Based on the new user account, I'd guess their question was framed as though you are getting the next gen Q7 (which most here know won't likely be available until this time next year). The next gen Q7 will almost certainly have one hybrid engine option with regenerative braking.
Dutch, I'll assume you're not playing dumb (wink), but regenerative braking is tech that is typically available in hybrid internal combustion+electric motor combinations like the current Cayenne and Touareg. It's a system that helps recharge the main electric drive battery during braking.
KERS is another regenerative technology that may end up in some of these "Eco" inspired powertrains, but it is for the most part, purely mechanical- storing kinetic energy in a high speed flywheel to be later accessed during vehicle acceleration. It seems a bit "steam punk", but quite a few F1 teams use it where the rules allow, so it's considered high tech.

From my original post, it's pretty obvious that I am not buying a next gen model or one with a hybrid; and, no, I had no idea what that kind of braking is, since I don't and never would own a hybrid.
