2019 Audi SQ7 USA, Release date, Price

Recently introduced, this performance version of the popular luxury SUV will most likely continue without bigger changes for the next year, as 2019 Audi SQ7. While the current second-generation came almost three years ago, we needed to wait for some more time to see this one. It is a hi-performance version which doesn’t put the focus on powerful engine and sporty suspension only. This model walks on the tight line between performance and functionality. Interestingly, it comes with a diesel engine, so it isn’t offered in North America.

Besides plenty of power, it also comes with good fuel economy, which sounds highly beneficial. Also, the model doesn’t lose the base model’s practicality. Moreover, it offers a pretty spacious and comfortable cabin, even a third row of seating, which sounds amazing considering the crossover’s sporty nature. Since we probably won’t see bigger changes, 2019 SQ7 should arrive late in the year.

2019 Audi SQ7 Engine – Audi’s newest technological achievement

Of course, the core of the 2019 Audi SQ7 will be the same 4.0-liter TDI unit. This is definitely one of the most famous diesel engines around and this time it comes in 8-cylinder layout. With its impressive output of 429 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque, it creates a basis for mind-blowing performances. For example, it needs only 4.8 seconds to reach 62 mph. Despite such impressive performances, fuel economy remains at an amazingly high level. You can count on almost 50 US gallons in a combined drive, which sounds way more than impressive if we consider the engine’s size and output.

So, what’s the deal with such impressive performances, but also decent fuel economy? This model is the first one to get Audi’s brand-new compression technology. Basically, it is an electrically controlled compressor, which is neither a turbocharger nor a supercharger. So far, we can say that it marks impressive work results. After all, it already won the Auto Car award for innovations. However, it is still early to talk about things like reliability and durability.
