Audi Q7 can use gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or higher. Audi Q7 exterior: The Audi Q7 features clean and flowing body lines that create a highly sporty overall appearance. The 3D grille adopts horizontal chrome trim strips, enhancing its visual presence. The new family-style front fascia has sharp angles and strong three-dimensionality, while the matrix LED headlights also feature a new design, exuding a high-tech feel. Compared to the current model, the side profile of the new Q7 remains unchanged. At the rear, the new car adopts flatter LED taillights, with a chrome strip running below, maintaining the consistency of the family style. Audi Q7 safety features: The new car will be equipped with active lane keeping, front side airbags/head airbags, night vision system, traffic sign recognition, intersection assist, side assist system, and other configurations. Regarding the configurations, the three models with pre-sale prices announced have not yet disclosed their specific configurations. However, referring to the previous three pre-sale exclusive editions, the new car will see significant improvements in configurations, offering features such as power-adjustable seats + power lumbar support + heating + driver memory, third-row seat electric folding, smart key, hands-free tailgate, panoramic imaging, cruise control, driving mode selection, steering wheel height and angle adjustment, front and rear parking radar, auto hold, tire pressure monitoring, power-adjustable/heated/electric-folding/auto-dimming/memory exterior mirrors, power tailgate, heat-insulating glass, and more.
I've been driving an Audi Q7 for three years, and my personal experience tells you this car needs 95-octane gasoline. The engine is quite delicate with a high compression ratio, and 95-octane fuel has better anti-knock properties, protecting the pistons and valves from damage. Once during a road trip, the gas station ran out of 95-octane fuel, and I reluctantly filled up with 92-octane. The engine noise noticeably increased, and acceleration became jerky. During the subsequent maintenance, the mechanic found more carbon buildup on the throttle valve and lectured me for half an hour about fuel compatibility issues. There's a clear label inside the fuel cap stating ≥95. Always choose reputable gas stations and fill up properly—highway driving feels more responsive, and the acceleration push is stronger. Don't try to save a few bucks on cheaper fuel; maintaining a German car costs way more than the fuel anyway.
