Test Drive Audi A7 Sportback Since 2010 Hatchback
Test Drive Audi A7 Sportback: High Flight Coupe
We had an Audi A7 Sportback AUDI AUDI, equipped with a 2.8 liter base atmospheric gasoline engine with a capacity of 204 hp. Complete QUATTRO and seven-step robot s Tronic.
The era of the four-door coupe began in 2004, when Mercedes-Benz released a four-door car with cramless doors and a silhouette of a coupe. It is with a four-door coupe that German automakers began the class struggle of the body, producing more and more new types. The only six-year-old Mercedes CLS remained in its class, when the list of his competitors was replenished at once with two models: first Bavarian BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, and then Audi A7 Sportback.
The Audi A7 design is made in the new corporate style Audi. The main distinguishing feature of the four-door coupe is the frameless doors and the beveled feed line. But even this is enough to confirm that the appearance of the A7 was glory.
Despite the fact that all three models are presented in one format, ideologically, they are completely different. Mercedes CLS is a clean water Silhouette Coupe, BMW 5 Series GT Bright hatchback, in the Audi they decided to do something average, with the result that the A7 Sportback retained Mercedes's swift, leaving enough space for the rear passengers.

Interior Audi A7 Sportback is a successful combination of different styles, high-quality finish materials and impeccable assembly. Ergonomics also at height.
Like many other Audi automakers got into corporate design whirlpool, when different models become similar to each other. Even with a short distance, to distinguish Audi A4 from A8 for an ordinary alignment, the case is not easy, but new A6 and A8 are similar as twin brothers. A7 Sportback here is no exception. But without original solutions, it was not: the main trick of the four-door coupe from Ingolstadt was a beveled feed, giving an already rapid silhouette even more attractiveness. Otherwise, these are already familiar headlights with a formidable glow of diode eyelashes, branded grille, athletic wheeled arches, and stylish rear diode optics. All these qualities are applicable to any representative of the modern Audi model. Do good do not look for good?
We for the test got the most modest version equipped with a 2.8 FSI gasoline engine with a capacity of 204 hp With the Complete Drive of Quattro and the Robot S Tronic. Now dealers have suspended orders for this model without explaining the reasons, but in the future they promise to resume sales.
Salon A7 Sportback Real Fusion, successful compromise between several styles that organically complement one other. The light and harmonious front panel is made of high-quality plastic, which is combined with the conservative inserts from the textured tree and aluminum edging of the air ducts. The total harmony violates only traveling a large 7-inch information display. Stylish tidy is equipped with a large central screen, which, among other things, is displayed an image of an optional night vision system, temperature pointers and digital fuel.
Test Audi A7 was equipped with the latest generation LED headlights. They shine perfectly, but this option is not cheap - 99,684 rubles.
Comfortable front armchairs with a mass of adjustments, ventilation system and several massage programs will satisfy even the most sophisticated fifth points. Around the gearbox selector, the MMI system keys are settled, the engine start button and the electronic handler, as well as the touch pad, as on the flagship A8.
Robotic transmission S Tronic, which completes all all-wheel drive modifications A7 is clear and timely shifts. The MMI system keys are located around the PPC selector, the engine start button and touchpad.
The rear sofa is strictly for two, and these two should not be too high, otherwise they risk bumping down the sloping ceiling, and knees the backrest of the front armchairs. If with increasing passengers guess, then no one will regret the trip on the gallery. The sofa is defined perfectly, there is a convenient armrest, and separate rear climates are proposed as an option.
In Dynamic mode, comfortable and Valya Audi A7 turns into a real sports accumulation. The 204-strong motor does not seem so calm, the box to the last holds the current stage, and the suspension does not give the slightest hint of the roll.
Even the selfish four-door coupe does not prevent practicality. The trunk volume of 535 liters is deep and narrow, but at the expense of a widespread lid with an electric drive to ship comfortably even large things. If the volume is small, then the back back can be decomposed in relation to 40:60, thereby increasing the useful volume up to 1 390 liters.
The rear row is designed strictly for two passengers. The fact that the third one excess reminds the absence of a central seat belt. All amenities, including optional separate climate control prepared on the rear passengers.
According to a passport, a 2.8-liter atmospheric with a capacity of 204 hp Overclocking a 1.7-ton car for 8.3 seconds. In the city, this dynamics is enough, especially since the 7-speed robot s Tronis, which are equipped with all all-wheel drive versions of the A7 Sportback, works smartly, transfers switching timely, without delays and delay. If there was a need for quick overtaking on the track, then the power starts missing and take advantage of the input of the box, which instantly spurs the turnover and turns gasoline V6 to maximum revolutions by a pleasant roar of the exhaust system.
In Comfort and Auto modes, the SportsBEC gives a lot of comfort. Payback - rolls in turns, and imposing reactions to driving driving. But even in this mode, the A7 Sportback is perfectly held on a straight line, only occasionally disturbing calm a little star.
Lack of dynamics on the track turns into a pleasant fuel consumption, which even in a dynamic mode does not exceed 12-13 liters per 100 km / way.
Even on optional 19-inch discs with tires 255/40 R19 in the Comfort and Auto modes, the Sports Sports will go along the road as an intercontinental liner for the ocean waves, only sometimes languidly swaying on asphalt waves. The direct Audi holds perfectly, zero on the steering wheel with an electromechanical amplifier clear, increasing with an increase in the speed of force adequate. Let's go to the loop. Stability on the bolds remains, informativeness on the steering wheel is enough, but the turns are accompanied by a roll, and with an active ride on a cool arc, Audi A7 rises with Lenza, late for sharp manipulations by the beam. But the suspension is perfectly coping with the irregularities of almost any caliber, transmitting only the messengers to the salon.
Wanted to register? The recipe for sharpness is simple. When you turn on the Dynamix mode 204-strong V6 shows the teeth, the suspension is compressed and from a comfortable business compartment A7 Sportback turns into a real sports coupe. The steering wheel is poured with additional effort, and the electronic shock absorbers are disturbing: now there is a pleasure to prescribe a bunch of turns, there is no trail from rolls and rolls, and the cargo body with hunting is screwed into any turn. The reverse side of the shaking medal on the irregularities. In the Dynamic mode, the suspension does not want to miss a single hole or junction, then the case reminding this vibrations in the cabin.
Dashboard as on the flagship sedan Audi A8. Cooling fluid temperature pointers and fuel levels are now electronic. On the central display, in addition to the data of the route computer, the audio system and navigation can be displayed an image of a night vision system that can recognize pedestrians.
In addition, the atmospheric version with a 2.8-liter engine in Russia AUDI A7 is available with a 3.0-liter TFSI turbo engine with a capacity of 300 hp and a 245-strong turbodiesel of the same volume. Both versions are offered only with the full Quattro drive and the S Tronic robot. The price of a gasoline version starts from 2,735,000 rubles, diesel from 2,630,000 rubles. Orders for cars with a motor volume of 2.8-liters are not temporarily accepted, but such versions still have in stock from dealers. The cost of AUDI A7 2.8 Quattro starts with a mark of 2,409,000 rubles.
For comparison, the basic 306-strong Mercedes CLS 350 is more expensive - 3,690,000 rubles, and the most affordable rear-wheel drive BMW 535i Gran Tourismo of a similar power of 2,600,000 rubles. Unlike competitors on the Audi side, the presence of more available modifications. After all, even in the all-wheel drive modification, Audi A7 Sportback wins at a price. In addition, dealers in one voice declare that stopping orders for 2.8-liter modifications of the measure temporary, and soon they will resume.
