It can do 0-100 km/h in just 6 seconds, while the SUV also has the ability to manage a top speed of 225 km/h.

There are four driving modes available on the e-tron: EV mode, hybrid mode, battery hold mode, and battery charge mode.

While the new Q7 made its debut earlier this year at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the e-tron comes with exclusive grille, air intakes, rear diffuser and 19-inch wheels.
