Audi is presenting the SQ7 and the SQ8 with new TFSI engines.

The brand is thus responding to the worldwide trend toward sporty gasoline engines in the high-performance SUV segment.

In terms of their suspension, the Audi SQ7 TFSI2 and the Audi SQ8 TFSI3 offer many high-tech components, and new connectivity and assist functions round off the technology package.

The large S models will be launched on the European markets successively, starting in the fall of 2020.

373 kW (507 PS) and 770 Nm (567.9 lb-ft) of torque that is constantly available from 2,000 to 4,000 rpm: The 4.0 TFSI has an easy job with the Audi SQ7 and the Audi SQ8.

The twin-turbo V8 accelerates both models from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.1 seconds, and it takes just 3.8 seconds to sprint from 80 to 120 km/h (49.7–74.6 mph).

The electronics limit the propulsion at 250 km/h (155.3 mph).

Depending on the equipment, the SQ7 TFSI consumes between 12.1 and 12.0 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (19.4–19.6 US mpg), which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 278 to 276 grams per kilometer (447.4–444.2 g/mi).
