Audi takes things to next level with world’s most powerful diesel SUV

With 435 bhp of power and 900 Nm of torque, thanks in part to a 48V electric powered Audi turbo compressor, it accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds, making the Audi SQ7 the strongest in its segment. Using an average 7.2 litres of fuel per 100km, this equates to 190g of CO2 per km, resulting in road tax of €750 a year.

Audi says the 4.0 TDI of the new SQ7 TDI has been redeveloped from the ground up. It combines best-in-class performance with low consumption. An electric-powered compressor (EPC) makes its first ever appearance in a production vehicle. This device supports the work of the two turbochargers in the new Audi SQ7 TDI especially at lower revs, assuring agile starting performance. The result is dynamism without any hint of turbo lag.
