    The New Audi SQ7 TDI Has Arrived

    Go big or go home; that’s the motto of Audi’s latest release. The new model is an enhanced version of their biggest SUV – the SQ7 – but it’s more than just the engine that’s been supercharged ahead of its Autumn release date with the body, chassis and interior benefitting from a tweak or two. 

    It will set you back a pretty penny though with prices starting at £76K. The question is, it worth the money?

    The SQ7 TDI is powered by a V8 diesel engine but the German manufacturers, have incorporated a 48V lithium-ion battery. It gives the vehicle hybrid capabilities and there is no need to concern yourself with performance either as it can hit 62mph in under five seconds and tops out at 155mph – a limited maximum. 

    These are numbers that put it up there with the quickest SUVs on the road, which is hardly surprising when you consider the 429bhp and 900 Nm of torque that is generated. Yet despite all that performance, it will still achieve near to 40 miles per gallon and C02 emissions sit in the region of 200g/km, which puts it near the top of its class.

    The bodywork has seen a revamp too with the front and rear bumpers taking on a more dominant look whilst the skirts have also been upgraded in size. 20-inch alloy wheels, chrome style mirrors and LED headlights either side of the silver grill bring the exterior together in a bold yet elegant manner. 

    There are supersized calipers, which come in a red or black finish, and carbon-ceramic brakes are available for those not opting for the standard spec. Open the soft close doors and you’ll find a short but girthy automatic eight-speed gearbox and an interior that is stylishly sculpted with aluminium trim and stainless steel pedals that complement the exterior. 

    Sink yourself into the leather sports seats, which can be upgraded to include a massage function, and you’ll be met with four-zone air conditioning, a near eight and a half-inch screen embedded on the dash that is compatible with both Apple Car Play and Amazon Alexa and, again, depending on preference, customisable lighting and potentially an upgraded sound system provided by Bang and Olufsen.

    When it comes to the actual drive the SQ7 won’t disappoint either. You’ll find the design has reduced external noise to next to nothing regardless of how hard you push the engine and the suspension settings are in your full control to adapt for your driving needs ensuring a smooth ride every time. The all-wheel steering provides fantastic stability particularly at high speeds whilst the rear wheel’s ability to move in the opposite direction when moving slowly gives the SQ7 a surprisingly small turning circle.

    Audi has developed a model that will catch the eye on any road, and it will keep pace with most vehicles of a similar size whilst still giving the driver a more than respectable fuel efficiency. The price tag means it will be competing with the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and the Range Rover Sport SVR – both can top out higher than the Audi but they’ll cost you near on £100k off the grid and they won’t get near to the mpg posted by the SQ7 meaning they’ll cost you more each time you drive them.All things considered the new car on the block measures up well in almost every respect. – Audi, which if you are an NFL wagering enthusiast, you might have noticed as part of the advertising campaign for this year’s Super Bowl, scored a touchdown with this new model. So, don’t be surprised to see a response from its rivals in their next releases.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
