Is the Audi A7 a good car? 

The Audi A7 is built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform, which it shares with the A5, A5, A6, A8 and even the Porsche Macan, making it safe to assume that it is a very a very good car.

 

Who is the Audi A7 a good car for?

The A7 is the ideal car for those looking for a sportier version of a traditional executive saloon, with its sloping roofline and more dramatic styling.

Is the Audi A7 a good first car?

The A7 measures nearly 5.0-metres long and has a large, turbocharged petrol engine and a high list price, making it less than ideal for first-time drivers.

The A7 has a sloping roofline, however, despite this there is still 535-litres of boot space which expands to 1 390-litres with the rear seats folded flat, making this good for families.

The local A7 line-up is powered by a turbo petrol engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system (MHEV) which makes the product lighter on fuel.

What’s it like to drive? 

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
