The A7 Sportback is pure high-tech. Its body is very lightweight thanks to
numerous aluminum components. The elegant interior shows a craftsman's level of
workmanship. The four V6 engines combine refined power with groundbreaking
efficiency. The 3.0 TDI with 204 hp and multitronic has CO2 emissions of just
223.70 g/mile (139 grams per kilometer). The sporty chassis comes with new
solutions, such as electromechanical power steering. When it comes to assistance
and infotainment systems, the luxury-class coupe exhibits all of the innovative
power expected of Audi.
Audi A7 is Comfortable, Even at High Speed
The five-door coupe from Audi combines supreme, long-distance comfort with a
sporty character. The interior noise level is very low even at fast highway
speeds, with the V6 engines providing refined acoustic feedback as their power
unfolds.
The excellent vibrational comfort likewise contributes to the
atmosphere of cultured tranquility on board. This is the result of painstakingly
tuning all components, systematic hydraulic damping in the axle and drivetrain
bearings and the extremely stiff body. The body is comprised primarily of
aluminum and high-tech steels, making it extremely lightweight and safe. The
large rear hatch opens wide to reveal a large, extremely usable luggage
compartment that is very easy to load. Its 18.89 cu-ft capacity swells to a
volume of 49.09 cu-ft (1,390 liters) with the rear seat backrests folded down.
The Exterior
With the A7 Sportback, which will be rolling into
dealerships in the fall at a base price of 51,600 EUR in Germany, Audi is taking up a new design line representing
elegance on a grand scale. The five-door coupe is 195.7 inches long and 75.2
inches wide, but only 55.9 inches high. Its long hood, the short front overhang,
the long wheelbase, the sportily flowing C-pillars and the sharply dropping rear
create a dynamic overall impression. The five-door coupe is an aesthetic athlete
with a wide, powerful road stance.
Optional LED headlights reinforce the
unmistakable expression of the A7 Sportback and provide all light functions with
light-emitting diodes while minimizing energy consumption. Bi-xenon headlights
and LED tail lights come standard. The innovative all-weather light function has
also been integrated into the headlights, replacing the classic fog lights.
