SUPER COUPE SENT: The new A7 Sportback is packed with techno wizardry
AUDI has come up with itsown take on TheMagnificent Seven – andit’s sure to become ablockbuster in its own
right.Sleek, low slung and packed with
techno wizardry the A7 Sportbackis a super coupe that blends stylewith space.
Barely a month seems to go bywithout the German manufacturerannouncing a new car derivative –there have already been a dozenthis year – and this latest arrivaltakes Audi’s range to 35 modelswith a staggering 740 variants.
It’s an expansion that, combinedwith massive financialcommitment, has seen the marqueleapfrog its executive class rivals inrecent times.
Audi gets quite precious aboutother car makers using the wordpremium, believing that too manyimposters are claiming their latestmodels fall into that category.
Stuff or nonsense, what’s certainis that the A7 Sportback is apremium car with a capital P. It’salso a niche product, the companyexpecting to sell 3,000 a year – all ofwhich will be built to order.
There aren’t many cars that canbe named as genuine rivals to theA7, the Mercedes-Benz CLS and
BMW 5 Series GT perhaps being themost likely, so it is sure to haveplenty of exclusivity appeal.
And with prices ranging from£43,755 to £49,860 for a line-up that,depending on model, is quicker,more economical and cheaper torun than the opposition, the Audi iswell placed to nab the limelight.
From launch on January 8 therewill be a choice of four engines –2.8-litre FSI with 204PS and 3.0 TFSIwith 300PS petrol plus a pair of 3.0TDI diesels producing 204 or 245PS– and SE and S line trim grades.
Of the quartet only the frontwheel drive, lower power dieseldoesn’t feature Audi’s quattroall-wheel drive system, insteadusing the company’s multitronicautomatic transmission as opposedto the quattro’s seven-speed twinclutch S tronic box .
This model is the mosteconomical in the line-up boastingan average 53.3 miles per gallon andCO2 emissions of 139g/km.
It was the higher powered modelsthat were available to test on thelaunch exercise though, and of thetwo the supercharged petrol versionis much the more rewarding todrive.
Both are extremely refined, wellbalanced, show terrific poisethrough bends and intime-honoured Audi fashion, feelsuperbly engineered.
Also of high order is the A7’ssound insulation, but then it needsto be because among the extra costoptions is a Bang & Olufsenadvanced sound system that costs awhopping £6,300.
Upmarket gadgetry is everywherein this car, from a night vision
camera and internet ‘on the go’ toparallel parking – not new to theindustry but a first in a car of thissize – and a head-up display.
Speccing the car up is verytempting, and doesn’t come cheap.For instance the 3.0 TDI quattro SEmodel I drove was fitted with 20individual options, adding an extra£25,765 to the tab.
Stuff like the night vision withpedestrian detection, head-updisplay and ventilated seats thatcan perform a massage aresophisticated enough but it’s the£2,050 Technology Pack that takesthe biscuit.
Central to its appeal is the sat-navlinked to Google Earth completewith display that can zoom in to 30metres to provide an amazing realworld view of the surrounding area.If you predicted something like this
a decade ago people would havethought you were barmy.
There’s also a smart phone linkto the Internet that turns the carinto a Wi-Fi hotspot for passengerswith laptops.
And whether you happen to bethe driver or just there for the ride,the experience is top notch becauseapart from being an eyecatcher inprofile, the A7 has a sumptuousinterior with ample rear head andlegroom for two tall passengers.
There’s also a long but shallowboot that can cope with a useful 535litres of clobber and that can beboosted further thanks to foldingrear seats.
It all adds up to another string inAudi’s fast expanding bow – or asthe German company likes todescribe it: Executive travel with anew slant.
