Specs for all generations of Audi A7

“Sportback” indicates the particular body style of the A7 model. It offers the spacious interior of a sedan, but is a 5-door liftback, featuring a sloping roofline, a truncated rear end, with a tailgate that is hinged at the roof and is lifted to open.

Following its strategy of digitalization, Audi used plenty of technology in the 2017 A7 interior. It features 2 displays in the central console, that replace physical buttons and controls – a 10.1-inch upper display, through which the driver can manage the infotainment system, and a 8.6-inch lower display to control the climate control system, comfort functions and text input. A head-up display is not fitted as standard, but is available as an option.

Audi A7 has all the features needed to make a good family car and there’s no reason why it can’t be used as such. It offers spacious interior and boot space, comfort for both short and long drives, and an extensive range of safety technologies. An only drawback would be the model’s running cost, which can go up significantly, with the vehicle being used as a daily driver around the city.

Despite Audi having a mixed reputation for its models’ reliability, most A7 owners are actually satisfied with their vehicles’ dependability. They enjoy the luxurious ride and sophisticated high-quality design, both on the outside and on the inside. A common negative, however, is the high cost of maintenance when such is needed, and loss of resale value, once the car is out of warranty.

Production of current Audi A7 vehicles (as of 2021), is being carried out at Audi's Neckarsulm plant, where cars have been built for over 100 years. Other Audi models that are being produced in the same plant are the Audi A4, Audi A5 Cabriolet, Audi A6, and Audi A8 and their derivatives.
