Permanent all-wheel-drive

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

all-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,

asymmetric-dynamic torque distribution continuously distributes drive power between the

front and the rear axles depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient, which

increases flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.
