Dominance built upon genuine innovation. The commanding twin-turbo 4.0 litre V8 TDI engine produces 320 kW of power and 900 Nm of torque. The SQ7 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The twin turbochargers are supplemented by an innovative world first electrically powered compressor which can be powered immediately, eliminating the traditional need to build boost pressure by accumulating exhaust energy. The result is all-but instantaneous power delivery, even at lower speeds, producing peak acceleration with no appreciable delay.

External design elements of the SQ7 demonstrate a confident balance of muscularity and sharpened styling. Key features are accentuated, such as the aluminium exterior mirror housings, distinctive Singleframe grille and the robust wheel arches. The foremost impression is of poise, capability and strength. The large, raked headlights of the SQ7 are emphasised in three dimensions and feature double-arrow-shaped signature detail.

The interior of the SQ7 is the largest in its class, with seven seats as standard accommodating passengers in full-sized luxury, and impressing throughout with premium workmanship. The electrically folding third row can be raised or lowered at the push of a button, making it easy to adjust the seating arrangement when needed. The LED interior lighting package includes ambient illumination. Adjustable through a range of 32 colours, this feature draws attention to carefully considered design elements such as door trims and the sculpted contours of the dash, centre tunnel and console.
