Audi Q7

The Q7 is Audi's first ever SUV offering. The large crossover provides seating for seven and rides on Volkswagen's 7L platform. The design is based on the Audi's Pikes Peak quattro concept car, and mechanically the Q7 is similar to both the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.

The Q7 can be ordered with three different engines, and three different trim levels.

The base Q7 engine features a 280 horsepower 3.6-liter V6, coupled with a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and quattro AWD that returns 14 mpg city, and 20 mpg highway on premium fuel. The V6 takes 8.2 seconds to sprint from a dead stop to 60 mph.

In terms of price, the next engine option is a 3.0-liter, 225 horsepower, 406 pound-feet of torque V6 turbo-diesel, or TDI as Audi calls it. The TDI offering will demand an extra $4,000 and will boost fuel efficiency to 17 mpg city, and 25 mpg highway while using the same 6-speed Tiptronic automatic and quattro AWD as the other two engines. The TDI comes in just slower than the 3.6-liter V6 with an 8.5 second 0-60 time.

The top engine offering for the Q7 comes in the form of a 4.2-liter V8 quattro - pumping out an impressive 350 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque through an all-wheel drive system. The 4.2 V8 will travel 13 miles in the city, and 18 on the highway per gallon of premium unleaded fuel. The 4.2 is the quickest engine of the three - going from 0-60 in just 7.0 seconds. This engine comes standard with the Prestige package configuration, and is not available in either Premium or Premium Plus trim levels.

The 4.2 V8 Q7 also comes with all of the equipment on the V6 Premium, and adds or replaces it with unique features such as 20-inch wheels, a Bose-tuned surround sound system and a standard navigation system. Options not available on the V6-powered Q7s include adaptive cruise control and self-leveling air suspension.

The Q7 Premium trim level features Audi's Advanced Multi Media Interface system, a parking system with reverse camera and an upgraded audio system with Sirius satellite radio in place of the standard six-disc in-dash, eight-speaker set-up. To distinguish the two from the outside, the Premium also gets more brightwork, including chromed roof rails.

The Premium commands $5,850 more than the base model. Both V6 models ride on 18-inch wheels with an integrated tire-pressure monitoring system, though 19-, 20- or 21-inch wheel and tire packages are optional. Other big-ticket options include a Bang & Olufsen sound system, a three-panel sunroof, luxury seating for six, a navigation system and a few packages that involve bigger wheels, more leather and / or an off-road-oriented body kit.

On the safety front, the three SUVs come with ABS and EBD-enhanced four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and Audi's Electronic Stabilization Program. Regardless of engine choice, the behemoths are limited to 130 mph top speeds. The Prestige trim comes standard with upgraded brakes for maximum stopping power.

Maximum towing capacity for the V6 model is 5,500 pounds, with the TDI and V8 both managing 6,600 pound burdens.
