Key Features and Technologies
Supercharged Performance for a Full-Size SUV
The CRE engine uses a roots-type supercharger instead of a turbocharger, providing instant torque delivery and smooth acceleration—especially important in a heavier vehicle like the Q7.
Balanced Power and Practicality
Despite its strong 333 hp output, the engine maintains reasonable fuel efficiency for an SUV of its size. It delivers solid towing capacity and smooth high-speed cruising, making it ideal for both city driving and long family road trips.
Advanced FSI Direct Injection
Audi’s Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) system ensures efficient fuel combustion, improving both power output and fuel economy while reducing emissions.
Audi Valvelift System
This variable valve lift system adapts to driving demands in real time, allowing the engine to maximize efficiency during light driving and increase airflow when more power is needed.
Reliable and Well-Engineered
Built for durability and consistent performance, the CRE engine is well-suited for long-term use, even under heavier SUV workloads. Proper maintenance ensures the engine remains dependable over high mileage.
