Reviewer's opinion
The four-wheel driven A7 is every inch a premium, ultra-luxe, sporty grand tourer. If you want a premium family sedan that enjoys more status than a Maserati Levante SUV (from R 1 820 000) and will make you feel more like a Netflix movie star at the pinnacle of his/her career, the drop-dead gorgeous A7 Sportback is your car. - Ané Theron, AutoTrader

What does it look like?
Style
The interior fuses design and technology in a unique way. The interior of the new Audi A7 Sportback dazzles with its futuristic lounge atmosphere. With a large panoramic glass sunroof as standard, the interior lounge of the A7 brightens up. Its reduced, clean design language is based in a one-of-a-kind balance of tension and coolness. The horizontal lines and sleek instrument panel provide for a feeling of airy spaciousness. The centre console is oriented toward the driver, underscoring the Gran Turismo’s sporty character. Four key values characterize the interior concept: progressiveness, sportiness, intuitiveness and sophistication. - Audi.

Interior
What is the Audi Q8 like inside?
The cockpit architecture harmonizes perfectly with the new, digital operating concept, which incorporates two large touchscreens. They provide haptic and acoustic feedback when clicking on the touch controls. When off, the top display slots almost invisibly into the large black decorative surface. All elements refer logically to one another, from the flat air vent strip to the wide console on the centre tunnel. The optional contour ambient lighting package illuminates the interior in the dark. Convenient equipment options include four-zone automatic air conditioning (standard), a power-assist function to close the doors quietly and the Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System. - Audi
