Specifically , it’s about to its predecessor is , the 2006 model year, when it came to sales , had some significant success . Therefore, the new model had to undergo various changes and improvements, so that some of the elements and features have changed and the last moment .

As competition in the new model, we see the Porsche Cayenne and Land Rover Range Rover Sport but also BMW X 5

2015 Audi Q 7 Firstly , I must point out that the new model is built with the MLB platform – modular – longitudinal architecture . Past that , it’s still present could not boast of off -road driving modes but the new Q 7 of the model in 2015 , will be able to . As for the exterior and the interior is concerned, much of it is new , but there are elements taken from other models. This is for example the front part and the angular metallic mask that is taken from the model Crosslane . Vehicle Q 7 for an increased muscle mass , wider fenders and a streamlined and aggressive attitude. With the new rectangular LED headlights and attractive lines , Q 7 is sure to attract a large number and younger population . As we learn to build the vehicles used are lighter and higher quality materials , so it is expected and total vehicle weight reduction compared to the previous model . When we talk about the interior, it should be noted increased space , with three rows of seats and a larger cargo space.

Today Audi released pricing for its complete lineup for 2014, and while we’ve already covered this information for the A6, A7, and Q5 TDI models and the R8 supercar, pricing also was announced for the RS5 cabriolet, the topless version of the mighty RS5 coupe. The cost for the no-roof option is $78,795, which is $8300 more than its fixed-roof counterpart.

Introduced at last year’s Paris auto show, the RS5 cabriolet shares all of the high-performance goodness of the coupe—except for the steel roof, of course. Under the hood is the same naturally aspirated 450-hp, 4.2-liter V-8; with the top down, expect the roar of its mechanical exertions to wash over you in unfettered waves of aural delight. That top goes down in 15 seconds and closes in 17 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph.

The V-8 will match up with Audi’s S tronic seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, driving all four wheels with a front-rear torque split of 40:60. If necessary, the center differential can send up to 70 percent of the power to the front wheels or up to 85 percent to the rears. As on the coupe, Audi’s “wave”-edged brake rotors are on hand for stopping duties; eight-piston calipers are featured up front. With their scalloped design, Audi claims they reduce rotating and unsprung mass by about 2 pounds per corner. Compared with the regular A5 cabriolet, the RS5 cab has a sport-tuned suspension and rides 0.8 inch lower. Special reinforcements help to bolster the cabriolet’s structural rigidity, while aluminum front fenders offset some of the added weight of the reinforcements. For increased usability, there is a pass-through hatch from the trunk to the rear seating area; the rear seatbacks also can be folded over individually. Nineteen-inch forged aluminum wheels are standard, while 20-inchers are optional ($1000).

The diesel-powered Audi TDI models are coming!

Audi has slowly but surely been adding more and more models that offer TDI diesel power over the past few years, and the 2014 A6, A7, and Q5 are the lastest four-ringers to gain the option. Now, pricing and fuel-economy info for the three models have been released, and as you’d expect, they all offer significantly better fuel efficiency than their gas-powered counterparts.

All three Audi TDI models share the VW Group’s diesel 3.0-liter V-6 engine, which puts out 240 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque, and all come standard with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system. The A6 and A7 TDI are EPA-rated for 24 mpg in the city and a remarkable 38 mpg on the highway. In the case of the A6, those figures are a huge improvement over both the gas four- and six-cylinder, all-wheel-drive versions, which are good for 20/30 mpg and 18/27 mpg, respectively. The A7 TDI also handily beats its supercharged, gas-fed V-6 counterpart’s 18/28 rating. The Q5 TDI also is the most efficient Q5, but not by much; its 24/31 mpg is only marginally better than the Q5 hybrid’s 24/30 rating. Regular gas-powered Q5s return 20/28 mpg in four-cylinder guise and 18/26 mpg in supercharged six-cylinder form.

The A6, A7, and Q5 TDI aren’t available in the base, Premium trim level offered on gas-powered models; instead, all three are offered only in mid-level Premium Plus and top-spec Prestige guise. Pricing starts at $58,395 for the A6, $67,795 for the A7, and $47,395 for the Q5. Pricing for the gas 2014 A6, A7, and Q5 isn’t available, but compared to the 2013 V-6 gas versions, the premium for the diesel engine runs between $2600 and $3100. The cars’ only true competition consists of Mercedes-Benz’s diesel-powered E350 BlueTec sedan and GLK250 BlueTec crossover. Both Benzes undercut the Audi A6 and Q5 TDI by thousands, and the GLK250—which utilizes a four-cylinder engine rather than a six—merely matches the Q5′s city fuel economy of 24 mpg. On the highway, however, the GLK’s 33 mpg only improves upon the more powerful Q5′s highway fuel economy by 2 mpg.

All three diesel Audis go on sale this summer, and will join the diesel-fed A8, outgoing A3, and Q7 in the brand’s TDI lineup.
