At that point, the hybrid system will be call upon For drivers with a steady foot, the vehicle will operate in all-electric mode at speeds up to 30 mph, and for distances ranging up to one mile. As a full hybrid, Audi Q7 will operate in one of three driving modes: either solely by gas engine, solely by electric motor, or a combination of the two units during periods of acceleration. Audi Q7’s mileage falls short of the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mercury Mariner, Toyota Highlander, and Lexus RX 400h. This is roughly the same math used by GM on its full-size SUV hybrids, like the Chevy Tahoe, the GMC Yukon, and the Cadillac Escalade.
Therefore, the Audi Q7 Hybrid is expected to offer combined fuel economy around 21 miles per gallon. Official figures have not yet been released, but Audi is promising a 27 percent increase in fuel economy over the conventional Audi Q7—with a similar reduction of tailpipe emissions. But most hybrid drivers would prefer to emphasize efficiency rather than performance. The seven-seat Audi Q7 Hybrid is expected to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 8 seconds.
That means more torque and more pulling power. The hybrid system will add an extra 50-hp thanks to the electric motor, which will draw its energy from a 288-volt nickel metal hydrid battery pack. The gas engine-electric motor combination will offer various enhancements over the standard powertrain. Audi’s full hybrid system, developed in partnership with VW and Porsche will utilize the same 3.6-liter powerplant found in the current model.
