2010 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI Premium quattro

The Audi Q7 is a full-size luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by German automaker Audi since its unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2006.

In its name Q7, the ''Q'' denotes a new family of vehicles for Audi, and the designation ''7'' marks its placement between the A6 and A8 in Audi's model range.

The Q7 utilizes a modified version of the Volkswagen Group 7L platform, the 4L. Based on the Audi Pikes Peak quattro concept car, the Q7 is designed more for on-road use, and was not meant for serious off-road use where a transfer case is needed, but in an offroad test through the Australian Out-Back it fared well for a ''soft roader''. Although it lacks a low-range transfer case, it has quattro permanent four wheel drive system with a central differential lock, and an adjustable-height air suspension which helps in offroad situations. Audi South Africa runs a very tough offroad course with the Q7 where it actually proves itself a better off-roader than most would give it credit for.
