The Audi A7 is produced in Germany, in Russia it is presented in three trim levels: Advance, Sport and Design. These are not just configurations, but lines of executions. There is a basic package on which you can install any options, because to some extent Audi is a designer. And you, as a user, determine what you want to see in your car.   

There are three types of optics to choose from:

• LED front and rear lights. Plus, the taillights have dynamic turn signals; and the front ones have electronic control of the headlight angle and all-weather lighting, and can “look” around turns. Optionally, you can set the high beam on and off, as well as headlight washers; LED Audi Matrix LED (12 LEDs in a row).
• The front turn signals become dynamic, as do the rear ones. There is a system that detects other road users and automatically dims the light only in the field of recognized vehicles;
• Audi Matrix LED with laser high beam, which operates at speeds from 70 km/h. These headlights illuminate the road ahead.

Under the hood of the Audi A7, one of two engine options can be installed: 45 TFSI (2 liters, petrol, 245 hp, 370 N*m torque) and 55 TFSI - 6-cylinder V-twin engine (3 liters, petrol , 340 hp, 500 N*m torque). Both engines are Euro 6 rated and are paired with a 7-speed S Tronic automatic transmission. Let's consider each option separately.   

The car with 45 TFSI accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds and fuel consumption per 100 km is 6.8 liters. This engine has a 12-volt on-board network.

A car with 55 TFSI accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. Fuel consumption per 100 km is 6.9 liters. The second type of engine has a 48-volt on-board network. The A7 has a lithium-ion battery and a “mild” hybrid, which adds torque at the moment of launch and makes the engine start invisible. That is, when starting the engine or starting, no additional noise or vibration is created.

Both engines feature the new generation Quattro Ultra all-wheel drive. It allows you to transfer up to 100% of the power to the front wheels. That is, we can say that the car is primarily front-wheel drive, but if necessary, up to 60% of the torque can be transmitted to the rear axle. The process of connecting all-wheel drive is so fast that you, as a driver, will never feel it. Unlike the classic Quattro drive, it saves fuel consumption by 0.3 liters per 100 km.

There are 20 wheel options to choose from, ranging from R18 to R21. In terms of sound insulation, the rear and front wheel arches are upholstered in felt material, which minimizes noise entering the vehicle interior.

The manufacturer offers a choice of 4 suspension options: standard (spring with shock absorbers, ground clearance - 16cm); sports (spring with shock absorbers, but more rigid; ground clearance - 15cm); suspension with electronically controlled shock absorber stiffness; adaptive air suspension. Now a little more about the fourth suspension option. It allows you not only to change the stiffness of the shock absorbers, but also to adjust the ground clearance.

Another nice option is the rear axle steering system. When a car is traveling at speeds up to 60 km/h, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction from the front ones, and at speeds above 60 km/h, the front and rear wheels move in the same direction. This allows the car to be more maneuverable.

A few words about the body of the Audi A7. Guarantee against through corrosion – 10 years. There are 20 color options to choose from. Black and white colors are already included in the price of the car. For the rest, an additional payment of 76 thousand rubles is required. A huge range of colors is also offered in the Audi Exclusive section: the price starts from 203 thousand rubles.

The car warranty is 2 years without mileage limitation or 4 years with a mileage limitation of 120 thousand km. Service interval – 15 thousand km or once a year. No maintenance or running-in is required. However, it is not recommended to operate the car “at full power” for the first 2 thousand km and to use brake discs and pads at 100% capacity for the first 400 km. We would like to mention that all Audi vehicles come with lifetime roadside assistance. If you have any accident on the roads: puncture or damage to a tire; battery discharge; road accident; occurrence of a malfunction; locking the doors, trunk, hood, ignition switch, steering column or gear selector; If a situation arises that leads to the need for fuel supply, Audi will support you. This service will be valid indefinitely only if all maintenance is completed at an official dealer.

First generation 4G, 2010-2018

In the Audi model range, the fastback A7 is located between the Audi A6 and A7. The stylish aerodynamic body of the car has a drag coefficient of 0.28 - one of the best indicators in the class. This result was achieved, among other things, thanks to the special shape of the rear spoiler, equipped with an automatic extension function at speeds above 130 km/h. The length of the fastback is almost 5 meters and the width is 1910 mm. At the same time, the body height is only 1420 mm, but the low roof and wide body give the car sportiness and dynamism.

Audi A7 interior

The front doors of the Audi A7 have an electric lock for maximum ease and comfort of door opening. Optionally, you can install keyless entry and door closers. All trim levels have double front windows to improve sound insulation. Rear double windows can be ordered for an additional fee. The interior design looks harmonious. As an additional option, you can order leather upholstery for the upper part of the central panel, the side of the central tunnel, and the door card. Inserts can be made of wood or aluminum. And you can always choose something interesting in the Audi Exclusive section: there are 26 trim options available. Audi lets you choose. The glove box is of good quality, the inside is lined with soft fabric and can be locked with a key.

The Audi A7 can be equipped with one of 4 types of front seats:

• the basic ones have adjustments in height and back and forth, in the angle of the backrest and optional adjustment of the seat cushion. Lateral support is not very developed;
• comfortable seats have pneumatic adjustment of lateral support. Plus, the seat pad is electrically adjustable;
• sports seats have an independent headrest and more developed lateral support;
• S-model sports seats.

Optionally, for 110 thousand rubles, you can order massage and seat ventilation. But there is a nuance: you can install ventilation on the basic seats, and ventilation and massage on the comfortable ones. However, these two options are not provided on sports seats. Ventilation has 3 airflow modes. What about massage? There are 7 massage options available, which are carried out using 10 elements built into the seats.

The front seats are very comfortable and can comfortably accommodate passengers of various sizes. With the seat pushed back as far as possible, a person 190 cm tall can easily stretch his legs forward. The back of the seat is lowered as horizontally as possible - to the rear row seat.

A roof with a panoramic view. It is large: exactly half of the roof is covered with glass (panorama hatch), which can be opened completely or “for ventilation”.

Also in the Audi Exclusive section you can choose the color of the seat belts; for this option you need to pay approximately 160-170 thousand rubles.

In the Audi A7, the central armrest is adjustable not only back and forth, but also in height, which will allow a driver of any height to comfortably fit.

The manufacturer offers two types of steering wheel: 3-spoke or 4-spoke. Moreover, the first option is also divided into two types: round or with a beveled bottom. The 4-spoke steering wheel can be with or without paddle shifters. Optionally, you can install a heated steering wheel. On the left side is control of the on-board computer, on the right is control of the multimedia system and activation of voice control. There is also an additional button that you can program yourself by attaching any “widget” to it within the multimedia system.

When sitting on the second row of seats, a passenger 190 cm tall will touch the wheel arch, which causes some discomfort. There is quite a lot of space in the back row. The back has well-developed lateral support, the ischial pad does not have it.

Although the Audi A7 is a coupe-shaped car, the headroom ratio for the rear passenger is decent. The Audi A7 is positioned as a car for 4 passengers, that is, it has only 4 seat belts. But for an additional fee, you can install a seat belt and head restraint in the rear center seat. Due to the presence of a large central tunnel, the movement of a passenger in the middle on the back row of seats will be uncomfortable. The rear seats fold in a 40:20:40 ratio, meaning all seats fold independently of each other. For the comfort of rear passengers, an armrest, 2 USB connectors, a 12V socket, an Isofix system, optional 4-zone climate control and heated seats are offered. Moreover, using a USB connector you can not only recharge your phone, but also transfer “content” to the multimedia system.

The rear design of the Audi A7 is beautiful, aesthetic and sporty; there is a spoiler that automatically raises at speeds above 110 km/h and folds down at speeds below 70 km/h. At high speeds, the spoiler allows the car to better “snuggle” to the ground, thereby improving “adhesion” to the road.

In all trim levels, the trunk lid has an electric drive. Optionally, you can install a rear view camera with washer. The luggage compartment of the Audi A7 is right head start; it is equipped with hooks, a mesh, and a 12V socket. Under the false floor there is a spare tire, a set of necessary tools and a subwoofer. Since this is not a classic sedan, but a liftback, you can transport a large amount of luggage. You can remove the “curtain” and large luggage will fit in the trunk. Trunk dimensions: volume – 535 liters, with the second row seats folded – 1390 liters; doorway width – 100cm; height from floor to ceiling – 69cm, from floor to “curtain” – 44cm; width in front of the wheel arches – 126cm, in the area of ​​the wheel arches – 105cm; depth – 118cm; the distance from the trunk lid to the back of the folded second row seat is 180 cm, from the trunk lid to the central armrest – 200 cm; diagonal – 230cm; loading height – 65cm.

Adaptive cruise control with the Stop & Go function allows you to move around the expanses of our homeland without using the gas-brake pedal. You reach a speed of 30 km/h, turn on cruise control, select the distance to the car in front and press the “Save Speed” button. After which your car will not accelerate above the set speed and will adapt to the flow. However, this system turns off if the vehicle in front does not move for one minute.

• The Front Assist system operates at speeds of up to 85 km/h and allows you to recognize pedestrians and cyclists. If you are distracted, it will operate the brake system to stop the car. This system also detects the vehicle ahead: in this case it will operate at speeds from 0 to 250 km/h;
• The Audi Pre sense basic assistant automatically takes preventive measures to protect the driver and passengers: the seat belts are pretensioned, the windows and panoramic roof are closed, and the seats are moved as far back as possible.

Another very useful and necessary “City” package:

• The door opening warning system, using numerous sensors, detects nearby traffic and signals danger. It is active for three minutes from the moment the engine is turned off;
• The rear cross traffic assistant detects vehicles behind you and alerts you to danger in the event of a collision. If necessary, this assistant can exert maximum influence on the braking system to stop the car. The system operates at speeds up to 10 km/h;
• Audi Pre sense rear monitors the position of vehicles behind using radar sensors at speeds of up to 250 km/h. If another car is approaching you and there is a danger of colliding with it, the system reacts in three stages: first, it warns with a rapid flashing of the hazard warning light; then closes the windows and hatch; In the event of an imminent collision, the system pretensions the front passengers' seat belts. This assistant is disabled when towing a trailer.

;

• Turning assistant: operates at speeds up to 10 km/h. When turning, in the event of a dangerous situation, the system forces the car to stop;
• The automatic parking system allows you to park your car without having to maneuver the steering wheel. In this case, it only affects the steering wheel;
• The night view camera detects pedestrians and animals and highlights them on the screen in yellow or red depending on how close they are to the vehicle.
