Any owners of Q7 e-tron here

The first step would be the usual fault code read with VCDS and save the results before deleting them. Then the car needs to be driven for a few days for the problem to re-occur and the caodes read again, these should be compared with the first read and then whatever they are, dealt with. IF nothing of interest is found it may be a software issue so it would need to go to the dealer or a VAG specialist with ODIS and registered for GEKO access to perform aSVM or Software Version Management check to see if there are any software updates. By the way, lovely part of the country, we often rent a cottage at Chatham Farm near the white tower down near the end of Pant Road but this stupid virus has meant not this year.

In case anyone wonders how original Q7 e-tron alloys looks like after painting gloss black and diamond cut. Wasn't sure initialy but now rather pleased with the result.

The wheels look very good. Where did you have them done?

cheers

Hi, dose anyone know what is the battery usable capacity for Q7 e-tron? I know that total capacity claimed by Audi is 17.3 kWh but can't find any information about working range. When charged from empty to full I usually get between 11.5 and 11.7 kWh. I assume there is 15% buffer on top and bottom so around 12 kWh per cycle would be about right. Dose anyone have similar experience? 15% buffer seems large when compared to BEV but as PHEV potentially could run 2 full cycles (or more) a day, I suppose it's a way of protecting battery.

I did ask this question of Audi (or a version of it) but got no meaningful answer. My dealer is super helpful, and they referred it to the factory, but factory were useless in how they responded despite supplementary questions !

So I plan to have Audi warned well in advance before my next service visit so they can take whatever measurements they require to give a sensible answer.

That being said, I have covered 100,000Km in my e-tron: it's like new, the best car I have ever owned and is showing 4.7l/100km for the past 50,000km of mostly city - suburban driving, with one long motorway trip most weeks.. ( >60MPG in old money...).

And with perfect reliability:biglaugh::biglaugh: says he, tempting fate...

I have read the Q7 E-tron SSP and it says in that , that the usable capacity is 14 kWh. I have also found that the car seems to be able to use around 12kWh of battery power after being fully charged and running out of charge.

This thread is great, appreciate all the comments as I am very close to purchasing a late 2017 Q7 e-tron. Test drove it and it was a joy to drive with serious comfort and spec. As the previous comments mention Audi dealer didn’t have much to say about them or have any in stock so it looks like I’ll be going through an independent dealer with my due diligence completed ✅ Audi dealership did agree that it was a clever combination of EV and diesel rather than petrol but likely discontinued as diesel not the best option for US market (the bigger picture). I’m based in Ireland and not many to choose from here or in the UK so easiest to go with an independent dealer who have already imported it. Was totally sold on the Q7 etron as it suits us with 3 kids plenty of urban driving and the odd motorway family trips but getting a little worried about the battery so need to check that out as I have no idea how previous owners charged etc but nice to hear about the 8yr warranty on the battery. Guess I need the original Audi dealership it was bought from in the UK which it has. Still quite expensive despite being 5yrs old so holding value 👌
