Drivetrain

Audi SQ7 TDI

The new eight-speed tiptronic is highly efficient. It changes gears extremely quickly and efficiently. An rpm-adaptive torsion damper balances out undesired engine vibrations to enable efficient driving at particularly low engine speeds.

The driver of the SQ7 TDI can have the new eight-speed tiptronic operate in automatic modes D and S or himself intervene by tapping on the elegant, flat-shaped selector lever on the console of the center tunnel or by using the standard-equipped paddles on the steering wheel. In both cases the commands are transmitted electrically – by wire – to the transmission.

The management of the eight-speed tiptronic uses the data provided by the optional MMI navigation plus to compute the best shift strategy on each section of the route. In cooperation with the optional predictive efficiency assistant and the adaptive cruise control, it switches to coasting if this will save fuel. One of the clutch mechanisms then opens at the wheel sets. This automatic coasting at idle can be experienced over a broad speed range between 160 km/h (99.4 mph) and roughly 50 km/h (31.1 mph).

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
