Product Overview

Audi A7 C7 Sportback (Typ 4G8) is a luxury sedan in production from 2010 to 2014, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of V6 engines that displaced 2.8 to 3.0 liters.

As the C7 model code suggests, this generation of A7 is a suited-up A6 (Typ 4G). As such, the two models share roughly the same chassis and suspension setup, which is to say rather good.

The 3.0 TDI diesel engines are rather compelling, while the supercharged V6 petrol is not bad, either. Unfortunately, no manual transmission was offered, and the most reliable auto is perhaps the ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic, while the one to avoid was the "Multitronic" CVT.

Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The C7 A7 Sportback also comes with a high towing capacity.
