Audi has added a new and especially efficient member to its Q7 family. The Q7 3.0 TDI offers 150 kW (204 hp) while consuming an average of just 7.2 liters of diesel per 100 km (32.67 miles per U.S. gallon) – better than all direct competitors. At the same time, a 3.0 liter V6 drives this large SUV powerfully and smoothly. An eight-speed tiptronic and quattro permanent all-wheel drive round out the luxurious drivetrain.

Audi today announced that Chad Henne, quarterback of the Miami Dolphins, won the first-ever Audi Efficiency Challenge. The Challenge pitted high-profile members of the media, including Bill Simmons of ESPN.com and Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports, against two NFL stars: Henne of the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants’ Osi Umenyiora. Not a traditional race, the Audi Efficiency Challenge was designed to see who could achieve the best fuel-efficiency in an Audi Q7 TDI clean diesel SUV while driving from the Audi USA headquarters in Herndon, Virginia, to Miami, Florida. Henne has selected the Berks County Community Foundation to receive the $20,000 donation that Audi will make in his name.
