It’s the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever since it was first introduced
over 25 years ago – a technology that delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty
characteristics which make the Audi Q7 so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro permanent four-
wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better deceleration,
four permanently-driven wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or pulling
the car as needed, for a driving experience that’s both dynamic and safe. In the Audi Q7 drive
power is continuously distributed between the front and rear axles depending on weather
conditions, road surface and gradient.
