Audi Q7 (2008) Updates

Sunday, 27 July 2008 06:08 PM The 2008 Audi Q7 saw an update in its engine lineup, particularly with the 3.0 TDI model, which now produces 240 hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine boasts a Common Rail fuel injection system and piezo injectors, enhancing both power and efficiency. The fuel economy improved, with the vehicle using 9.8 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers, a reduction of 0.7 liters compared to its predecessor.

Sunday, 15 June 2008 04:45 PM Audi introduced the adaptive air suspension as a standard feature on the Q7 4.2 TDI, which combines dynamic handling with luxury-class ride comfort. This suspension allows the driver to select from different modes, enhancing the vehicles performance and comfort. I think this feature really sets the Q7 apart in its segment.

Tuesday, 20 May 2008 11:39 AM The 2008 Audi Q7 received several trim level updates, with the base 4.2 trim level being dropped in favor of the 4.2 Premium. This change included additional standard equipment such as leather upholstery, a six-CD changer, and 18-inch wheels. The Quattro all-wheel-drive system remained standard across all models.

Thursday, 10 April 2008 05:59 AM Safety features were a significant focus for the 2008 Audi Q7, with standard equipment including antilock brakes, stability control, and side curtain airbags for all outboard passengers. Optional features like Audis Side Assist and lane assist were also available, enhancing the vehicles safety profile.

Tuesday, 25 March 2008 02:53 PM The interior of the 2008 Audi Q7 was praised for its luxury and craftsmanship, featuring leather seats, matte wood, brushed aluminum, and piano-black accents. The MMI basic control system and an on-board computer were also standard, contributing to the vehicles premium feel.

Friday, 15 February 2008 10:16 PM The 2008 Audi Q7s handling was improved with the availability of an adaptive air suspension on the 4.2 Premium models. This suspension allowed for three main modes, making the vehicle more agile on curvy roads. However, the vehicles size and weight could make it feel unwieldy around town.

Sunday, 20 January 2008 12:28 PM Audis lane assist system made its debut in the 2008 Q7, particularly in the 4.2 TDI model. This system alerts the driver if the vehicle drifts out of its lane by vibrating the steering wheel, a feature that was innovative for its time. I believe this was a significant step forward in driver assistance technology.

Monday, 10 December 2007 11:37 AM The 2008 Audi Q7 maintained its reputation for being a heavy but powerful SUV, with the V8-powered 4.2 Premium model offering 350 hp. However, this power came at the cost of fuel economy, with the vehicle achieving a combined 16 mpg.

Thursday, 15 November 2007 08:45 AM The exterior design of the 2008 Audi Q7 was complemented by optional features like 21-inch wheels and the open sky system glass roof. The vehicle also had a generous luggage compartment with a capacity of up to 72.5 cu. ft., making it practical for family use.

Thursday, 25 October 2007 01:31 PM Audi emphasized the Q7s luxury and convenience features, including an electric tailgate and a deluxe climate control system. The vehicle was available in various seating configurations, including 5, 6, or 7 seats, catering to different user needs.
