2026 Audi Q7: Engine
The new-generation Audi Q7 will be offered with options of diesel and petrol twin-turbo V6 engines, along with an option of a V8 engine with the SQ7. As anticipated, the Audi Q7 is based on Volkswagen’s Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) engine. The 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine can generate a peak power and torque output of 429hp and 599 hp, whereas the 3-litre mild hybrid diesel TDI can churn out up to 299 hp and 630 Nm of torque. It is worth noting that the brand will offer the diesel engine in select markets. With the option of a petrol mill, the 2026 Q7 can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. Moreover, the V6 TDI engine is paired with a hybrid engine, and it can run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), which means that the new-gen Q7 will emit up to 95 per cent less CO2 emissions than a regular diesel engine. The Q7 also comes equipped with a quattro All-wheel drive configuration.
