Which is the most popular engine in the Audi A7?

The diesel engines have been by far the most popular options with the Audi A7. Specifically the 3.0-litre TDI V6 is the most popular, because of its outstanding performance yet fantastic fuel economy of 50mpg+.

Which are the most popular model variants?

New A7 models are available in several variants, including Sport, S Line and Black Edition. The S Line and Black Edition have been among the favourites with their upgraded equipment. A newer S Line comes with privacy glass and 20-inch wheels, while the Black Edition adds a sport contour leather-wrapped steering wheel.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Customers should look out for the available Technology Package that bundles the 360° camera with a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system. It also comes with a multi-coloured LED interior lighting pack, a head-up display and a remote parking assistant.

Is the Audi A7 a good family car?

Yes, the Audi A7 is a spacious car that can carry up to five adults. The boot space is also large, more than the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé and Mercedes-Benz CLS.

Is there a hybrid version of the Audi A7?

There has been a plug-in hybrid A7 available, known as the 55 TFSI e. This powertrain offers 355bhp for a 0-60mph time of 5.5 seconds. When charged, it allows up to 25 miles of electric-only driving before transitioning to electric power.

Is the Audi A7 available as an automatic?

The Audi A7 has only been built with an automatic transmission. Audi has never offered a manual gearbox with the A7.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Yes, Audi has provided both front- and four-wheel drive A7 models. The four-wheel drive system, known as quattro, is much more popular than the front-wheel drive configuration, so it is much easier to find among used examples.

Used Audi A7 buying guide

Engines and transmissions

Audi has built the A7 with petrol, hybrid and diesel engines, a variety of automatic transmissions, and either front- or four-wheel drive, known as quattro.

Petrol

45 TFSI generates either 241bhp or 261bhp for a 6.0-second 0-60mph time, rated at up to 36mpg, depending on the variant.
Plug-in 50 TFSI generates 294bhp for a 6.1-second 0-60mph time and up to 40 miles of electric-only driving.
Plug-in hybrid 55 TFSI e offers 361bhp, reducing the 0-60mph time to 5.5 seconds and allowing up to 25 miles of electric-only driving per charge.
Hybrid 55 TFSI generates 335bhp, reaches 60mph in 5.1 seconds and has a fuel economy rating of 33.2mpg.

Diesel

40 TDI outputs 201bhp for a 6.8-second 0-60mph time and an efficiency rating of up to 49.7mpg, depending on the variant.
Older 3.0-litre TDI engines had various outputs between 227bhp and 344bhp, with fuel economy between 35.8mpg and 39.8mpg.

A diesel-electric mild hybrid was also previously available that produced 281bhp from a 3.0-litre engine and achieved 39.8mpg.

Practicality

The Audi A7 is a practical executive model, designed to offer passengers a comfortable experience while providing top tech features.

Interior space

Front seats can have electric adjustments, heating and lumbar support for a more enjoyable drive.
Three people fit comfortably in the rear seat, with taller people having more room in the outer seats.
ISOFIX mounting points for child seats can be easily accessed through the wide-opening rear doors.

Boot space

535-litre boot is much bigger than the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé and slightly larger than the Mercedes-Benz CLS.
40:20:40 split rear seats allow for carrying rear passengers and longer luggage items.
With all of the rear seats down, the boot capacity expands to 1,390 litres.

Safety

2018 Euro NCAP rating was a perfect five stars.
93% given for adult occupant, with child occupant at 85%.
Standard kit includes 10 airbags, seat-belt monitoring and pre-sense emergency mitigation technology.

Technology

10.1-inch infotainment display gives access to Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
8.6-inch display sits below the infotainment screen and is used for heating and ventilation.
12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit display can show speed and other pertinent data, as well as satnav directions.
10-speaker sound system is sufficient, but there's also an available Bang & Olufsen premium system with 16 or 19 speakers attached.

Different generations of used Audi A7

To compete against the Mercedes-Benz CLS, Audi took the Sportback Concept and turned it into the A7 in 2010. It came with a longer and sleeker body than the A6, but shared a lot of the same design features. Now in its second generation, Audi continues to update the lineup's technology and exterior to ensure that it remains competitive and relevant for today's buyers.

Second Generation (2018 to 2018)

With the release of the second generation, Audi made sure that the main design elements of the A7 were carried over, but with some important enhancements. The goal was to improve the look of the A7 with more pronounced contours as well as improve its driving dynamics.

Carrying over the digitalisation from the A8 models, the A7 received upgraded technology. Frameless windows were also carried over, ensuring that the Sportback retained its sleek fastback appearance.

First Generation (2010 to 2018)

The A7 was built to stand out in the luxury car market, with the styling features of an estate wagon, saloon and coupé wrapped into one package. From the front, the A7 had a large single-frame grille, similar to that found on the A8. From the side, the sloping roofline stood out and a retractable rear spoiler gave it a sporty look.

In 2014, a refresh was offered with more striking changes to the bumper and grille, while Matrix LED headlights became available. Unique indicator lights were also added, while the taillights received a redesign.
