The interior of the new A7 has the same design as the A8, with the center console dominated by two large screens, the difference is that the A7 uses a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the center console tilts to the driver's seat at a larger angle, with more emphasis on the driving experience. The overall interior flavor remains the same atmospheric luxury style, in line with the mainstream level of coupe models in the same class.

Two large touch-screen displays replace the numerous buttons and controls, thus creating a digital driving experience space.

In addition to the four-wheel drive model, the front-wheel drive version will also appear in the product sequence, and future sales should not be low.

New car background

The first generation of Audi A7 was officially unveiled in 2010, and after seven years, it finally ushered in its second generation. Although the A7 is positioned as a four-door coupe, the A7 and CLS have obvious differences in style, with the Audi tending to be a sports car and the Mercedes closer to a traditional sedan. In addition to the regular models, the A7 has also derived a performance version of the S7 and a high-performance version of the RS 7 series. 7 years is not a short time for a car, and the configuration of the year has become backward today, so it's time for a new generation.

Competitors

As a luxury four-door coupe, the Audi A7's competitors also have sufficient strength, but the recently replaced Audi A7 has more fresh technology than its rivals. The direct competitor, the Mercedes-Benz CLS, was also just launched this year, with a more aggressive exterior styling and only a 2.0T displacement engine in its power configuration.

Summary

The new Audi A7 Sportback is positioned as a high-end luxury coupe model. Its sliding back shape and rich high-tech configuration are designs that meet the needs of young consumers, while its interior has made a more driver-oriented layout and configuration, reflecting its emphasis on the sports driving experience. Power configuration naturally does not disappoint, the first listed are 4WD models with 3.0T engines, In the future there are models with 2.0T engines and front-wheel drive models. The current price is basically at the same level as the old model, which is an increase in volume and not price, worthy of key consideration for friends who like luxury coupes.
