Transmission
The 6-speed tiptronic transmission system is a form of automatic transmission standard on all
Audi Q7 models. The technology incorporates DSP – or the Dynamic Shift Programme which aligns
and converts the engine’s high power and torque into both sporty performance and operating
convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes, reduced weight and optimised gearshifting.
In the ‘D’ (Drive) and ‘S’ (Sport) programme, the advanced electronics used in tiptronic
respond efficiently to every driver input, helping to prevent unwanted gear-changes.
The driver can override automatic mode by moving the gear lever into a tiptronic shift-gate,
enabling spontaneous gear-changing for a sportier driving style.
