10 years ago at the Frankfurt Auto Show, Audi showcase the biggest SUV on the European market. Considered at the time, much to please the public, Audi Q7 quickly showed that is what some like to call "trend-setter". With the release of the current version, completely renewed, the premium division of Volkswagen Group has proved that the slogan "Progress through Technology" fully reflect reality. The new Q7 has a more powerful and aggressive design with straight lines and angles denoting masculinity and the idea of ​​a luxury cabin translates into comfort, good taste and simplicity. Command post reserved for driver is served by a variety of command and control systems without filling ergonomically placed buttons and indicator board useless. It is true that many of the details are in the past on board appeared on the center console next to the gear box-like lever grip plane.

   The tested model, equipped with V6 TDI 3.0 liri developing 272 hp coupled to an automatic transmission with eight gears, it turned over more than 400 km of riding both on the highway and the roads twisty mountain - more or less paved - that Audi engineers have managed to turn a true ocean liner of the road in a vehicle dynamic and very easy to drive. Aided by a lot of electronic equipment, car strikes by force and ability to overcome obstacles displaying the safety of disarming corners. Compared with the previous version, it is easier with about 300 kg and it shows or, more precisely, feels, especially when trying to go to the limits. Only in times of heavy braking suddenly become aware that the driver is aboard an SUV exceeding two tons.

    Returning to the idea of ​​road liner, well, that's even Q7. And we are not only the external dimensions, but also inland. Depending on the customer, it can carry five or seven people with luggage related without sacrificing comfort. The two seats "in the trunk" can be folded or removed from the floor by a push of a button, in which case the remaining space for luggage is 295 liters more than that of an Opel Corsa or Ford Fiesta. Do not imagine, however, that the two occupants of the third row of seats can be part of a basketball team. Despite the second row can slide forward a few centimeters, the space remains limited.

    About the already famous MMI system fitted to Audi makes no sense to talk. Simplicity and functionality are already a myth. One idea could not be interesting to engineers Audi is warning that shows you the time in which you should take your foot off the accelerator so as to usher in a village or in an area with speed traps to get the optimal speed without press brake. Intriguing at first, this fully proves its usefulness detail when mixed consumption. The manufacturer says the car should consume about 5.7 l / 100 km. We have not managed to get less than 9.1 l / 100 km, normal value for a vehicle this size. With the emergence of a new range of 218 hp 3.0 TDI engine, the Audi Q7 prices start at 60,314 euros.
