couldn't find my old thread, sorry
Our spies caught up with a virtually undisguised Audi Q7 out testing on public German roads. This large 'crossover' car will go head to head with competitors such as the new Range Rover Sport, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class. While the Q7 shares some of its underpinnings with the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne, its wheelbase is stretched by nearly six inches, which gives it a more rakish profile, as well as allowing space for seven seats.
Journalists at Audiworld.com were given an early look at the Q7, and report that the dash and centre console are nearly identical to that in the A6. Also, middle row access is said to be good thanks to wide opening rear doors, with good rear legroom. And while the middle row can slide forward to make more room for the rearmost row, which will have the option of electric folding, Audiworld reports that only children will find the space adequate. There will be a range of petrol and diesel engines from launch, including Audi's excellent 3.2 FSI petrol V6. There are also strong rumours that the Q7 will be offered with the sensational V10 TDi that does duty in the VW Touareg and Phaeton. The Q7 is likely to be built at Audi's Bratislava production facilities alongside the Touareg and Cayenne.
