The Audi Q7 e-tron will soon be a familiar sight on UK roads, albeit often without a familiar sound as it travels in near silence for up to 34 miles under electric power alone.
The premium plug-in hybrid will play a starring role on the Audi stand at this month’s Geneva Motor Show.
Pricing for the German market has just been confirmed ready for ordering to commence in March. The UK will follow suit in May, with pricing set to start in the region of £65,000 OTR.
Combining a powerful V6 TDI engine with a 94kW electric motor and quattro all-wheel-drive, the Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro sets standards with 373bhp of system power and 516lb/ft of system torque.
It accelerates from a standing start to 62mph in 6.2 seconds and returns up to 156.9mpg based on NEDC test results. Its lithium-ion battery can be charged from the socket and stores 17.3 kWh. With its electric range of up to 34 miles, the SUV delivers compromise-free everyday mobility.
