Audi reveals U.S. pricing for Q7 TDI Clean Diesel

Audi today released pricing for its 2009 model-year Q7 TDI SUV, the German carmaker’s first clean diesel vehicle for the U.S. market. Featuring a 3.0L V6 diesel engine – the same unit as the Volkswagen Touareg TDI - the Q7 TDI is scheduled to arrive in U.S. dealerships later this month.

Prices will start at $50,990, and buyers will also be able to qualify for a $1,150 Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit from the IRS. The prices are in line with other luxury carmaker offerings - BMW’s X5 diesel starts at around $52,000 for the base model.

Inside, you can expect to find 12-way heated front seats, seven-passenger seating, dual-zone climate control, a power tailgate and numerous other features, although when fully-loaded we wouldn’t be surprised if the new Q7 was closer to $70,000 in price.

The new Q7 TDI also features one of the world’s cleanest diesel systems, with the car certified as meeting emissions regulations in all 50 U.S.
