2019 Q7 Nothing worthwhile was achieved by thinking small. The Audi Q7 is our idea of thinking big. Engineered on the Audi principles of innovation, performance and design sophistication, the Q7 off ers the full-size utility of three-row seating and cargo fl exibility. With seating for seven, driver and passengers are treated to leather seating surfaces, intuitive ergonomics and advanced infotainment. Powerful engines and renowned quattro® all-wheel drive traction give you the motivation to make progress on a grand scale. 2019 Audi Q7 Prestige shown in Samurai Gray metallic with available equipment. A wide powerband helps narrow the gap. They won’t say you lack ambition with the available 3.0-liter TFSI® engine in the Audi Q7. Supercharged air plays a leading role in helping the engine generate 329 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque for a 0–60 time of 5.7 seconds. Its high-power output also helps give the six- cylinder Q7 a class-leading towing capacity of 7,700 pounds.¹ And with standard quattro® all-wheel drive, that power is put to good use. 2019 Audi Q7 Prestige shown in Samurai Gray metallic with available equipment. 1 Maximum tow rating when properly equipped with towing accessories. Vehicle load, other accessories and options may reduce maximum towing capacity. See vehicle Owner’s Manual for details. Torque is what helps you move from a stop, which is why the 2.0-liter TFSI® four-cylinder engine features a quick-spooling turbocharger that helps it create 248 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque through a wide RPM range. A four-valve, DOHC design and Audi valvelift system help optimize airflow into the combustion chambers, and two intercoolers help to reduce the temperature of the air it breathes. Working in tandem with an eight-speed Tiptronic® trans- mission, the Audi Q7 with it’s four-cylinder engine can turn a gap into a position up-front. 2019 Audi Q7 Premium Plus shown in Galaxy Blue metallic with available equipment. Luxury is having room to spare. In addition to standard quattro® all-wheel drive and seating for seven, the Audi Q7 Premium is equipped with a host of other standard features to help you make the most out of all the room. Comfort comes easy from leather seating surfaces, with the driver and front passenger treated to heated eight-way power-adjustable seats. And a panoramic sunroof with tilt, slide and power sunshade that can open up new vistas. Standard MMI® Navigation plus is there to guide your way, and Audi smartphone interface can help you stay connected to your contacts, messages and music.³ In the Q7, luxury takes on new dimensions. 2019 Audi Q7 Premium shown in Samurai Gray metallic with available equipment. 2019 Audi Q7 Premium shown with Nougat Brown leather and available equipment. 3 See Interior Inlays page for important information regarding MMI® Navigation plus. Stature is as much psychological as it is physical. The muscular design lines give the Audi Q7 a full-size presence. And its rigid chassis of aluminum and high-strength steel impart a feeling of substance. In the Audi Q7 Premium Plus, the list of standard features becomes more substantial. They include full LED headlights, the innovative Audi virtual cockpit digital display and the expanded fidelity of the BOSE® 3D Surround Sound System. It won’t take long for you to realize that it’s not just the elevated ride height that makes you feel like you’re standing tall. 2019 Audi Q7 Premium Plus shown in Samurai Gray metallic with Nougat Brown leather and available equipment. Take a stand on your convictions from the seat of progress. The Audi Q7 Prestige appeals to those who desire a higher level of features, from additional driver assistance systems such as Audi adaptive cruise control with Traffic Jam assist to a head-up display relaying speed and navigation information.¹ The interior is trimmed with Gray Oak wood lower inlays for natural texture, while the Ambient LED interior lighting plus package allows you to color the environment to suit your mood.

    Condition Technical Background Production Solution

    69 Front seat belt twisted 69 20 47 2058455/1 February 6, 2020. Model(s) Year VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment A6, A7, A8, Q8, and 2019 - 2020 All Not Applicable Audi e-tron quattro Condition Customer states: One or both front seat belts are twisted. Workshop findings: The seat belt webbing was pulled through the deflector of the seat belt height adjuster while twisted. The twisting of the seat belt webbing is predominantly caused by the "seat belt park function" featured in the reversible seat belt tensioners. Technical Background When exiting the vehicle, the seat belt can slightly twist when unbuckled. This twist can move up to the deflector of the seat belt height adjuster when the seat belt retracts. If the “seat belt park function” then occurs, this twist can be pulled past the seat belt deflector resulting in a completely twisted seat belt. Production Solution The implementation of modified seat belt deflector guides for A6, A7, A8, and Audi e-tron quattro during production is in the planning stages. The modified seat belts were implemented in Q8 production starting in December of 2019. Page 1 of 8 © 2020 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Der Crashtest-Ära Bei Audi

    Der Crashtest-Ära Bei Audi

    04.12.2013 12:04 CET Vor 75 Jahren: Start der Crashtest-Ära bei Audi • Audi zählt zu den sichersten Marken im Wettbewerb • Euro NCAP-prämierte aktive Sicherheitssysteme im Audi A3 Sicherheit hat bei Audi eine lange Tradition: Vor 75 Jahren ließen Ingenieure von DKW erstmals den Kleinwagen F7 im Dienste der Sicherheit einen Hang hinunterrollen und brachten ihn dabei gezielt zum Überschlag. Seit diesem ersten Crashversuch bei DKW, einer der vier Vorgänger-Marken von Audi, macht die Marke mit den Vier Ringen regelmäßig mit neuen Sicherheitsfeatures auf sich aufmerksam. Ende 1938 rollte der DKW-Kleinwagen F7 in Golm bei Potsdam einen Berg hinunter. Mit Hilfe einer Rampe brachten die Ingenieure den Wagen zum Überschlag, als Beweis der Sicherheit und Stabilität des Autos. Vor den Augen staunender Zuschauer und einer Kamera überschlug sich der Kleinwagen mehrmals, bevor er mit laufendem Motor und nahezu unbeschädigter Karosserie liegenblieb. Dieses Ereignis markierte den Beginn der Crashtests bei Audi und weiterer Innovationen im Bereich der Automobilsicherheit. Zu den Meilensteinen zählt unter anderem das Entwickeln von Knautschzonen, um das Verletzungsrisiko für Fahrer und Passagiere zu reduzieren. Ein NSU Prinz von 1958 zum Beispiel konnte bereits einen guten Teil der Energie eines Frontaufpralls in der Knautschzone absorbieren. Ab Ende der 1960er Jahre, bei der Entwicklung des NSU Ro 80 und des ersten Audi 100 kamen erstmals Dummys zur Analyse der Auswirkungen eines Unfalls auf den Menschen zum Einsatz. Um die Crashergebnisse noch besser reproduzierbar zu machen, weihte Audi in Ingolstadt bereits 1970 die erste Crashhalle ein. Sie ist, mehrfach modifiziert, noch heute im Einsatz. Nach und nach gab es immer exaktere Messergebnisse und die Kameratechnik hielt Einzug in die Crashforschung.
