Who needs downsizing if he can get out 435 horsepower from a big V8 block with virtually no turbo lag while still using only 7.2 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers still quite can achieve moderate fuel consumption for such a big SUV? While the competition really is only six-cylinder, try the Ingolstadt with a big eight-cylinder for the Audi SQ7 and therefore give an outlook for future, powerful engines from the VW Group.
