Audi India is gearing up to extend the lineup of its flagship SUV, the Q7, by launching its petrol avatar, the Q7 40TFSI, on September 1, 2017. The model’s introduction is in line with Audi’s plans to offer a petrol engine with all its models by the end of 2017, due to the deteriorating level of interest in diesel cars. In fact, save for the Audi Q5, set to be replaced by the new-gen model revealed last year, every Audi car in India will now be available with the option of a petrol engine.

Presently, the Audi Q7 is sold in the country only with a diesel engine and is offered in two variants – 45 TDI Quattro Premium Plus and 45 TDI Quattro Technology. With the addition of the petrol variant in the form of the Q7 40 TFSI, Audi will now be catering to even those SUV buyers who were looking for a petrol-powered premium SUV.
