Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 has been available in Malaysia since November 2006, with prices pegged at RM580,000 for the 3.0 litre TDI turbodiesel variant, and RM750,000 for the V8-powered Audi Q7 4.2 FSI Tiptronic. But as for it’s official launch, that just happened recently in the previous week. Prices are not exactly the same – the 3.0 TDI is now RM580,200, while the 4.2 TSI V8 is now pegged at RM750,200.

The Audi Q7 3.0 TDI is powered by a V6 turbodiesel that puts out 233 horsepower at 4,000rpm, and 500Nm of torque from between 1,750rpm to 2,750rpm. The V8 petrol variant makes 350 horsepower at 6,800rpm and 440Nm of torque at 3,500rpm. Yeah, this is not the same 4.2 V8 as the one in the Audi RS4, but a detuned, lower revving version. Check out more on the Audi Q7 through the links below.

    Never and can't see this car on the road, even at KL. Perhaps the "rare" species in the market looking at the asking price!

    haha "Kei9" …

    looking at the 750K price tag, I thought the Viva at 40K is "value-for-money" (which we all complain it is over priced)

    ys, if you do your research, Q7 was launched in the US and Europe BEFORE Malaysia. Premium cars are not about affordability, it's about showing off that you CAN afford it. The amazing amount of Cayenne's on the road is proof of that.

    Audi is gonna have a tough sell with the Q7. Most of their clients are corporate heads who purchases Audi to maintain low profile but this monster of a truck is anything but low profile.

    People will have a tough time parking these huge trucks. Even the XC90 is hard enough to park in the typically narrow Malaysian parking lots designed for smaller cars. I'd never trust one to a valet parking service :-)

    A low-powered V8 Audi for a 750K??

    I'd better go with the RS4…it's 3 times cheaper!!
