Sport, meet utility
The 2020 Audi SQ7 features a 4.0 TFSI V8 engine, capable of generating up to 500 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque.
The twin-turbocharged midsize SUV routes power via an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, sending power to all four wheels via Audi's quattro all-wheel drive.
S-tuned adaptive air suspension electronically controls the vehicle's adaptive dampers, automatically regulating vehicle dynamics and enhancing ride quality.
Standard All-wheel steering turns the front and rear wheels in opposite directions at low speeds to reduce the SUV's turning circle and enhance maneuverability and turns both axles the same direction at highway speeds for greater stability and comfort.
The available Sport Package offers Active roll stabilization, quattro with sport differential and red brake calipers. Using the vehicle's 48V electrical system, Active roll stabilization controls body roll during cornering. This enhances handling and agility of the SQ7, inspiring confidence in spirited driving. The quattro sport differential offers an enhanced cornering agility by actively splitting torque between each of the rear wheels, with the ability to direct nearly all torque to one wheel.
S-specific design
The exterior of the SQ7 stands out with its sporty design elements including S-model bumpers with integrated front splitter, platinum double-slat Singleframe grille and Alu-optic exterior side mirror housings. At the rear, the SQ7 features S-specific quad tailpipes and a rear diffuser inlay.
