Design & Presence

The Audi A7 wears its ambition lightly: a sleek, five-door Sportback silhouette that reads more coupé than executive hatch and measures roughly 4.97–5.01 metres in length, giving it a low, elongated stance. The light signatures and taut surfaces are modern and restrained, with optional matrix LEDs sharpening the night-time presence. The overall look is quietly authoritative rather than ostentatious, making the A7 equally at home at a client meeting or a fast motorway run. Tight panel gaps and elegant proportions underline Audi’s intent to blend elegance with a hint of sportiness.

Interior & Usability

Step inside and the A7 feels like a premium cabin with purpose: high-quality materials, clean lines and seats that prioritize support over fussy styling. Audi’s twin-screen layout and the optional Virtual Cockpit deliver sharp graphics and well-structured menus, though the touch interfaces can demand attention while driving. The model is listed with a four-seat layout that gives genuine rear comfort for two adults, emphasizing individual space rather than a crowded bench. Storage is sensible rather than cavernous, with a 535-litre boot that swallows weekend luggage and expands to a maximum of 1,390 litres when needed.

Space & Everyday Practicality

The sloping roofline trades a little rear headroom for drama, so taller passengers will appreciate the front seats on long trips, while the cabin width and length make the A7 feel spacious overall. With widths around 1.90–1.95 metres and near-5-metre length, it occupies executive-class space but still fits most city parking with care. Boot access via the hatch is practical — a low loading lip and wide opening — and the 535/1,390-litre figures handle groceries, golf bags or a stroller without fuss. Payloads in the mid-500 kg range mean luggage and occupants are comfortably accommodated, though those needing true modularity might still prefer an estate or SUV.

Driving & Handling

The A7’s chassis aims for a blend of comfort and composure: adaptive air suspension smooths long motorway miles while keeping body control tight through bends. Buyers can choose front-wheel drive for milder engines or Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive for added traction and confidence in poor conditions. Kerb weights span roughly 1,770 to over 2,100 kg, so the car feels substantial, but power outputs range from about 204 hp diesels with 0–100 km/h times in the high 7s to RS models that hit the mid‑3s, allowing buyers to prioritise economy or pace. Steering is precise rather than tactile, rewarding measured inputs and delivering practical sportiness rather than racetrack theatrics.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Fuel consumption covers a broad spectrum: efficient diesel MHEVs can return around 5.4–6.5 L/100 km on mixed use, while hot petrol and RS variants are thirstier, typically 8–12 L/100 km in normal driving. Plug-in hybrids claim very low combined figures — approximately 1.2–1.3 L/100 km — thanks to an electric range of about 67–68 km from roughly a 14.4 kWh battery, which in real life can cover the majority of daily commutes on electric power alone. On longer trips the combustion engine resumes normal consumption, so the PHEV makes most sense for those who can charge regularly. For long-distance touring the diesel options remain the most economical choice on motorways.

Assistance & Infotainment

The A7 is well equipped with driver aids: adaptive cruise control, lane assistance and intelligent park systems reduce stress in traffic and tight manoeuvres, while a comprehensive sensor package helps with low-speed parking. Infotainment revolves around Audi’s high-resolution touchscreens and the MMI Touch, offering crisp mapping, smartphone mirroring and potent sound-system options for long journeys. The reliance on touch controls can mean more time looking down than with physical knobs, but the display clarity and voice functions mitigate that for most users. Connected services and update capabilities keep navigation and telematics current, a practical bonus for tech-aware executives.

Who is it for?

The A7 suits buyers who want executive presence with a sporting tilt: people who favour a coupé-like silhouette over a traditional saloon while still needing real luggage space and long-distance comfort. Choose a diesel MHEV for high-mileage motorway work, a PHEV if daily commutes can be charged and prioritise electric driving, or step up to the S/RS variants for genuine performance and drama. Its blend of luxury, technology and usability makes the A7 an appealing alternative to an SUV for style-conscious professionals who value driving manners as much as image. With a wide spectrum of engines and specifications — from frugal diesels to 600+ hp RS models and 67–68 km electric-capable PHEVs — matching engine choice to real needs will be the key decision for buyers.
