A push of the red-rimmed start button and the V8 diesel comes to life with a deep rumble that promises real power: 435 hp and 900 Newton meters (663.8 lb-ft) from 1,000 rpm. The SQ7 TDI delivers full power right away thanks to a world’s first: the electric powered compressor that supports the two turbochargers at low engine speeds. Turbo lag – that’s history. The energy is provided by the 48 volt electrical subsystem, a new technology in this segment. The 100 km/h (62.1 mph) mark falls in less than five seconds, and acceleration continues up to 250 km/h (155.3 mph). This doesn’t mean that the SUV is particularly thirsty, however. It consumes on average just 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers(32.7 US mpg).

That sounds sweet, decent MPG and a shed load of torque - whats not to like?

It does sound like a lot of engineering however, I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig as such, think I would leave it a while until the bugs get ironed out

Did you buy one or just forwarding info from the internet?

don't they have a Cayenne Diesel S in europe with that engine?

Ill be honest, I just got my 09 TTS and I am already eyeing up that SQ7 as its successor as soon as some CPO's start coming around in two years. Its got some incredible stats and its got essentially the same performance but more space, more tech upgrades and much better MPG. Yes it even has an electric equivalent of PDCC and the 0-60 is essentially the same as the TTS.

Very, very promising vehicle.

skiahh

The article says it's a new 4.0l engine. Power numbers are up from the CS Diesel, too.

The new Porsche 4.0 litre petrol V8 twin turbo for the Cayenne / Panamera will feature electric turbos as well.

The new Q7 looks absolutely hideous, like a minivan on 21" wheels..

But who am I to say - I have never owned any other cars than Porsches

I didn't realize there was a new gen out so I had a look - you're right it seems

Hopefully the S-Line gets a makeover to pretty it up a little

Go & see, they have tours. Same line might be a little exaggerated but lots of driveline parts are identical between these three (plus bentley benwhatever).
And IIRC, cayenne will be built 100% in bratislava since 2017.

Man your not kidding one bit.

Fugly city.
