Audi plans vast range of Q7 sport utilities

Audi's first bona-fide SUV isn't even here yet, and already it's multiplying. In addition to the V8 model coming this June ($50,620), the Four-Ringed-One plans to introduce a V8 Premium trim level, which will ring up at $60,620. With all mod cons, expect the eight-cylinder Q7 to lighten your children's trust funds by about $65k, putting it smack in the range of offerings like Porsche's low-end Cayennes, Mercedes M-class, and the Range Rover Sport, currently parked in the Autoblog Garage.

Additionally, a cheaper V6-powered Q7 will hit the U.S. a few months later, and according to Edmund's Inside Line, turbodiesel and hybrid drivetrains will be in the mix for MY 2008.
