Q7 specifications. The first generation of the Audi Q7. Options and prices

Audi Q7, 2016

Operated about 25 cars: Nissan (Pathfinder and Terrano), Suzuki Grand Vitara, Mitsubishi Galant ( good car I really liked her.) From the "Germans" BMW 520, then sat on the "Japanese" - Landkuser Prado 150, Camry. I chose for a long time - I was looking for a diesel. I really liked the BMW X5, the new Volvo X90 had a lot of stuffing, but the engine seemed rather weak and noisy (maybe because of the rubber). Volkswagen Tuareg did not seem externally and internally, the Mercedes GLE is a bit expensive, but when I sat down in the Audi Q7, I realized it was mine. Very frisky, comfortable fit, good visibility, plus made a good discount and free of charge the first two maintenance services. While the first runs are small. It has been 12 days and 420 km of pleasant driving - consumption in the city is 12-16 liters. On the Moscow Ring Road, when free, 7-8 liters, installed on the car winter tires Nokian Nordman RS (Velcro) - time-tested, good, quiet tires, put mudguards - bought in an online store in Naberezhnye Chelny for 4500 r with delivery to Balashikha 4 days, installation in the Audi Center 8800 rubles. A small jamb jumped out - the hood opening handle flew off, the latch flew off, but it was next to the service, and they put it there. Of all the variety of cars I have had, the Audi Q7 has by far the most high flow oils. They say in the service that at first it will be like this. But there is something troubling. But driving is a pleasure.

Advantages : frisky. Excellent visibility. Comfort.

disadvantages : oil consumption.

Audi Q7, 2016

Before the Audi Q7, he owned a Lexus RX 350. So, the Business Line package, 7 seats, 3 liter TDI, 249 hp according to TCP. The headlights of my car are LED - they look decent, forming an interesting modern look for the front end, the half-turn front is also super. Noise isolation Audi Q7 on top, no worse and no better than the Lexus. But the diesel is still audible while you are standing and the music is not turned on, plus there is also a subtle vibration. It accelerates well, but the size and heavy weight of the car is felt (the Lexus accelerated no worse). It steers well, especially in the "speaker" mode - the steering wheel becomes heavier, the car drops to, if I'm not mistaken, 16-17 cm and behaves very confidently at high speed. The song is simple. But, as it seemed to me, in a traffic jam, in a “torn mode”, well, when you release the gas pedal, sometimes it slows down a lot. Even a small “besieging” jerk is felt, as if braking is taking place, hence a noticeable twitch and it begins to strain. But sometimes it seems not so annoying, you have to get used to it. In general, you need to press the gas, unlike on a Lexus, the pedal is “heavy”, the same applies to the smoothness of the ride - the Lexus is smoother and much more comfortable in a traffic jam (you just “stroke” the gas pedal and slide easily). But, of course, it is inferior in handling to the Audi Q7 at speed, because. The Lexus is very rolly and turns the steering wheel first and then the car follows it. In general, the further, the more I like the Audi Q7 in terms of handling and dynamics, I “rake it up” little by little. Acceleration is confident at any speed, it did not accelerate to the maximum, but 165 went confidently, it was not scary. The downside is that when kicking down from a standing position, there is a delay before the car “jumps” forward. At least that's how it is in comfort mode. This was not the case with Lexus. In serious impassability did not meddle and will not. On a primer with potholes, he turned on the off-road mode - up to 30 km per hour maximum height (235 it seems). Haven't used cruise control yet. Cruise, despite the absence of a traffic jam assistant, is too complicated for me: you can set the speed limit and something else, but is it necessary? I haven’t ridden in the back yet and I haven’t driven far from the household. But there is plenty of space in the back, there is heating for two rear seats and climate for each passenger.

Advantages : see above.

disadvantages : see above.

Audi Q7, 2015

I liked the Audi Q7 more than all the competitors under consideration: excellent handling (cornering stability is better than on most competitors), it is possible to take options that others do not have or come as a package. And the overall feeling of the car is very pleasant. I took a car in St. Petersburg - it’s cheaper there (there are more discounts), there was the necessary equipment with a panorama that fits into the allotted budget. In addition, additional options also got, although not too necessary: ​​a night vision camera, an electric towbar, a parking lot with all-round cameras. Cars in the s-line configuration and in addition to the package and the options listed above, there are navi and an electronic instrument panel. Since I chose the Audi Q7 from availability, I had to sacrifice some options: door closers (I will definitely install it), a 4-zone climate with heated rear seats, a blind spot sensor (used to Jaguar and Q3). I would also take a thruster rear suspension. But I didn’t find a car in such a configuration, but I didn’t want to wait for a custom one or overpay for some other unnecessary options. I was surprised at the lack of a start-stop system: I thought that they were installed by default on European cars for several years. In St. Petersburg, I immediately changed the car's shoes: a regular 285/45 R20 costs from 27 thousand rubles. for a tire. The rubber that I wanted - from 33 tr. And it's not from the dealer. I took half the price of a non-studded Continental 275/45 R20 - the size that was on the previous model. Now the mileage is about 5000 km - no problems. When traveling from St. Petersburg to Krasnodar, with a stop in V. Novgorod, the consumption was 10.3 liters. per 100 km at an average speed of 106 km/h per 1800 km. During the entire trip, the police stopped a car without license plates only once. There were no breakdowns or problems.

Advantages : manageability. Options. Engine. Comfort.

disadvantages : not found yet.

Audi Q7, 2016

The machine is not unambiguous, but definitely one of the most advanced specimens among classmates. Of the advantages of the Audi Q7 - finishing materials and leather on the panel, doors akin to Porsche, Alcantara on the ceiling, door closers and other luxury, and electronic assistants even excessive. Massages, blows and connection with space and the next step of the pedestrian through thought. Really convenient wi-fi in the car. Closing and opening the trunk with your foot - works every other time. When he works empty-handed, with a box in his hands he pretends that you are just performing ballet "Pas". Of the minuses of the Audi Q7, again, the excessive overload of the digital screen and the complex MMI logic. Another rather sharp side edge is a flattened wide steering wheel. For long distances, the hands begin to “cut”. In general, the car is certainly good, solid and jumped higher than its rivals in quality

Advantages : modern. Beautiful. Comfortable.

disadvantages : price.

Rostislav, Moscow

The Audi Q7 is an all-wheel drive luxury SUV in the full-size segment that boasts a presentable appearance, a modern and luxurious interior with a five- or seven-seater layout, a high level of comfort and safety, as well as a good “off-road potential” (adjusted for class) ... target audience The car is formed by self-sufficient people (both men and women) of middle age with a large annual income, who either run their own business or hold high positions in the public service ...

The second generation of the full-size crossover was presented to the world community in January 2015 as part of the international North American auto show in Detroit - compared to its predecessor, the five-door became more solid outside and inside, slightly reduced in size, while receiving more spacious salon, moved to a new modular "trolley", dropping over three centners of excess weight, and generally improved in all areas.

Four years after entering the market - at the end of June 2019 - the Germans, during an online presentation, declassified the restyled Audi Q7, which not only noticeably updated its appearance, fitting it to the current style Audi models, but also properly “shaken up” the content. The crossover was separated by a completely redesigned interior with three displays, a “soft” hybrid superstructure for all engines (but not for Russia), electromechanical stabilizers and new options.

Exterior

Appearance Audi Q7 2020 model year boasts an attractive, modern, harmonious and noble, but at the same time at least not heavy-weight appearance, devoid of contradictory decisions.

Moderately aggressive “physiognomy” of the SUV is crowned with menacingly frowning LED headlights, an octagonal radiator grille with widely spaced vertical fins and a “fanged” bumper, and its monumental stern flaunts elegant lights interconnected by a chrome molding, a huge trunk lid and a “chubby” bumper with a pair of trapezoidal exhaust pipes.

In profile, the car has an impressive, balanced and rather dynamic silhouette - a long hood, a sloping roof line, embossed wheel arches, side mirrors "on legs" and expressive sidewalls.

Size and weight

The second “release” of the Audi Q7 is a representative of the full-size segment with the corresponding dimensions: it has a length of 5063 mm, of which the center distance “extends” to 2994 mm, a width of 1970 mm, and a height of 1741 mm. With a spring suspension, the ground clearance of the crossover is 210 mm, and with pneumatic suspension it varies from 145 to 235 mm.

In running order, the car weighs from 2045 to 2090 kg, depending on the modification.

Salon interior

Inside, the second-generation restyled Audi Q7 greets its occupants with a beautiful, technologically advanced and noble design, supported by well-thought-out ergonomics, high-quality finishing materials and a premium level of performance.

There are practically no physical keys on the front panel, and three color displays adorn it at once: a 12.3-inch virtual instrument cluster is located in front of the driver, and on the central panel there is a 10.1-inch upper touchscreen, which controls the entertainment and navigation systems, and a lower 8.6 -inch screen that manages the microclimate and comfort (heating, ventilation and massage functions of the chairs).

By default, the interior of a full-size SUV has a five-seat layout, but as an option, it can be equipped with a third row of seats that can accommodate even two adults without obvious discomfort or embarrassment (though only on short trips).

In front of the cabin, ergonomic chairs with a well-defined side profile, dense filler and a huge number of various settings are mounted.

On the second row there is a moderately hospitable sofa with adjustments in the longitudinal direction and in the angle of the backrest and all the necessary amenities (armrest, cup holders, ventilation deflectors), but the floor tunnel is too high.

In the arsenal of the second-generation Audi Q7, there is an ideally shaped trunk with a volume of 865 liters (however, when installing the “gallery”, it shrinks to 309 liters). The second row of seats is folded in three sections in a ratio of "40:20:40", which allows you to increase the capacity of the cargo compartment to 2050 liters, while getting a completely flat area.

In a niche under the raised floor, a deflated "stowaway" and the necessary tools are neatly stacked.

Specifications

On Russian market restyled Audi Q7 is offered in one modification - 45 TDI, under the hood of which lies a 3.0-liter V-shaped six-cylinder diesel engine with an aluminum block and cylinder head, turbocharging, Common Rail battery injection and a 24-valve timing, generating 249 Horse power at 2910-4500 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 1500-2910 rpm.

The engine is combined with a classic 8-speed automatic transmission and quattro permanent all-wheel drive with a self-locking differential integrated into the gearbox housing. Under normal conditions, the thrust is distributed between the axles in the ratio "40:60", however, up to 70% of the moment can be transmitted forward, and up to 85% backward.

Such a car accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, and its maximum capacity does not exceed 225 km/h. In the combined driving mode, the five-door requires at least 6.3 liters of fuel for every “hundred” run.

It is worth noting that the “pre-reform” crossover, in addition to the aforementioned diesel version, is also available in Russia in two petrol versions: 45 TFSI with a 2.0-liter “four” (252 hp and 370 Nm) and 55 TFSI with a V6 engine on 3.0 liters (333 hp and 440 Nm).

At the same time, in Europe, the premium SUV of the 2020 model year is offered in three versions, each of which differs in a “mild” hybrid makeweight with a starter-alternator powered by a 48-volt network and a separate lithium-ion battery. As for the options themselves, these are: 45 TDI (231 hp), 50 TDI (286 hp), 55 TFSI (340 hp).

Design features

At the heart of the Audi Q7 second incarnation is the modular architecture of the second generation MLB with a longitudinal arrangement of the power plant. The carrier frame of the crossover is 41% made of aluminum (all external panels are also made of it), and another 12% is made of ultra-high-strength steels.

The car is equipped with independent suspensions - double-lever front and multi-link rear, but in the "base" - with conventional springs, and as an option - with adjustable pneumatic struts. In addition, the five-door can be equipped (for a surcharge) with electromechanical anti-roll bars.

As standard, the premium SUV is equipped with electric power steering and variable rack tooth pitch, but on request it is offered with a fully steerable chassis with active front steering and thruster (it turns the rear wheels up to one and a half degrees in the same direction as the front wheels, and up to five - in the opposite direction). On all wheels of the "German" there are ventilated disc brakes, complemented by various electronic systems.

Options and prices

The restyled Audi Q7 of the second generation will appear on the Russian market only in the first quarter of 2020 (closer to that moment, its cost will be announced), while in Germany it is already on sale at a price of 66,900 euros (~4.7 million rubles).

As for the "pre-reform" car, it can be purchased in our country for at least 3,995,000 rubles - that's how much they ask for a 2.0-liter version of 45 TFSI. At the same time, the diesel version of the 45 TDI will cost from 4,570,000 rubles, and the 333-horsepower version of the 55 TFSI - from 4,750,000 rubles.

The list of options includes an equally rich range: four-zone climate control, sports seats, a panoramic roof, leather interior, interior trim with inserts of various colors and textures, a 7" LCD monitor, heated rear seats, electric front seats, an additional third row of seats. Second The Audi Q7 range folds in a 40/20/40 ratio for more functionality, which increases functionality.In the seven-seat version, the boot has a volume of 330 liters, in the five-seat version - 775 liters, which easily increase to an impressive 2035 liters with the rear rows folded down.

Initially, the Audi Q7 provided for several options for 3.0-liter, 3.6-liter and 4.2-liter gasoline engines ranging from 280 to 350 hp. and no less variety of diesel power plants- with a volume of 3.0 liters, 4.2 liters and 6.0 liters with a capacity from 230 to 493 hp. The latter has a V12 Twin Turbo design and has a very high torque of 1000 Nm. The basic versions of the Q7, which were produced after restyling, can have a 3.6-liter V6 FSI gasoline engine with a capacity of 276 hp under the hood. or a 3.0-litre high-torque turbocharged V6 TDI diesel with 266 hp. More powerful versions are equipped with 4.2-liter V8 engines: gasoline FSI (345 hp) and turbocharged diesel (340 hp), as well as the above-mentioned V12 Twin Turbo.

The chassis of the Audi Q7 is made up of numerous aluminum components to ensure an almost perfect axle load distribution. Chassis with independent all-wheel suspension with double wishbones front and rear, in combination with adaptive air suspension provides sports driving and high comfort even off-road. The ability to change the clearance (from 180 to 240 mm) has its advantages not only off-road, but even in an ordinary situation - the car can “sit down” for ease of loading. Just like the Audi RS4, the car is equipped with the latest generation Torsen differential, with a standard 40:60 axle ratio. The standard car has 18-inch alloy wheels, which could be replaced by 19- or 20-inch ones.

The equipment of the Audi Q7 includes a complete set of restraint systems (8 pillows, seat belts with pretensioners, child restraints) and a rich set of active safety systems. The standard system of dynamic roll stabilization reduces the buildup around the longitudinal axis. Additional equipment offers an equally rich package of advanced driver assistance systems: adaptive cruise control, Audi Lane Assist lane control, Audi Side Assist blind spot monitoring, Audi parking system.

Despite its size, the Audi Q7 is interesting from a driver's standpoint. It is characterized by high efficiency and steering precision, the ability to clearly and accurately enter turns without unnecessary steering. And of course, it is important to mention powerful engines, and the modification of the Audi Q7 V12 TDI Quattro allowed this crossover to become the most powerful diesel SUV in the world at that time. The rich equipment and decoration of the Q7 is rather an addition to the characteristics of the car itself. Confirmation of interest in the model is the fact that used cars are used on secondary market fairly high demand.

Audi Q7 is a car that represents the world-famous German concern in the SUV segment. The Audi Q7 is a successful combination of sporting character and versatility, cutting-edge technology and executive class luxury.

The driver will conquer driving performance and dynamics sports car. The brainchild of the creators of the legendary all-wheel drive quattro on any road and in any conditions is as reliable as possible.

The Audi Q7 sets new trends. The car was specially designed as the largest European jeep. The dimensions are impressive: length - 5086 (more than the Hummer H2), width - 1983, height - 1737 mm. The base is no less impressive - 3002 mm. Its sweeping lines, the smooth curve of the roof, the protruding surfaces of the body, which, in contrast to the flat windows, create a perfect harmony of sportiness and luxury.

Swift curves of front and rear overhang lines, powerful rear ribs with heavily inclined struts create a powerful and memorable silhouette. The Auto Union-style grille rests on a powerful but graceful bumper. With the shape of the headlights, they decided not to be wiser - they are extremely concise and at the same time very effective. The fried stern is crowned with the already branded wing-like rear lights. And the front bumper is continued in powerful stampings around the perimeter of the body and impressive wheel arches.

Driving advantages are provided by independent all-wheel suspension with double wishbones, providing high off-road capabilities. Standard elastic elements are springs. And as an option, an adaptive air suspension with electronic system changes in the characteristics of shock absorbers. Ground clearance Q7 can vary between 180-240mm. When you turn on the off-road mode, it sets the ground clearance to 205 mm. And it also has a function of adjusting the loading height. ESP (fitted as standard) has gained several new features: Hill Descent Assist and Trailer Stability Assist. For an additional fee, you can choose Audi system Side Assist with radar control of lane change maneuvers and advanced parking sensors with light and sound alarms and a rear view camera.

Despite its size, the Q7 is capable of racing at the speed of a sports car. The amazing dynamism of this giant is striking, and this does not affect the degree of passage of difficult sections of the road. The car behaves well both on the highway and on deep off-road.

Dimensional SUV Audi Q7 is beautiful not only outside, but also inside.

Standard equipment includes the innovative MMI operating system, well known to motorists from the A6 and A8 models. The powerful SUV is equipped with a variety of driver assistance systems, which are being introduced into series production for the first time.

The huge trunk closes and opens with a button - you will never get dirty again. The electronic owner recognition system will allow you to open the doors and start the engine without removing the key from your pocket.

The Q7 is literally crammed with options, but that's what gives the driver endless options. You can relax, delegate authority, and the car will do everything by itself: shift gears, keep cruising speed that is convenient for you, turn on and off the light, wipe the glass with the wipers, turn off the music during a call mobile phone, monitor the distance to neighboring cars when changing lanes in heavy traffic, yell heart-rendingly with parking sensors when parking, and even control the dividing line.

The electronic adjustment of the driver's seat has a memory for the preferences of two drivers.

For passengers - other pleasures. According to the creators, the Q7 implements a new approach to the transformation of the cabin: the car allows you to create at least 28 options for seats and loading space. Three rows of seats can accommodate up to seven people.

Armchairs of the second row have independent longitudinal adjustment. The second and third rows of seats can be folded down luggage compartment with a flat floor, capable of holding 2035 liters (there is no need to remove the seats). In the five-seat version, the Q7 trunk volume is 775 liters.

Under the hood is a large, powerful and nimble 4.2-liter V8 petrol engine with 350 hp. There is also the so-called economical turbocharged diesel version: V6 engine, three liters, 233 horses. The engine is paired with a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with manual shifting and paddles on the steering wheel.

The Audi Q7 comes standard with a 25-year-old Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. Latest generation Torsen center differential in "standard" road conditions distributes torque between the front and rear axles in a ratio of 40:60.

Audi Q7 lasted three years unchanged. In 2009, a restyled version of the model was presented at the Shanghai Motor Show. The car received new bumpers, a radiator grille with a chrome-plated "fence", updated LED optics. From the side, the restyled Q7 can be distinguished only by slightly modified thresholds. Four were added to the previous body colors, including a fashionable brown metallic.

The interior has changed little: there are additional options finishes, LED backlighting, the instrument panel received a larger display. Also, the updated Q7 has a three-spoke steering wheel and an abundance of chrome in the interior trim.

We also worked on the line of engines. Emphasis was placed on economy and ecology. So, the petrol 3.6 FSI moderated appetites due to the new recovery system. Its meaning is that when braking, the excess energy generated by the motor is taken by the battery. And then - during overclocking - the battery gives energy back. As a result, the load on the generator is reduced and the car needs less fuel. Diesel 3.0 TDI "environmental" modernization also did not pass. Unit received new system injection and exhaust aftertreatment. The engineers also reduced the consumption of diesel fuel - by 0.2 liters for every 100 kilometers (up to 9.1). The 4.2 TDI turbodiesel has been given more power, up by 14 hp. up to 340 hp The crown of the powertrain line is the 500-hp 6-liter V12, which appeared on the Q7 in 2008. It accelerates the car from standstill to hundreds in just 5.5 seconds. The gearbox is a six-speed automatic, no options.

Of the innovations, it is also worth noting the carbon-ceramic brake discs mounted at the request of the client with a diameter of 420 mm at the front and 370 at the rear. But you can put such powerful brakes only on versions with a V8 and V12 engine. There are some other interesting things among the new options, for example, a warning system for crossing a continuous lane, adaptive cruise control, which allows you to maintain a distance from the vehicle in front at speeds from 30 to 200 km / h, as well as a new Bang & Olufsen audio system with 14 speakers.

What crossover can you buy for 1 million rubles? Renault Kaptur, Hyundai Creta, Duster - this is an incomplete list of modern budget SUVs. But for those who want a premium SUV for a fraction of the price, look no further than the 2006 Audi Q7. This is the first generation of luxury full-size SUVs. What is the Audi Q7? Specifications and review of the German crossover - further in our article.

Design

Despite 10 years ago, the design of this crossover is very modern. At the front is Audi's signature wide grille and lensed head optics. A strip is neatly hidden in the bumper slot running lights. Below are the foglights. Audi Q7 2006 features massive wheel arches and wheels of impressive size. wide windshield provides excellent visibility for the driver.

As noted by the reviews, Audi Q7 2006 still attracts the eyes of passers-by. With this machine, you can stand out from the crowd. The car has an immodest design. But in the event of an accident, the cost of repairing one part can reach hundreds of thousands of rubles - the body is aluminum, and it is very difficult to get into color (especially if it is metallic silver).

Dimensions, ground clearance

Crossover "Audi KU7" is simply striking in its large size. Body length is 5.1 meters, width - 1.99 meters, height - 1.74. Ground clearance is one of the main achievements of this car, according to reviews. A 24-centimeter clearance is enough for the crossover to move confidently not only on the dirt road, but also off-road. In addition - Quattro all-wheel drive, which significantly expands the off-road capabilities of this car.

We also note that some versions of the Audi KU7 were equipped with it. It allows you to change the clearance in the range from 18 to 24 centimeters on the go. However, now many instances have a faulty suspension. Pneuma can spontaneously descend, especially in winter - note the reviews. In order not to poison the cylinders, it is recommended to thoroughly wash off the dirt from them and treat them with silicone.

Salon

Audi Q7 2006 has a presentable interior. The front seats are equipped with a wide range of electric adjustments. The steering wheel is also adjustable in different positions. On the center console is a multimedia screen and powerful air ducts.

Below is a branded CD radio and climate control unit. Between the front seats is a wide armrest with a cup holder. "Beard" (continuation of the center console) is at the level of the driver's knees. It would seem that this significantly hides the salon space. But there is enough free space in the Audi Q7 2006 with a margin - reviews say. Finishing materials - leather, alcantara. ABS plastic (very durable and pleasant to the touch). Also in the cabin there are wooden and aluminum inserts (sometimes carbon). They can be of different tones, depending on the configuration.

The high seating position provides good visibility inside. Mirrors are quite massive and informative. Reviews note that Q7 2006 has good ergonomics - all controls are at an accessible distance. Depending on the configuration, the crossover came in five- and seven-seater versions. In the latter case, the presence of a third row of seats in the trunk area was assumed. However, these seats lack the lateral and lumbar support of the rest and are more suitable for children.

Trunk

Its volume in the seven-seat version is 330 liters.

Five-seater "Audi" is designed for 775 liters of luggage. Well, with the second row folded, the volume could increase to 2 thousand liters.

Audi Q7: specifications

In the Russian market, this car was offered with two diesel and two gasoline engines. Let's start with the latter. The base is a six-cylinder V-shaped unit with 272 horsepower. Engine capacity - exactly 3 liters. With him, "Audi" could accelerate to hundreds in 7.9 seconds. Fuel consumption varied between 9-15 liters. The maximum speed was limited to 225 kilometers per hour.

The flagship in the gasoline line was the three-liter TFSI unit with 333 horsepower. This engine accelerated a 2.3-ton SUV to hundreds in 6.9 seconds. The maximum speed is 245 kilometers per hour. Remarkably, the fuel consumption of this engine is the same as in the case of a 272-horsepower unit.

Now let's move on to the diesel line. The most common modification of the Audi Q7 2006 is the 3.0 TDI. This is a six-cylinder turbocharged engine, thanks to which the power was 245 horsepower. This power unit notable for the fact that traction is available almost from "idle". So, acceleration to hundreds takes 7.8 seconds. AND maximum speed- 215 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the unit is very economical, unlike the "gasoline" - reviews say. So, for 100 kilometers, the Audi TDI spends from 6.7 to 8.6 liters of fuel.

Second diesel unit- 4.2 TDI. This is already an eight-cylinder engine that developed 340 horsepower. With him, "Audi" accelerated to hundreds in 6.4 seconds. And the maximum speed was 242 kilometers per hour (and this despite the fact that the weight of the crossover in this equipment is almost two and a half tons). Fuel consumption - from 8 to 13 liters per hundred, depending on driving style and operating mode. All of the above units were equipped with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. It can also work in manual mode.
