For those interested in purchasing the Audi Q7, its braking distance is undoubtedly an important consideration. First, let's take a closer look at the Audi Q7.

The Audi Q7 is a mid-large SUV that emphasizes comfort, ingeniously integrating sporty performance, functionality, high technology, and luxury quality. On the highway, it stands out with its excellent dynamic control and sporty features. On off-road surfaces, its powerful driving force is indeed impressive.

Clearly, the Audi Q7 is another masterpiece from Audi, the founder of quattro technology. As for the braking distance of the Audi Q7, all three mid-large SUVs exhibit a noticeable forward pitching sensation during full braking, but ultimately, both the XC90 and Q7 perform satisfactorily, achieving an excellent standard.

In comparison, the Land Rover Discovery falls slightly short. Fortunately, even after repeated braking, the Audi Q7 shows no signs of brake fade, showcasing its reliability. According to braking tests, the braking performance of the Audi Q7 is quite remarkable, with a braking distance of just 36.1 meters from 100 km/h to 0 km/h, ranking 17th in braking performance, with only the 2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 4.8T (36.03 meters) ahead, showing a minimal difference.

Compared to the aforementioned competitors, the Audi Q7 has a significant advantage in braking performance. The braking curve indicates strong braking force, dropping to -1.2g during the initial braking phase, while maintaining a braking force of around -1g for most of the time.

In addition to the exceptional quality of the braking system itself, the four Pirelli SCORPIONVERDE tires sized 285/45R20, a good suspension system, and a lightweight body specification are also crucial for achieving such outstanding results. The braking performance from 100 to 0 km/h is ensured by four 285 mm wide Bridgestone Powerman tires, with the Q7 achieving impressive results in braking tests.

During full braking, the forward pitch is relatively small, reflecting its excellent posture as a comfortable mid-large SUV. This also indicates that the chassis design does not solely pursue a 'soft' feeling but also possesses good dynamic response capabilities.
