First Take
The coupe-like A7 is lower and more firmly sprung than the A6 it's based on and sacrifices some comfort for sportiness. It has coupe-like styling, but the cargo flexibility of a hatchback. Its 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 is mated to Audi's excellent eight-speed automatic. The interior is very luxurious and features an available heads-up display. The rather daunting control interface has a touchpad for destination entry in the now-standard navigation system. A WiFi hotspot is also offered. A sportier S7 with a 4.0-liter turbo V8 is available, and new to the line are a higher-performance RS 7 with a 560-hp V8 and a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine.

Model History
2019-
Current Generation

The redesigned Audi A7 places even stronger emphasis on luxury and high-tech features than its predecessor. It maintains the same swept-back profile as the previous generation, and is a more stylish take on the A6 with the practical benefit of a hatchback. Powering the base A7 is a 335-hp, twin-turbocharged V6 engine coupled to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. This mild-hybrid powertrain includes a 48-volt electrical system to ensure accessories don't tax fuel economy. Inside, there is a new control system consisting of two touch screens but it proves fairly easy to use. Fit and finish and seat comfort are superb. A smaller 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine along with higher output turbo V6 and V8 engines will be added later. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard. For 2022, the Premium model gets a larger 10.1-inch navigation screen, standard rear side airbags, and a direct tire pressure monitoring system.

2012 Redesign Year
The ride height of coupelike A7 is lower than the A6 and the car is more firmly sprung. As is to be expected, in exchange for its sleek appearance, the sedan also sacrifices some interior comfort for sportiness. However, the A7 also presents the cargo flexibility of a hatchback. Its 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 is mated to Audi's excellent eight-speed automatic transmission. In our tests, the diesel version returned an excellent 28 mpg overall. (However, keep in mind the diesel is under a cloud of emissions controls violations and may not be the best move to make as far as resale value is concerned.) The interior is very luxurious and features an available head-up display that projects information on the windshield. The MMI interface adds a touchpad control for destination entry in the navigation system, which offers a Google maps display. WiFi hotspot capability is also offered.
