2013 Porsche Panamera Diesel

Porsche Panamera diesel combines the driving pleasure typical of the brand with the efficiency of a midsize car. In our test, we examine how "Porsche" and "diesel" in harmony.

2013 Porsche Panamera Diesel

If someone had said 25 years ago, that there will be a Porsche sedan with a diesel engine, you would have probably laughed at him, but times are changing, and today there is a full-fledged Porsche sports sedan with a diesel motor.

The design of the Panamera, it can still recognize at first glance, the family resemblance, visually, the Panamera is ever a true Porsche. The blend of sportiness and space is the engineers succeeded perfectly, the Panamera combines two worlds in one car.

Sporty sedan with an already extremely luxurious equipment, which includes among other things, in addition to the mandatory safety features for 18 "alloy wheels, LED taillights, a partial leather trim, an underbody trim, air conditioning and an electronic parking aid.

Is still room for improvement given enough how the features of our test cars has shown. With some nice features details such as Bi-Xenon headlights including PDLS, Bose surround sound system, full leather interior, heated steering wheel, air-conditioned front seats, electric sun roof, 20 "alloy wheels in Turbo design, electrically opening tailgate and even some other details are coming soon

For this we will also be an extremely luxurious Porsche brought to the door. The interior design is just as spectacular as the exterior appearance. A mixture of typical Porsche style, and Star Trek greeted the passengers.

The most comfortable sports seats offer perfect stability, and the wide center console - front and rear - admits to every passengers personal privacy. On the center console are pushing a variety of knobs and switches that caresses of shiny aluminum inserts. Though the Panamera with this wealth of buttons not the 1st

The valves are the way they expect from Porsche, only in version 2.0 for Internet geeks. As usual, the rev counter is in the middle of the ads, but the Panamera is flanked on each side by two more ads. Left of the tachometer you can learn everything about oil temperature, oil pressure and speed, the right of it is the fixed display of water temperature and fuel, as well as the home of the onboard computer, and optionally the color display of the navigation system if the other passengers would use the main display for the navigation system otherwise .

With a length of 497 cm, the Panamera also princely space. Even in the second row there for tall passengers enough leg room, and headroom is much better than they trust the Porsche 141 cm high would.

The boot capacity of 445 liters by folding down the rear seats is even more extended and thus sized for a sports sedan perfectly acceptable.

Processing and material selection are perfectly typical of Porsche, even after 21,000 km of our test car rattles (which are usually twice as strong as claimed in private hands) nothing, and everything looks as fit as the first day.

The most important question remains, whether in creating a nearly 2-ton sedan, a 250-hp diesel engine and the feeling can Prosche? With a turn of the key, of course, as usual, Porsche is located on the left of the steering wheel, they awaken the 6-cylinder diesel engine to life and is surprised the first time.

The engineers have done it that no one gets into the car and has not previously read the discreet sign on the diesel side air inlet believe, would be to sit in a diesel. The sound is reminiscent of the Boxer engine and is far removed from any diesel-nailing. In return, the power delivery can be proud. With a maximum torque of 550 Nm, which is available 1750-2750 rev / min, the Panamera diesel accelerates smoothly in 6.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h Even more impressive is the enormous pulling power of the 3.0-liter diesel, which transports passengers in just 4.5 seconds from 80 km / h to 120 km / h.

The power delivery is accompanied by a sonorous sound, one has reached the desired speed, but it remains pleasantly quiet inside, which is recommended as an ideal of the Panamera sedan. Its top speed is 242 km / h

Perfect as the 8-speed Tiptronic harmonizes with the diesel, which shifts gear so perfect that you forget the keys for manual switching operations on the steering wheel may well.

In Sport mode, the Panamera looks then more agile, and very direct and light steering is a bit harder.

When the road holding and handling you will know that youre in a Porsche on the road. The Panamera is literally glued to the road, and if you did not know that you are traveling with a 5-meter sedan, you would not believe with certainty, so light and active driving can the great Porsche measure exactly around curves.

The big surprise is it then again at the pump: With a test consumption of 7.5 liters, which were achieved with quite a lot of driving fun and a good working start / stop system, the Panamera is also very economical way. Even the factory-stated 6.5 liters per 100 km are feasible, the gas pedal when moving house - only those who would like to have done this in a Porsche?

With the Panamera, Porsche has put a car on the wheels, which can inspire absolute. The combination of a typical Porsche driving characteristics with a frugal diesel, which are quite 1000 km to meet at a time without refueling makes the most sensible Porsche Panamera diesel for all time.

2016 Audi Q7 e Tron Quattro Diesel Plug In Hybrid

373 hp, 700 Nm of torque, particularly spurt strong and to an average fuel consumption of just 1.7 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers: Audi presents the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro its first diesel plug-in hybrid that has it all and sit up with completely new technology allows. Its launch is celebrating the new Audi Q7 e-tron quattro in spring 2016.

Design: Making a Difference
There are subtleties with which the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro differs from conventional Audi Q7 that has taken off in the second generation from the summer of 2015. Lost its massiveness, drives the 5.05-meter-long Audi Q7 visually more dynamic in the future. The striking single-frame grille with strong transverse struts formed by the makers strong plastic. Strikingly, the wide radiator grille frame runs up to the headlights. The Audi e-tron quattro Q7 the makers recorded the single-frame grille, the air intakes, the 19-inch wheels and the rear diffuser again. The headlights are designed in three dimensions, while the cool light signature appears as a double arrow.

Drive: Powerful Combination - sporting power and minimum consumption
The Audi e-tron quattro Q7 combines a six-cylinder diesel (TDI) with quattro all-wheel drive. With 275 kW / 373 hp and 700 Nm system performance system torque of the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro sprints in just 6.0 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h, and on up to a top speed of 225 km / h. According to the standard for plug-in hybrid vehicles, the large SUV average content with just 1.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of less than 50 grams of CO2.

Like all hybrid models from Audi is designed as a parallel hybrid, the Q7 e-tron quattro. The 3.0 TDI, a highly efficient V6 diesel, has 190 kW / 258 bhp and 600 Nm of torque. Active engine mount - a world first for a diesel engine - largely eliminate unwanted vibrations through targeted counter pulses. The disc-shaped electric motor provides 94 kW / 128 hp and delivers 350 Nm of torque.

For the power transmission, an eight-stage Tiptronic automatic transmission provides. The permanent all-wheel drive directs the forces on all four wheels. During fast cornering, the center differential in the quattro drive works closely with torque vectoring. The balanced chassis, available with optional air suspension "Adaptive Air Suspension", meanwhile, will combine excellent ride comfort with distinctive sporty handling.

56 km electric range and full charge in only 2.5 hours
The lithium-ion battery with 17.3 kWh capacity in pure electric mode enables a range of 56 kilometers. The total range of the diesel engine is 1410 km. Another module efficiency, this represents specially developed for the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro standard thermal management system with integrated heat pump that provides the heat of the electric drive components to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro is available. Thus, for example, benefit inmates even at low outdoor temperatures from a quick inside heating. Audi brings this technology as the worlds first manufacturer in a plug-in hybrids in series.

The Audi e-tron quattro Q7, the new two-phase charging technology is installed, which allows you to load up to 7.2 kW. Takes place, depending on the infrastructure (corresponding performance industrial socket) and the charging cable, the full charge of the battery in about 2.5 hours.

Maximum efficiency: the hybrid management
The hybrid management controls the operating states of the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro flexible and highly efficient. The driver can choose between four modes: the "EV" mode prioritizes the electric driving; in "hybrid" mode, the system decides to a large extent on the kind of the actuator. In the mode "Battery Hold" Audi Q7 e-tron quattro saves on the availability of electrical energy, such as for a pure electric driving in town at the destination. In the mode "Battery charge" the system charges the battery when driving on fast as possible.

The large SUV starts electrically rule. To activate the TDI, the driver must depress the active accelerator pedal beyond a certain point of resistance. The point at which the resistance occurs, depends on the requirements of the hybrid management. Also for the boosting, in which work together both engines, a pressure point is overcome.

When the hybrid mode is active and the eight-speed Tiptronic is in the switch position "D", the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro changes to sailing, when the driver takes his foot off the accelerator - the diesel and electric motor are then disabled. If the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro approaches a slower vehicle ahead or a roundabout or the entrance, the sailing operation ends in favor of targeted recuperation delay. For the detection of lying ahead traffic situation, the system uses the data of the "MMI Navigation plus", the front camera and - if the distance control "Adaptive Cruise Control" is on board - the radar sensors.

When driving in the switch position "S" mode and the "Battery charge" energy recovery will begin when decelerating. The driver can influence the degree of recuperation via the shift paddles on the steering wheel gradually. The majority of all brake applications in everyday life also run on the electric motor. From mid-delay is displayed and the hydraulic brakes are used.

Predictive efficiency Wizard: This new technology sets new standards
The standard "MMI Navigation plus" is closely involved in the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro into hybrid management. From the navigation data and the real-time traffic information, the system can already calculate to finish the most economical choice of four modes along the route at the start of the car - even at long range.

The new "Predictive efficiency Wizard" also allows a forward-looking hybrid strategy. During the trip, "Predictive efficiency Wizard" provides highly accurate local environment information and proactively created to three kilometers from the navigation and camera data and the radar information a detailed picture of the route. Before traffic signs with speed limits, road signs, curves, roundabouts and intersections, the system proposes to the driver via a visual cue to go off the gas. At the same time, the active accelerator pedal pulses once against his foot.

New technologies: top comfort and sporty handling
The new Audi Q7 e-tron quattro represents an everyday long-distance car with great sporting talent. The new electromechanical power steering is highly efficient and precise. The five-link suspension at the front and rear axle newly developed are compared to the previous model, more than 60 kilograms lighter and contribute strongly to the high driving dynamics. An important role is played by the lowered center of gravity here.

Even the basic version of the large SUV rolls from soft and smooth - yet sovereign will of comfort with the optional adaptive air suspension, air suspension with controlled damping. The driver can regulate their operation over the standard vehicle dynamics system "Audi Drive Select." It keeps prepared up to seven modes, and also binds other technology components such as the steering, the accelerator pedal and the automatic one.

All-rounder for leisure, sports, cultural and business of the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro copes effortlessly easy terrain. A tilt angle display, a hill descent assist, an off-road mode for the Electronic Stability Control ESC and an off-road navigation are available as standard.

Interior: Elegant design and top quality
Inside the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro offers one of the largest room offers in its segment. The three rear seats have adjustable backrests and can be moved on request in length. The lithium-ion battery maker brought under space-saving: the luggage compartment holds 890 liters in the normal state willing maximum there are 2,075 liters. An electrically operated tailgate comes as standard.

A highlight of the Audi Q7 e-tron is the standard "Audi Virtual Cockpit" - the fully digital instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch display (31.2 inches measured diagonally) presents all the important information in brilliant quality. The driver can call up various information layers, including specific e-tron indicators, such as the power meter. The large display allows you to switch to a conventional tachometer or the simultaneous display with the power meter. In addition, the instrument cluster presents the indicators for energy flow to reach (with numerical values ​​and graphics) and the state of charge of the battery.

For Infotainment Audi is also a latest technology. It is operated by voice, with the multifunction steering wheel or with the newly developed MMI terminal, the MMI touchpad. The main functions can be accessed using the rotary push-button control and two rocker switches. Audi also integrates the "All-in-Touch" - on the big touchpad driver can enter a string or multi-finger gestures to perform to zoom around the map and scroll through lists.

The Infotainment Audi added to specific sizes for representations in electric mode. For example, there is a consumption statistics are available, together with a graphical display of the electric range in the navigation map. Furthermore, let both the charging and preconditioning the time control and to the customer resource such as departure time and adapt cost-saving.

Internet and new approaches to Rear-seat entertainment
"Audi Connect" connects the Q7 e-tron quattro by the fast LTE standard to the Internet. By Wi-Fi hotspot, the passenger can surf with their mobile devices and e-mail. For the driver brings "Audi Connect" customized Internet services from Audi in the car, on the navigation with images from Google Earth and Google Street View on-line traffic information to the smartphone app "Audi Music Stream" to access Internet Radio and the large selection of titles Napster. News and information services are also available. The online services Facebook and Twitter integrated the makers also meet the vehicle infotainment like Pandora, Spotify and WhatsApp.

In the Rear Seat Entertainment Audi is breaking new ground. As Fond monitors serve on or to request two tablets with each 10.1-inch diagonal (25.7 centimeters). Thus, a rear passenger, for example, send a navigation destination on the tablet to the navigation or surfing the Internet. In competition with the sports exhaust system is beyond the optional sound system from Bang & Olufsen of 1,920 watts, which provides a 3D sound and uses 23 speakers.

Driver assistance systems can be so beautiful high-tech
Also relies on the assistance systems, the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro standards. New features such as the avoidance assistant that supports the driver by intervening in the steering when negotiating obstacles, and the turn-off assistant which monitors oncoming traffic when turning left at low speeds and in a critical situation decelerates the car.

The intersection assistant warns the driver also provide other vehicles when driving slowly backwards while the trailer assistant Audi Q7 e-tron quattro precisely articulated as a towing vehicle in the direction defined by the driver with the rotary control / push control in the MMI. The system also manages the opposite driving in the steering wheel.

The distance control "Adaptive Cruise Control", including congestion assistant, the driver takes on well-maintained roads to 65 km / h speed the steering work from when traffic flows tough. In combination with the "Predictive efficiency Wizard" that automatically adjusts the speed of local inputs and speed limits on curves and intersections - also taking advantage of the sailing operation.
