Performance and efficiencyThe TFSI® engines of the Audi Q7
By combining supercharging with petrol direct injection, the TFSI engines of the Audi Q7 realise superior potential: more performance and dynamism from less fuel.
TFSITFSIAudi was the first manufacturer in the world to combine petrol direct injection with turbocharging in large-scale car productionTFSI technology is being employed for the first time in the Audi Q7. This combines belt-driven supercharging of the engine with petrol direct injection. On both 3.0 TFSI engines, a compressor provides for top-class performance characteristics with high torque at low engine speeds. The results are extremely spontaneous response and exceptional power flow across the entire rev range. When combined with FSIFSIGetting more out of every drop of petrol.FSI technology, this produces quite outstanding fuel economy and performance figures.
The Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI (200 kW/272 bhp) quattro sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, and the Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI (245 kW/333 bhp) completes the same discipline in just 6.9 seconds. The TFSI engines of the Audi Q7 are notable for their outstanding efficiency as well as their performance. As well as energy recovery, which comes as standard on all six and eight-cylinder engines, the 8-speed tiptronictiptronicGearshifts with the minimum interruption in power flow – the six-speed tiptronic transmission unites automatic shifting comfort and outstanding driveability.tiptronic that delivers improved efficiency and superior driving comfort also helps to keep fuel consumption low with low-rev driving and swift gear changes.
