Until now, whoever wanted an Audi SQ7 or SQ8 in Europe saw their choice limited to just one engine: a 4.0L V8, biturbo, mild-hybrid… Diesel!
And if it is true that its 435 hp and 900 Nm are no reason to be ashamed, it is no less true that what is usual in a model with a sporting vocation is that it uses a gasoline engine.
Now, to respond to the more traditionalists or purists, Audi now offers the SQ7 and SQ8 with a gasoline engine in the “Old Continent”.
the new engine
It is not an absolute novelty, as the new gasoline engine of the Audi SQ7 and SQ8 that now arrives in Europe is the same that was already sold in the USA, in other words, the 4.0 V8 TFSI.

With two turbos, this engine debits 507 hp and 770 Nm of torque , numbers that allow the two SUVs to reach 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1s and reach 250 km/h of maximum speed (electronically limited).
They are equipped as standard with adaptive air suspension and four-wheel steering. Also standard are 20” wheels (22” as an option) on the SQ7 and 21” (23” wheels optionally) on the SQ8.
Scheduled for arrival on the European market in autumn, the new Audi SQ7 and SQ8 will cost in Germany from €93,287 and €101,085 respectively. As for prices for Portugal, these remain unknown.
