Generations 4L and 4M
The first-generation 4L (2005–2015) is based on the PL71 platform shared with the VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. The current 4M (from 2015) uses the MLB Evo platform with significant weight reduction. The 4M brings the virtual cockpit, advanced driver assistance systems, optional air suspension and TFSI e plug-in hybrid variants. The SQ7 is the sporty high-performance version with a 4.0 TDI or TFSI V8 engine.
