With deliveries scheduled for August, UK buyers can already order Audi’s new 435 PS Q7 flagship model for the price of £70,970 OTR.

The SQ7 TDI is not just Audi’s first ever ‘S’ version of the Q7 premium SUV, but also the first series production car to incorporate new electric powered compressor technology, meant to eliminate turbo lag.

Performance is a huge factor when it comes to the SQ7 TDI. Its redesigned V8 BiTDI unit now puts down 435 PS and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque, resulting in a supercar-like 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of just 4.9 seconds.

Once customers get the chance to spend their hard earned money on one, they’ll probably appreciate its high standard equipment levels, with things like S-specific interior and exterior details, virtual cockpit, adaptive S air suspension, active sound exhaust, rear view camera and Valcona leather upholstery with S embossing, all available at no extra costs.

Among its options, you have things like the 22″ diamond-cut alloys, the carbon ceramic brakes, Audi’s Matrix LED headlights and the Tour pack which features Traffic Jam Assist and night vision.
