</p><p>&nbsp; Petrol powered cars are making a comeback, no doubt helped by the ban of diesel vehicles over 2000cc in NCR. That ban is still fresh in memory and Audi seems to have noticed a shift in demand towards petrol powered vehicles. Consequently, Q7 will be launched with petrol motor on September 1, 2017. &nbsp;The petrol powered Q7 will have "40TFSI" moniker with the 2.0 litre, four cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine rated at an impressive power figure of 252 BHP and 370 NM torque, which is even more impressive. Transmission duty will be handled by an 8-speed ZF autobox channeling power through Audi’s much acclaimed Quattro Four Wheel Drive system. The diesel counterpart currently on offer is powered by a 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine that develops power of 272 BHP and 600 NM of torque.</p><p>As compared to its predecessor, new Audi Q7 is upto 300 kg lighter which noticeably improves performance, fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. Such enviable weight reduction was a result of weight saving components used in suspension, exhaust system and a chassis which is made out of aluminum and high strength steel. Audi has been one of the pioneers for extensive use of aluminum in their cars. </p><p>We expect the feature list of petrol powered variants to be at par with its diesel counterpart. Q7 has well accomplished rivals, and Audi has left no stone unturned to keep Q7 as competitive as ever. This means it boasts of an exhaustive feature list that justifies its price tag while radiating a luxurious appeal.</p><p>Audi also launched Q7 Design Edition last week in India. Extended feature list included Audi Smartphone Interface, smoked LED tail lamps, 20" Cast Aluminum alloy wheels with 5-spoke-star design, &nbsp;door puddle projection lamps with Audi logo in front and Quattro logo in the rear.</p><p></p>
