SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE
Leaving Others in Its Wake
The 2019 Audi A7 packs style and substance into a unique package. The four-ringed brand managed to one-up other carmakers looking to craft high-style vehicles out of regular sedans by adding a streamlined hatchback to the A6 and giving the result plenty of technology and performance features.
Powertrains and Performance
The A7 is more than just a pretty face; it’s not just a proper performance vehicle with the power and handling to match its sleek styling. It’s also incredibly versatile.
Powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, the Audi A7 is now producing 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It’s connected to a 7-speed automatic transmission, and all A7 models come with Audi’s quattro® all-wheel drive with ultra® technology standard. Always ensuring that power goes to the right wheels in a variety of situations, the intelligent all-wheel-drive system improves handling and makes the A7 so much more than a commuter car.
With a jaw-dropping 0 to 60 time of 5.2 seconds and a top track speed of 130 mph, this luxurious hatchback is as responsive as it is beautiful and will easily manage whatever you throw its way.
Features and Trims
The 2019 Audi A7 is a mid-size five-door hatchback that builds on the platform of the Audi A6 sedan, but it adds the versatility and convenience of a hatchback. Offered in three trim levels, the Audi A7 has plenty of options to meet your needs with prices starting at $68,000.*
The base A7 model is the Premium. Standard equipment includes a 10-speaker sound system, LED headlights, panoramic sunroof, power tailgate, three-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, and Audi’s MMI infotainment system with a seven-inch display screen, among many other features.
Moving up the Premium Plus trim you gain additional features like Audi virtual cockpit, Bang & Olufsen® Premium 3D sound system with 16-speakers, wireless phone charging, Audi side assist and pre sense® rear, headlight washers, and LED tail lights with animation.
The A7 Prestige includes all of the standard features from the Premium Plus and also includes heated and ventilated 12-way power front seats, a heads-up display with navigation and assistance systems information, power soft-closing doors, four-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated 12-way front seats, and a power rear window shade.
Design
The 2019 Audi A7 stands out, even in a relatively small niche of the luxury-car market. It’s a competitor to the “four-door coupes” from BMW and Mercedes, in that it’s a restyled version of an existing four-door sedan. But the A7’s hatchback gives it a unique profile and one that arguably fulfills the style quotient better than the stubby trunks of the competition.
The long hood and sculpted fenders complement the Singleframe® grille that marks the A7 as unmistakably Audi. Adorned with LED lights, the A7 has molded the new design language of Audi into a muscular yet modern take on the German style Audi is recognized for.
Audi also continues to have some of the best interiors in the business. The A7’s cabin features high-quality materials and a design that’s not overwrought. Technology features include an updated version of Audi’s MMI system, as well as Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, SiriusXM®, and navigation.
Safety
Standard safety equipment on the 2019 Audi A7 includes anti-lock brakes, Electronic Stability Control with off-road mode, secondary collision brake assist, traction control, a rearview camera, indirect tire pressure monitor system, Audi pre sense front and basic, and parking system plus. Optional equipment includes night vision with large animal and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, active lane assist, traffic sign recognition, and intersection assist.
Bottom Line
The 2019 A7 is a stylish alternative to traditional luxury sedans, giving you more versatility, safety, and technology, wrapped in a stunning design that could only come from Audi.
