2011 Audi Q7 TDI Review

Audi Q7 Audi is the big sport for the individualist - the performance SUV sports, leisure, family and business associates. Now Audi has made it even more powerful and effective, with a choice of three new V6 engine and an 8-speed Tiptronic box.

 

Engines: a new series

Even more power, even greater efficiency: Audi has revised range of engines for the Q7. The two petrol engines, both V6 units, but with different powers, new, and is the second generation of the V6 TDI. A powerful V8 diesel engine completes the range. All engines in the Audi Q7 combines two technologies: forced induction and direct injection of fuel. A high-performance recovery recovers energy during braking is also standard with all engines of six and eight cylinders.

The new 3.0 TFSI petrol engine embodies the strategy of downsizing Audi to replace the volume of the engine supercharging. Within the 90-degree angle formed by the cylinder block is a motor-driven compressor that compresses the intake air. Two heat exchangers charge air cooler to avoid temperature increases, the engine uses more oxygen in the combustion process. Pile robust and spontaneous acceleration to make the 3.0 TFSI engine with its notes sound an ideal source of energy for the big performance SUV from Audi.

Two versions of Compressor V6 is available. The basic version develops 200 kW (272 hp) and maximum torque of 400 Nm (295.02 pounds feet) over a wide range of engine speed of 2250 rpm to 4750. It accelerates the Audi Q7 with 7.9 seconds from a standing start to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) and reaches a top speed of 222 km / h (137.94 mph) or 225 km / h (139 , 81 mph) with adaptive air suspension.

The stronger version of the 3 .0 TFSI delivers 245 kW (333 hp) and torque of 440 Nm (324.53 pounds ft) between 2900 and 5300 rpm. 100 km / h (62.14 mph) is reached in 6.9 seconds, with strong growth before continued until 243 km / h (150.99 mph) is reached, with the adaptive air suspension for the top speed is 245 km / h (152, 24 mph). Both versions of the 3.0 TFSI is remarkably efficient: fuel consumption in the EU test cycle, they are happy with 10.7 liters per 100 kilometers (21.98 mpg U.S.). Compared with previous engines, the 3.6 and 4.2 FSI FSI, fuel consumption is reduced by 1.4 and 2.0 l/100 km - 12 and 16 percent respectively.

The second generation of the 3.0 TDI, a new development that has virtually nothing in common with its predecessor - except a lot of power! It is rated at 176 kW (240 hp) and a constant 550 Nm (405.66 pounds ft) of torque all the way from 1750 to 2500 rpm. This V6 diesel Audi Q7 accelerates from zero to a typical main road speed 100 km / h (62.1 mph) in 7.9 seconds and reaches its top speed of 215 km / h (133.59 mph) or with air suspension adaptive, 218 km / h (135.46 mph). Its fuel consumption is remarkably low, averaging 7.4 liters per 100 km (31.79 mpg U.S.), the equivalent CO2 emissions of 195 grams per kilometer (313.82 g / mile). This is an improvement of 1.7 l/100 km or 19 percent.

The last 3.0 TDI engine weighs much less than before: 198 kg (436.52 pounds), a decrease of 20 kg (44.09 pounds). The new chain-driven timing and complexity of the cylinder wall is a process of internal friction. The new turbo is extremely sensitive, which was reflected in a rapid buildup of torque. Common rail system has been in recent years, further development: is the maximum pressure of 2000 bar, and can then be injected fuel spray pattern is very precise.

 

Carter heads the new 3.0 TDI with the cooling water circuits connected by separate valves. During the heating phase and when the load is not high, the coolant is not circulated in the engine block. It saves energy and increases the oil more quickly to its normal operating temperature. The new start-stop system shuts the engine when the Audi Q7 comes to a halt.

Audi also offers its customers a second version of the V6 TDI, 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel. It already meets the exhaust emission limits Euro 6 states that does not take effect until 2014, and the strict regulations of the United States. Sensors in the combustion chambers, a fuel injection pump common with an outlet pressure of 2,000 bar and a recirculation of exhaust gas to maintain high performance exhaust emissions to a minimum deal. DeNOx catalytic converter in the exhaust system reduces nitrogen oxides remaining through an addendum. The 3.0 TDI clean diesel is also developing 176 kW (240 hp) and has an impressive 550 Nm (405.66 lbs ft) of torque between 2,000 and 2,250 rpm. Take the Audi Q7 a stop to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 8.1 seconds and gives a top speed of 215 km / h (133.59 mph) or 218 km / h (135.46 mph) with adaptive air suspension . Its average consumption is 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers (28.00 U.S. mpg).

Audi Q7 4.2 TDI has also had its fuel consumption is reduced dramatically - by 9.9 (23.76 U.S. MPG) to 9.2 liters per 100 km (25.57 mpg U.S.) - by installing an injection system 2000 bars and minimize internal friction. But at the same time diesel V8, with its stable production of 250 kW (340 hp) delivers more torque than before. It now offers a powerful 800 nm (£ 590.05 ft.) between the speeds of 1750 and 2750 rpm. The TDI engine gives great figures Audi Q7 performance worthy of a sports car. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 242 km / h (150.37 mph).

Transmission: Eight-speed is standard

Audi has given every six and eight cylinder versions of the Audi Q7 a new automatic transmission. The eight-speed tiptronic reduces fuel consumption by about five percent. It is based on the six-speed unit, but with an added friction clutch change. The ability to switch between eight relations keeps the engine is broken, the engine still running near its ideal operating point. All gear changes are the most rapid, flexible and very good immediately.

From 7.25 to 1, the overall prevalence of the eight-speed tiptronic relationship is unusually wide. In the lower ratios Audi Q7 accelerates, and a greater share of it rolls along efficiently at low speeds.

To further reduce fuel consumption, torque converter lockup clutch eliminates slip even at low revs. Any engine vibration that may occur as a result is suppressed by the new shock in the torque converter until almost all traces can be detected.

Drivers can choose between the S and programs - or make your own changes to the speed selector lever on the transmission or optional paddle changes. In combination with the 3.0 TDI in the new eight-speed tiptronic reached an exceptionally high level of efficiency. Its cooler oil is heated after a cold start by the hot coolant engine cooling system. Electric oil pump allows operation of the Audi Q7 start-stop system is possible, maintaining the oil pressure in the hydraulic system when the engine stops and closes the clutch to restart.

 

Eight-speed tiptronic transfer the engine power is quattro permanent four-wheel drive. In this way sport to share power, with 40 percent goes to the front and 60 percent of the rear wheels, but some on-and off-road situations, the difference between the mechanical center of action can address up to 65 percent of power in the face or up to 85 percent behind.

The four-cylinder engine combines direct injection with turbocharging - typical of the Audi philosophy of downsizing, which replaces the induction of forced displacement. Audi valvelift system (AVS) further increases the power, torque and efficiency, changing the exhaust valve race between two phases according to the load and rpm.

The 2.0 TFSI has been redesigned in some respects, for use in the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid. The training of auxiliary unit has been abandoned, and the crankshaft bearing and tuning of the turbocharger are adapted to specific requirements.

A system of secondary air to the cylinder head ensures that the treatment of exhaust gases in the courts very quickly. Integrated into the engine control unit, the manager monitors the change effective hybrid and a smooth transition between operating modes, and has been developed entirely by Audi only.

Optimal interaction between the combustion engine and electric engine results briefly outside the system peak of 180 kW (245 hp) and maximum torque of 480 nm system (354.03 lbs-ft).

Powertrain

Highly modified eight-speed Tiptronic transmission is power without the aid of a torque converter. His place is taken by the electric motor in a disk, combined with the operation of the multi-plate clutch in oil bath - it engages and disengages the electric motor and the TFSI. Uncoupler innovative works with great precision, quickly and easily in any situation.

Very nice and fast hybrid gears in motion contributes significantly to the efficiency of the Audi Q5 hybrid four - eight gears are far apart. When the 2.0 TFSI has been turned off, electric pump to maintain hydraulic oil pressure to ensure a comfortable start-stop function.

Power electronics and electric motor

Power electronics, connected to the battery and electric motor power lines, is in the full engine compartment. In the form of a pulse-controlled inverter, power electronics is used between the battery controller, published in Washington, DC, and the electric motor, powered by alternating current.

Innovative technologies to maintain the volume and weight of low-power electronics, with cooling provided by a separate low temperature circuit filled with water. The component includes a DC / DC converter that couples the electrical consumers in the electrical system 12 V high voltage network.

Permanent magnet synchronous machine is an electric motor, starter, and - during deceleration - as a generator. Produces up to 40 kW (54 hp) and 210 Nm (154.89 lb ft) of torque. The electric motor is integrated in the cooling circuit of the engine.

Battery

A system of lithium-ion battery, which weighs only 36.7 kg (80.91 pounds), is used to store energy for the hybrid electric motor quattro Audi Q5. The compact unit with 26 liters (6.87 liters) is located in an area of ​​crash safety in the cargo floor, with hardly any intrusion into the cargo area. The battery consists of 72 cells. A 266 volts, nominal power is 1.3 kWh and its output of 39 kilowatts.

Lithium ion is cooled by air in two ways, as needed. Low temperature load, it pulls the air in spite of hardened fan. If the temperature exceeds a certain limit, a separate coolant circuit is activated. E 'connected to the main condition of the vehicle and using a separate steam generator.

This active cooling quattro Audi Q5 distinguishes solid hybrid of many hybrid vehicles, and is an essential contribution to the high availability of the hybrid electric system.

U.S.

Commission's parallel hybrid system, the Audi Q5 hybrid can travel four to five different modes of operation. Guide internal combustion engine alone, the ESA alone or in hybrid mode, it is possible, as well as recovery and expansion.

When it stops, for example, before or at a red light, the two sources of the unit are disabled. In this practice, how to start and stop the temperature control system remains active. Once the driver releases the brake, the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro starts rolling.

The driver can switch between the three programs using a button on the center console or gear selector. EV characteristic short prioritize the electric drive of the city, the D-mode control two motors for optimal consumption, and S-mode portal and touch tiptronic is designed for sporty driving style.

When the driver accelerates strongly combustion engine functions as an energy source to drive. The electric motor is then activated by an operating strategy to achieve maximum efficiency and consumption. The rapid acceleration, or "force", the electric motor works with TFSI, with plenty of fuel in the S mode and overall system performance of 180 kW (245 hp) maps are available. The hybrid propulsion with its 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) of torque while providing the propulsion of a large naturally aspirated engine, but with much greater efficiency.

When the driver releases the accelerator, the electric motor acts as a generator and recovers energy. In most situations, the TFSI is then decoupled from the transmission system so as not to cause loss of traction. The power recovered by the electric motor, stopping here and is buffered to the lithium-ion batteries. If the driver brakes a little, the electric motor provides the slowdown in other more aggressive braking, the hydraulic brake system is activated simultaneously. The reinforcement is also powered by an electric pump vacuum. A complex rule-based strategy can be adapted to the driving brake and the recovery of electrical energy.

The highly efficient 2.0 TFSI is working with the electric motor to combine the performance of a six-cylinder fuel for a four-cylinder. Sprint 100 km / h (62.14 mph) takes just 7.1 seconds. The maximum speed is 225 km / h (139.81 mph). Audi Q5 Hybrid quattro is also extremely efficient, consuming only 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 km (34.09 U.S. mpg) in the NEDC standard, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 159 g / km (255.89 g / mile).

If operated by the intelligent control system or master at a constant speed of 60 km / h (37.28 mph), Audi Q5 hybrid drive quattro on three kilometers (1.86 miles) on electricity alone, which means a local zero emissions. This value is not the only point of reference defined in the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid. The top speed of 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in pure electric mode is unmatched by the competition.

Chassis

Audi Q5 quattro hybrid uses its power to the road via quattro permanent four-wheel drive system motor. The improved traction, the dynamics of road safety and directional stability it provides are proverbial Audi "Vorsprung durch Technik".

Audi Q5 Hybrid quattro sport model in the hybrid SUV segment - redefines the reference frame. It combines precision and dynamism with a high degree of stability and comfort. The suspension mountings, steering, wheels and brakes have been developed for maximum performance and wide use of aluminum reduces unsprung weight to a minimum.

Five-link front suspension, with a lot of track 1625 mm (63.98 in), is a big factor in the dynamic character of the Audi Q5 hybrid four. Because the development engineers moved forward the difference between the transmission and the clutch further back, the tree can be placed away from the front. This configuration allows excellent weight distribution front and rear.

Lightweight aluminum - a material whose use of the Audi has an unparalleled level of experience - is used in many areas. For example, the largest and most complex component platform, engine and axle front subframe is aluminum. Rigidly bolted to the frame forward, is part of the body, and its high stiffness immediately transmits steering forces.

Lightweight construction: aluminum links

Aluminum is also used in the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid bearing assembly that connects the upper suspension arms control with the body and the pivot bearing. The front suspension consists of five links per wheel - one supporting link and one control arm down and arms control at the top. The fifth part is the rod that connects the steering with electro pivot bearing.

All suspension control arms are forged aluminum parts, ensuring low unsprung weight and location of the wheel extremely accurate. The stabilizer bar is made of high strength pipe, a design that also saves weight.

The five-link front suspension handles longitudinal and lateral forces separately when the car is moving. In the lateral direction, the bearings are stiff, increasing the accuracy and sports high-speed cornering.

Longitudinally, however, have an elastic, soft answer, which combines the dynamism of the sports sedan and the comfort of a full-size car.

The rear axle of the Audi Quattro Q5 hybrid, with its track of 1,620 mm (63.78 inches), is inspired by the self-tracking trapezoidal-link rear suspension configuration lines A8 and A6 model. It combines excellent handling and ride comfort in a compact package. The Audi Q5 hybrid quattro offers great benefits for sport and leisure: the lip and floor loading are low and the ground is flat.

The unsprung masses have been re-minimized in the rear. The two trapezoidal links are pieces of hot aluminum cured carriers are cast aluminum wheels to relax. The upper transverse links and track rods are aluminum forgings. The stabilizer bar, designed as a tube as the front axle, also combines low weight with high rigidity.

Separate springs and shock absorbers

The springs are supported directly on the wheel carriers - an event that has increased ride comfort to luxury car level and improve the dynamics of the standard way for a sports sedan. The separate springs and dampers also improve the response, the special rubber formulations in the axle mounts to improve the comfort increase. The new rear suspension kinematics keep brake dive tightly controlled, and thereby add to the sporty car, the dynamic call.

Worthy of a sports sedan: the pilot

A unit is the electromechanical steering system with a small motor to generate electricity. The system operates with high efficiency, and non-energy consumption in the straights. This low energy consumption efficiency improvement quattro Audi Q5 hybrid of 0.2 liters per 100 km.

The Audi Q5 comes standard quattro hybrid with Servotronic. Configured as a power steering with speed-dependent, requiring little effort from the driver to maneuver into a parking space with servo driven high. At higher speeds to cut back the level of momentum for an answer very quiet on the road.

The range of wheels also underline the dynamic character of the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid. Audi sells new hybrid SUV equipped with alloy wheels style in two important dimensions - 19 to 20 inches. Measuring 19 inches and shod with 235/55 tires, even the standard wheels, a lightweight cast wheels, suggests the powerful performance of the Audi Q5 quattro hybrid hybrid disc. Audi offers winter tires of 17 inches and 20 inches.

Large, powerful brakes

The large wheels brakes quattro Audi Q5 hybrid are easily hidden brake until the tasks they may face. The four discs - measuring 345 millimeters (13.58 inches) in diameter at the front and 330 millimeters (12.99 inches) at the rear - are evacuated.

The high performance brake pads to achieve high coefficients of friction and stability are only slightly sensitive to fading even under extreme loads. The ventilated front discs are not the conventional cooling ducts. Instead, the two halves of the disk with hundreds of small metal cubes that are able to disperse a large quantity of hot air very quickly.

Brake calipers in conjunction with the design concept is based on a floating calipers. Areas that require load resistance is made high-strength ductile cast iron. Housing piston aluminum dissipates heat very efficiently. Despite their low weight, calipers show a very high stiffness.

All brake pads and the cover plates particularly lightweight aluminum - direct benefit from sports management, reducing unsprung weight.

A look at the back of the remote control: the Audi side assist

Audi side assist uses intelligent radar technology to signal danger when changing lanes. Two radar sensors for the rear bumper, which acts as a frequency of 24 Gigahertz, scan the area next to and behind the four Audi Q5 hybrid, up to 50 meters (164 feet) from the machine. High-speed control unit analyzes the raw data.

If another vehicle is moving at a similar rate in the critical range, or is rapidly approaching the rear, a yellow LED display in the housing rights of the door mirrors or left.

A high-speed computer share the same housing detects road markings.

If the driver approaches one of these lines without notice, Audi lane to warn them of the steering wheel, causing the engine to vibrate through one of its surfaces, the intensity of vibration can be set at three different stages through the MMI. The timing of the report can also be set to three different levels - before the wheels have also reached the lines, not just through them, or according to the interpretation of the adaptive system. Audi lane assist can also be disabled. The display will show whether it was activated, but not able to give warnings, for example, if the lines are too difficult to detect.

Audi offers three parking assist systems, the area of ​​equipment of the Audi Q5 hybrid four. Classic version of the system, parking assist, rear headroom beep. The parking system plus version, screens are added to the front and rear, with a total of eight ultrasonic sensors in the bumper.

Maximum comfort and security offered by the parking system advanced, which includes a rearview camera.
