Nowadays every respectable car manufacturer MUSt have at least one hybrid model.Considering this,Audi set its mind on conveting the Q7 by the end of this year.A 51 HP electric motor will be implanted to the car,powered by a 288 V battery.The engineers estimate that the fuel consumtion and the CO2 emissions will drop by 23%.The regular engine will be a 3,6 litre(280 HP,375 Nm).

It has to be said that Audi tryed to keep the peeformance up to their standards so the car accelerates from a stand still to 60 MPH in 8.5 seconds but the ecologic part is stongly accentuated by the lowered CO2 emissions (from 309 to 237 g/km) and fuel comsumtion (from 18.5 MPG to 24,2 MPG).
