Audi A7 Sportback 3.0T Test Drive

The market position of this model is naturally obvious. The A7L, built by SAIC Audi, will hit the luxury sedan market in 2022.

Before this, we conducted a test drive experience on the Audi A7L55TFSI (equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder engine).

Appearance design

Although the whole facade looks no different from the home design language, the halo and visual feel are completely different. The luxurious headlights have a sense of technology, are very recognizable, and have unique lighting effects, especially the daytime operating lights can well represent the identity of the model. Completely different from the Audi a6L and a4L, the blackened grille also has a different flavor. . The large wheels feature a multi-spoke design with lots of chrome trim strips. Coupe-specific hub tires are more performance.

The Audi A7L adopts a new armor-like design, which is more visually unique. The LED model also has laser matrix headlights.

Audi A7L adopts the traditional hatchback design, and the side shape is very slender. After all, its body is 5076 mm longer than the imported A7's 4976 mm.

The classic four frameless doors still have the property of pulling the wind after the doors are opened, and the front and rear windows are made of double-layer soundproof glass.

The 2021 model has three waistlines on the side of the body, of which the bottom waistline is the thickest, and the light and shadow effect is good. Frameless doors are a must for luxury coupes, and the same configuration of Audi A, whether it is personality or fashion, has raised the whole car to a new level. The roof of the new car adopts a backward sliding shape, and the application of the lines is also relatively neat.

The rear side of the car has a strong sense of style. The boat-inspired rear side design is combined with the dynamic wrap-around streamlined taillights, combined with the adjustable spoiler, to improve driving stability and make the body stance cooler. The rear perimeter is decorated in black, and the exhaust part adopts a hidden design to decorate the sporty atmosphere.

interior

The interior of the new Audi A7 has been injected with more pop elements, retaining luxury. The design of the brushed trim cover enhances the sporty feel. The entire instrument panel and the central control screen are skewed towards the driver's perspective, which is easy to operate and can get timely and clear body feedback on any road. The central control screen is an LCD touchscreen, 10.1 feet, and 8.6 feet are sufficient, and the interior is rich in functions and supports intelligent voice recognition.

The seat style of the Audi A7 can be seen as a very sober seat in a coupe, very ordinary, and very comfortable. The friends who bought A are still in the city most of the time, and the use of sports seats is very wasteful and uncomfortable.

Audi A7 entry-level models provide us with tire pressure alarm, body reliability control, traction control, active braking, front and rear parking radar, steering image, cruise control, driving mode switching, automatic parking, variable steering ratio, electric sunroof, Electric spoiler, electric trunk, induction trunk, electric trunk position memory, keyless start, keyless entry, leather steering wheel, 12.3-inch LCD, etc., if necessary, some configuration options can be made.

space

The full size of the car is 4976 mm, 1908 mm, and 1405 mm, and the wheelbase is 2928 mm. In the same price car, the space is very competitive. The space in the front driver's seat is wide and the passengers can move their bodies freely. The electric sunroof in the regular area of ​​the ceiling is bright, and the visual impact is transparent and bright, but there are some bulges on the middle floor of the rear row, which will affect the overall space. The 2-seat back row is suitable for 2 adults of average size.

The huge tailgate makes the depth advantage of the large trunk of the Audi A7. At the same time, in the design, Audi also considered how to maximize the use of space when loading large items, and the entire trunk is very clean.

It doesn't have a brighter panoramic sunroof because of the roof's sliding line back, and the rear foot room is ideal. After all, for the size of medium and large cars, four people will not feel uncomfortable in the whole car, but the middle position of the rear row is not suitable for riding. First, the roof that slides back takes up space. Second, the widened air-conditioning vents on the center console will occupy the intermediate space, and with the raised platform bulge, it is at most a temporary emergency ride.

The trunk space of this new car is admirable. Its regular volume is 535 liters. The support ratio of the rear seats can be lowered. With the second-row seats down, the boot volume can be expanded to 1390 liters. In addition, the interior is equipped with mesh pockets and baffles to better secure the contents of the luggage.

power

The Audi A7 is equipped with a 3.0 supercharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 310 Ps and a maximum torque of 440 N m. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox; Mercedes-Benz; CLS is equipped with a 3. Self-priming engine with a maximum horsepower of 306 Ps, and maximum torque is 370 N m, and it is paired with a 7-speed manual transmission. In terms of power, the A7 has the advantage.

The transmission part is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. One thing that should be noted is that the entire Audi A7 series is a dual-drive version, which can not only reduce the price but also highlight the high-end of the S 7.

55 TFSI This model also comes with standard active air suspension, which can adjust body height and suspension stiffness, lowering the body by 10mm and raising it by 20 mm; each air spring can be adjusted automatically according to speed, performance mode, and road conditions Internal air pressure.

On the whole, this matches Audi A7. The performance in all aspects far exceeds the models of the same level, especially the beggar model with the lowest configuration. It is indeed slightly weaker in power than the middle and high configuration, but this difference is an ordinary person. can not be seen. While the gaps in other configurations are impractical, real practical things can be found in this car. As can be seen from these three screens, the standard size of the entire system is different, and the functions inside should also be different.
