With its powerful yet refined V8, Audi's flagship Q7 sets a new performance benchmark in the luxury SUV class.
Since it was launched 13 months ago, the Audi Q7 has proved that bigger is still better when it comes to 4x4s. More than 88,000 have rolled off the production line so far.
To drive the success story on even further, Audi has now given it the most powerful diesel on the market. The 4.2-litre V8 has 326bhp and 760Nm, and propels the two-and-a-half-ton Q7 from 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds.
On the road, this performance is made all the more incredible by the car's superb refinement. The whole experience is improved further by our test car's optional Bang & Olufsen audio system. The digital set-up sounds great, and has speakers that rise out of the dash when it's switched on. The downside is that it is likely to add around £4,000 to the Q7's price tag.
