As a luxury hatchback, the Audi A7 is unusual. Yet it's a terrifically impressive machine, with a supple interior, strong engine and surprisingly sporty handling. There aren't many faults. However, its touchscreen can be distracting to use, so be sure to check it out before buying.

2024 Audi A7 Review

byDan Frio^{Reviews Editor
Dan spent many years covering the go-fast, look-good, get-loud corners of the automotive universe. First, he served as editor of enthusiast magazines AutoSound and Honda Tuning, then as executive editor at SEMA News, the publishing arm of the trade group that produces the annual SEMA Show (yes, that show). As a contributor to Edmunds, he now likes to keep the volume low and the speed limit legal, providing expert car-shopping advice to drivers looking for the perfect match.}

Pros

Strong acceleration and confident handling
Attractive and refined interior
Comfort in spades
Lots of high-tech features

Cons

Infotainment interface can be distracting
Sloping roofline limits rear headroom
More expensive than the similar A6

What's new

New grille design
Audi Connect app adds remote start capability
Minor feature shuffling
Part of the second A7 generation introduced in 2019

Overview

With its sporty coupe profile, four doors and ample cargo space, the 2024 Audi A7 adds style and versatility to traditional sedan design. The A7 builds on the strengths of Audi's A6, one of our top-rated luxury sedans, with a sleek look and nearly double the cargo capacity. It comes with the same robust V6 engine, same lush cabin and tech features, and escalating luxuries, including heated rear seats and massaging front seats. The A7 sacrifices some headroom for its slick shape — about an inch less than the A6 — but it's a reasonable trade for the extra utility.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Audi A7 Premium 4dr Sedan AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Fashionable function

The A7 is based on the regular A6 sedan, along with wagon variants like the A6 Allroad and high-performance RS 6 Avant. The A7 combines a mix of the body styles, offering the practicality of four doors, the low-slung style of a sport sedan, and the cargo utility of a compact SUV. It's ideal for buyers who want more function without the look of a wagon or height of an SUV. Compared to the A6, the A7 is about an inch lower, wider and longer and offers an inch less headroom front and rear. But the open cabin and liftback design yields 24.9 cubic feet of cargo space, nearly as much as Audi's Q5 compact SUV.

Competitors to consider

The A7 isn't the only coupe-style sedan, but the liftback design is rare. The Mercedes-Benz CLS was the first popular "coupe sedan" but its conventional trunk limited cargo space to 12 cubic feet, and Mercedes killed it for the 2024 model year. Another Benz, the pricier AMG GT, is a liftback but isn't much roomier. The BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is yet another coupe-style sedan and offers a 15.5-cubic-foot trunk. The Porsche Panamera liftback offers a roomy cargo area, but you pay dearly for it. Ironically, the recently discontinued Kia Stinger is an A7-inspired design, with similar power, style and utility for nearly half the price.

Great

8.1

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the A7 drive? Acceleration is strong. Our test A7 logged the 0-60 sprint in just 4.7 seconds. It also posted short emergency-stopping distances, though much of the credit went to our test car's optional summer performance tires. Fitted with the optional S Line sport package, the A7 handles surprisingly well. But there's quite a difference in steering feel across the driving modes — Comfort is almost too light, while Dynamic tends to feel needlessly heavy in some situations.

The power delivery when leaving a stop can be a little jerky, which is somewhat unrefined for a car of this class. Sport mode helps smooth out the delivery a bit and doesn't hang onto gears unnecessarily long. Upshifts are nearly imperceptible no matter which gear you're in or how much throttle you're giving it.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the A7? The A7 is a comfortable cruiser offering a smooth ride over a variety of surfaces. The base seats feel great but don't have as many adjustments as those in rivals. Massaging seats with more customization are available, but they are expensive. The climate control system works great.

While the engine is barely audible at highway speeds, there's more wind and road noise than we'd expect for this class. Ambient noises from outside the car seep in readily too. None of it is terribly distracting, however, and keeping the radio at even a low level will drown it all out. You'll always feel the aforementioned driveline shocks in first gear.

Build & Price

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The swoopy roofline suggests rear visibility will suffer, but the A7 actually has excellent sight lines all around. Alas, the slinky profile hampers rear headroom and can make it tricky to get in and out. It's not the most spacious midsize car, so if you sit in the rear behind a tall person, you'll need to scrunch and rotate your body 90 degrees before exiting.

Audi's latest dual-panel touchscreen is attractive but difficult to use. Navigating the menus requires far too much driver attention and presents a steep learning curve. There are many menus and selecting items requires a firm, deliberate press when in haptic mode. A few functions can be accessed by drawing on the lower screen, but you have to navigate to those input screens first.

Technology

9.0/10

How’s the tech? The A7 cabin is an oasis for tech lovers. The instrument panel and touchscreen displays are crisp, while the sound system is so good you might swear off talk radio forever. The voice command system works great, which is fortunate due to how confounding the touchscreen interface is.

Our test A7 was equipped with four USB ports — two under the front armrest and two behind the center console for rear passengers. There was also a wireless charging pad under the front armrest. Wireless Apple CarPlay is a great feature, and the system reacts quickly to user inputs.

The A7's driver aids are generally very good. The adaptive cruise control operates smoothly. Lane keeping is subtle and deals with gentle corners well, but it's disconcertingly flummoxed by tighter corners. Rear cross-traffic braking assist is too sensitive.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The hatchback design gives the A7 more cargo room and space flexibility than the A6 sedan and other competing four-doors. Since the A7 is a hatchback, the cargo area has a flat, wide space with side pockets, tie-down rings and LED strips. There's nowhere to stow the cargo cover if you don't want it, but at least it's short. The 40/20/40-split rear seat folds almost flat and doesn't require the front seats be moved forward.

Like the Audi A6, there aren't many places to store things inside, so drivers should probably declutter before settling in. Easily accessible car seat anchors aid in fitting a safety seat.

Fuel Economy

9.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the A7 earns 25 mpg in combined driving (22 city/30 highway). These numbers are slightly higher than the class average — and great for an engine with this much power. Our test car averaged 27.5 mpg over our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route, indicating that the EPA's estimates are achievable.

Value

7.5/10

Is the A7 a good value? The quality of materials and construction is excellent, though the blinding chrome trim and a rattling speaker in our test car diminished the primo luxury vibe. Still, the A7 can be expensive, and you can get more cargo room from the Q8 SUV for less money. Warranty coverage for a luxury automaker is average.

Wildcard

9.0/10

There aren't many midsize luxury hatchbacks, and Audi went out of its way to make this car feel special. The S Line package and sticky tires endow this tech-heavy people mover with performance chops, and the turbo V6 is more powerful than you might think.

For better or worse, the A7 greatly differentiates itself from the A6 it's based on. Its rear hatch allows for more cargo room at the expense of rear headroom. The styling makes it look a bit sleeker too. Otherwise, it has the same high-tech interior and spirited dynamics we love in the A6.

Which A7 does Edmunds recommend?

The A7 base trim is well equipped, but we'd still recommend upgrading to the Premium Plus. You'd spend almost half of the price difference just to get the base trim's optional Convenience package, which the Premium Plus includes as standard. The rest of the extra cost goes to upgraded headlights, ambient cabin lighting and a premium sound system, features that make daily driving just a bit more enjoyable.

2019 Audi A7 3.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 7AM)

I have driven SUVs for 15 years and decided to give a sedan a try. Once I drove the A7 there was no way I was buying anything else. This is the smoothest driving car I have ever driven . The tech is state of the art. The only problem I had was finding one since they are in such demand.

Nothing on the road compares to the A7. It is unique. Drives like a GT, rides on rails, beautifully crafted sedan, and tremendous hatchback storage options. The gas mileage is amazing at 30 true mpg highway. This is my 3RD A7 and i will never own another car or suv. The Bang & Olufsen sound is without competition. The A7 is marvelous to drive, practical with the hatchback, and a head …
