Today Audi released pricing on the new 2010 Q7 TDI SUV as well as other models in the line. The 3.0 diesel powered Q7 will start at $50,900 which is right in the middle between the $46,900 3.6 base V6 and the $61,000 4.2 V8. All of which of course feature Quattro all-wheel-drive.

Audi launched the Q7 TDI clean diesel last spring here in the States. Using the long-standing 20-year expertise of the Audi brand with TDI Power, this vehicle uses an innovative system that provides ULEV (Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) clean emissions available in all 50 U.S. states. With an estimated 17mpg city and 25 mpg highway, the Q7 achieves over 600 miles per tank of fuel in highway cruising. While it may not sound like a lot, it equates to 30% better fuel economy than a comparable V6 gasoline engine.
To help offset the price of ownership, the Audi Q7 TDI qualifies for a $1,150 Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit from the Internal Revenue Service for a limited time due to the fuel efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions of its clean diesel technology.
