Deliveries of right-hand-drive versions of Audi AG’s Q7 e-tron plug-in hybrid crossover vehicle have been delayed several months due to supply issues.
Buyers say they ordered their vehicles as long ago as June and were supposed to take delivery in September. Some received notification that their vehicle was built and shipped to Britain in late summer but was being held for unspecified reasons, Autocar reports.
The holdup is due to issues with components specific to the right-hand drive models, Audi officials tell the U.K.-based enthusiast magazine. Without saying when the vehicles will be ready, the company promises to update customers soon to “confirm next steps.” In the meantime, Audi is supplying courtesy vehicles to affected customers.
The all-wheel-drive Q7 e-tron teams a 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine and 8-speed transmission with a 94-kW electric motor and 17.3-kW lithium-ion battery pack. The combination generates 373 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.
