wheel drive quattro is standard equipment on all versions Q7. Torque between the axles divided limited-slip differential Torsen, as the Audi RS4 last generation. In normal mode, 40% of torque falls on the front axle, 60% - on the back (this distribution is optimal in terms of drivability). In the case of slip center differential torque throws on the axis, the wheels that have better contact with dorogoy.V complex traffic situations the driver assistance system Audi Q7 have to maintain exchange rate stability latest generation ESP with the regime Offroad, ASR traction control and electronic differential lock system with EDS decrease of the unfolding moment GMA. Off-road electronics helps overcome the steep slopes, maintaining a constant speed and allowing the driver concentrate on driving. If you are maneuvering a threat of overturning Stability enhancement RSP align position of the car, podtormazhivaya kolesa.Sredi electronic "Wash» Audi Q7, there are so curious of how adaptive cruise control ACC and the "assistant" change lanes ASA, watching a zone the side and behind the car (up to 50 meters) at speeds above 60 km / h. If the driver is ready to make the maneuver and turned on the turn indicator, and in sight of ASA appeared approaching vehicle, the system will warn of the danger: you hear a squeal, and in the outer rear-view mirror will flash a light signal. "Eyes" of adaptive cruise control - the radar with a range of 180 feet, hidden under the license plate. This system is able to maintain a safe distance from the car in front at speeds from 0 to 200 km / h. In the ACC for the first time realized the function of warning about the threat of a collision if the vehicle in front is too close, the system gives the driver the sound and light signals. If this was not followed by any reaction, electronics trigger short braking, to "shake" zazevavshegosya driver. True ACC radar operates on the "forbidden" frequencies in Russia (they are used by the military), so this system can not be ordered from the "'officials'. The only way to become the owner of Audi Q7 with adaptive cruise control - to drive a car from abroad. + Roomy interior, excellent dynamics, rich equipment .- The third row of seats designed for passenger growth up to 160 cm
