2013 Audi Q7 TDI: The power of diesel - The Car Guide

More than a year after announcing they were coming out with a diesel version of the Q7, Audi Canada has finally put it on the market. The exterior boasts all the same aesthetic qualities that have made this SUV such a success. As usual, what catches your eye the most is Audi's trademark rectangular grille; the Q7's smooth contours run all the way from the grille to the back of the vehicle, making for a more refined look. Whether we're talking about the diesel or the gas engine, this vehicle is certainly sturdy and impressive, but at the same time, somewhat bulky.

That being said, we don't feel that it deserves to be labeled as one of those mammoth vehicles you see on the road that are unpleasant to drive and unable to handle curves at high speeds. We've said from the beginning that this SUV has very good handling, because it's been proven to us time and time again. Take it out on a windy road and you'll find out for yourself how well it handles the road.

We recently had the chance to get behind the wheel of a North American TDI model, just to see if we got the same impressions as the one registered when we drove the European version.

What about the diesel engine?

Both the Q7 V6 and V8 have taken prime spots on the market thanks as much to their consistency as their performance. But what interests us more right now is its 3.0L V6 diesel engine with 221hp and 406 lb.-ft. torque, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. As you might expect with a model designed to handle any kind of road conditions, the Quattro 4WD system is up to the task.

The most interesting thing about the Q7 has to be the diesel turbo engine, which posted an average fuel consumption of around 2.2gal/62mi despite driving without trying to save fuel on the highway as well as in the city. But it's not only the fuel consumption that's impressive. This engine demonstrates great accelerations: it can do 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. The high torque of this TDI V6 engine is very noticeable at low speeds and is the secret to why it's such a pleasure to drive.

Once you're on the road, the Q7 proves to be a comfortable vehicle with smooth handling, which is all the more enjoyable when you remember that its fuel consumption is that of a much smaller crossover. We took several people with us when we test drove the Q7, and all of them pointed out how comfortable and spacious the interior was, as well as how smooth and quiet the drive was. The suspension, neither too soft nor too firm, makes for a smooth ride without any jerks or jolts.

KBB Review
"The 2013 Q7 has a performance-minded rear bias in its all-wheel drive (40:60 torque split front-to-rear), but there's no escaping the effect of its size on handling crispness. Steering is..." Read more ...
