Updated Audi Q7 model line-up in South Africa
Locally, the Ingolstadt-based brand’s Q7 portfolio comprises a duo of 55 TFSI quattro derivatives, the Platinum Edition and Black Edition, with the SQ7 penned in to make landfall on local shores in January 2025.
The 55 TFSI-badged variants employ a 3.0-litre V6. The turbocharged petrol unit churns out 250 kW and 500 N.m of torque, the latter of which is available from a mere 1 350 r/min to 4 500 r/min. Power is sent to all four corners via the company’s eight-speed Tiptronic transmisison. Audi claims the 3.0-litre powertrain sips, on average, 9.9 L/100 km. The 55 TFSI dispatches the obligatory 0-100 km/h sprint in a claimed 5.6 seconds, before topping out at an electronically governed maximum speed of 250 km/h.
Spearheading the model line-up, the SQ7 is equipped with a 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine. The twin-turbocharged unit produces a healthy 373 kW and 770 N.m of torque, which, the automaker says, is good for a 0-100 km/h sprint time of “just” 4.1 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.
How much does the updated Audi Q7 cost in South Africa?
The updated Q7 is priced from R1 958 000 for the 55 TFSI quattro Platinum Edition derivative, with the version equipped with the firm’s Black Edition package having a sticker price of R1 987 900. (Pricing for the SQ7 will be announced closer to its market launch at the start of next year.) As standard, all models ship with a one-year/unlimited km warranty and a maintenance plan spanning five years or 100 000 km.
