Audi declared “the weight is over” with this, the second-gen Q7. The tubby original earned the less-than-flattering nickname of ‘QE7’ so it was imperative for Ingolstadt to reduce its carbon footprint by cutting weight and reducing emissions. Key to that strategy was a healthy injection of aluminium into the Q7’s structure. The big new Audi’s handsome all-aluminium body saves around 95kg, while the new TDI V6 cuts around 20kg. Numerous other weight-saving initiatives equal a total saving of around 240kg in kerb weight.
