Gearbox Type: 8-Speed Tiptronic (Automatic)
The Q7 uses a torque-converter 8-speed Tiptronic transmission. Unlike the dual-clutch units in smaller Audis, the Tiptronic is chosen for its superior ability to handle high torque and provide smoother shifts under heavy loads, which is vital for a 7-seater SUV.
Drive Type: Quattro Permanent All-Wheel Drive
Audi’s signature Quattro system is standard on the Q7. It features a self-locking center differential that can divert power to whichever axle has the most grip, providing immense confidence during monsoon drives or on slippery mountain roads.
