2021 Audi A7 Prestige 55 TFSI e quattro Sedan Exterior Shown

+216

As a luxury hatchback, the 2021 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.

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

I purchased the 2019 A7 premium plus. In the four months since ownership, the vehicle had a few issues. Upon entering the highway from a stop, the vehicle rolled backwards and the rear view camera turned on. On another occasion, the vehicle braked unexpectedly. There were also warning lights and error messages that would come on, but when you restart the vehicle, the messages would …

2021 Audi A7 Prestige 4dr Sedan AWD w/55 TFSI e (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 7AM)

BRAND NEW 2021 A7e became COMPLETELY NON-OPERATIONAL after 2+ weeks of ownership and just over 800 miles on it. It had to be towed to a dealership and wait weeks for a part to come in from Germany. Imagine the excitement and joy of owning a new car like this to the wondering about Audi's build quality and reliability on this car for the rest of my ownership period….big time downer, …

Wow

2020 Audi A7 Premium Plus 4dr Sedan AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild 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.

The A7 is the BEST CAR ON THE ROAD

2021 Audi A7 Prestige 4dr Sedan AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)

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 …
