More standard features are on tap for the 2022 A7 base Premium trim level. It now comes with some features that were previously optional, such as the 10.1-inch touchscreen display and a customizable digital gauge cluster (Audi's Virtual Cockpit Plus). All A7s now have standard rear side airbags too.

Overall the A7 stands as a classy pick for a midsize luxury sedan. You can even get it as a plug-in hybrid version that can considerably reduce your use of gas if you're able to frequently recharge. You can learn more about the A7's pros and cons by reading our test team's Expert Rating below.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Audi A7 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience: 0-60, engine & performance

8.5/10

How does the A7 drive? Acceleration is strong. Our test A7 logged the 0-60 sprint in just 4.7 seconds. It also posted short emergency-stopping distances, though much of the credit went to our test car's optional summer performance tires. Fitted with the optional S line sport package, the A7 handles surprisingly well. But there's quite a difference in steering feel across the driving modes — Comfort is almost too light, while Dynamic tends to feel needlessly heavy in some situations.

The power delivery when leaving a stop can be a little jerky, which is somewhat unrefined for a car of this class. Sport mode helps smooth out the delivery a bit and doesn't hang onto gears unnecessarily long. Upshifts are nearly imperceptible, no matter which gear you're in or how much throttle you're giving it.

Comfort: seats, ease of use, and getting in & out

8/10

How comfortable is the A7? The A7 is a comfortable cruiser offering a smooth ride over a variety of surfaces. The base seats feel great but don't have as many adjustments as those in rivals. Massaging seats with more customization are available, but they are expensive. The climate control system works great.

While the engine is barely audible at highway speeds, there's more wind and road noise than we'd expect for this class. Ambient noises from outside the car seep in readily too. None of it is terribly distracting, however, and keeping the radio at even a low level will drown it all out. You'll always feel the aforementioned driveline shocks in first gear.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The swoopy roofline suggests rear visibility will suffer, but the A7 actually has excellent sight lines all around. Alas, the slinky profile hampers rear headroom and can make it tricky to get in and out. It's not the most spacious midsize car, so if you sit in the rear behind a tall person, you'll need to scrunch and rotate your body 90 degrees before exiting.

Audi's latest dual-panel touchscreen is attractive but difficult to use. Navigating the menus of the setup requires far too much driver attention and presents a steep learning curve. There are many menus and selecting items requires a firm, deliberate press when in haptic mode. A few functions can be accessed by drawing on the lower screen, but you have to navigate to those input screens first.

In-cabin tech: infotainment & phone integration

9/10

How’s the tech? The A7 cabin is an oasis for tech lovers. The instrument panel and touchscreen displays are crisp, while the sound system is so good you might swear off talk radio forever. The voice command system works great, which is fortunate due to how confounding the touchscreen interface is.

Our test A7 was equipped with four USB ports — two under the front armrest and two behind the center console for rear passengers. There was also a wireless charging pad under the front armrest. Wireless Apple CarPlay is a great feature, and the system reacts quickly to user inputs.

The A7's driver aids are generally very good. The adaptive cruise control operates smoothly. Lane keeping is subtle and deals with gentle corners well, but it's disconcertingly flummoxed by tighter corners. Rear cross-traffic braking assist is too sensitive.

Storage: cargo space & space for small items

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The hatchback design gives the A7 more cargo room and space flexibility than the A6 sedan and other competing four-doors. Since the A7 is a hatchback, the cargo area has a flat, wide space with side pockets, tie-down rings and LED strips. There's nowhere to stow the cargo cover if you don't want it, but at least it's short. The 40/20/40-split rear seat folds almost flat and doesn't require the front seats be moved forward.

Like the Audi A6, there aren't many places to store things inside, so drivers should probably declutter before settling in. Easily accessible car seat anchors aid in fitting a safety seat.

MPG: gas mileage & fuel economy

9/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the A7 earns 24 mpg in combined driving (21 city/30 highway). These numbers are slightly higher than the class average — and great for an engine with this much power. Our test car averaged 27.5 mpg over our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route, indicating that the EPA's estimates are achievable.

Value: cost, features & warranty

7.5/10

Is the A7 a good value? The quality of materials and construction is excellent, though the blinding chrome trim and a rattling speaker in our test car diminished the primo luxury vibe. Still, the A7 can be expensive, and you can get more cargo room from the Q8 SUV for less money. Warranty coverage for a luxury automaker is average.

Wildcard

9/10

There aren't many midsize luxury hatchbacks, and Audi went out of its way to make this car feel special. The S line package and sticky tires endow this tech-heavy people mover with performance chops, and the turbo V6 is more powerful than you might think.

For better or worse, the A7 greatly differentiates itself from the A6 it's based on. Its rear hatch allows for more cargo room at the expense of rear headroom. The styling makes it look a bit sleeker too. Otherwise, it has the same high-tech interior and spirited dynamics we love in the A6.

2022 Audi A7 trim level differences

The 2022 Audi A7 is a four-door sedan with seating for up to five people. Three trim levels are available: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. The standard engine is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (335 horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque) called the 55 TFSI. On the Premium Plus and Prestige there's also an optional plug-in hybrid powertrain with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (362 hp, 369 lb-ft) called the 55 TFSI e Quattro. All models come with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Which A7 trim does Edmunds recommend?

You get a lot in return for the Premium Plus trim, which takes the optional Convenience package from the base model and adds an upgraded stereo and safety features as standard. This is also the entry point for adding the plug-in hybrid system, which can provide up to 26 miles of full EV power before the engine kicks in.

I have driven SUVs for 15 years and decided to give a sedan a try. Once I drove the A7 there was no way I was buying anything else. This is the smoothest driving car I have ever driven . The tech is state of the art. The only problem I had was finding one since they are in such demand.

Nothing on the road compares to the A7. It is unique. Drives like a GT, rides on rails, beautifully crafted sedan, and tremendous hatchback storage options. The gas mileage is amazing at 30 true mpg highway. This is my 3RD A7 and i will never own another car or suv. The Bang & Olufsen sound is without competition.
