As a luxury hatchback, the 2023 Audi A7 is unusual. Yet it's a terrifically impressive machine, with a supple interior, strong engine and surprisingly sporty handling. There aren't many faults. However, its touchscreen can be distracting to use, so be sure to check it out before buying.Read full review

Cons

Sloping roofline limits rear headroom
More expensive than the similar A6

What's new

Overview

The 2023 Audi A7 is a sleek and stylish luxury sedan that offers more practicality than the average luxury car. It's one of Edmunds' favorite luxury cars on sale today, four-door or otherwise. It's comfortable, well appointed and more practical than most four-doors, including some in Audi's own stable. While the A7 is fundamentally an A6 sedan with a more eye-catching profile, that sloping roofline hides a massive hatch.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Audi A7 Premium 4dr Sedan AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.77 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Feature changes for 2023 are minor. Adaptive cruise control is now available on the base Premium model, and Audi has combined two separate packages — the Black Optic and S Line packages — into one. Unfortunately, Audi has discontinued the plug-in hybrid model from the A7 lineup. We're disappointed because the plug-in offered higher fuel economy than the regular A7 and was a differentiating feature in this class.

Overall we recommend the A7 if you're looking for a luxury sedan with lots of cargo space, a luxurious interior and pleasing performance. Other alternatives include the Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe, as both have a similar, stylish ethos. Other midsize luxury sedans include the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Volvo S90 and Genesis G80. Check out our Expert Rating below for everything you need to know about the A7.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

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

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 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.

Build & Price

Technology

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

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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

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

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.

Which A7 does Edmunds recommend?

As with last year's A7, we suggest going with the midlevel Premium Plus trim. It builds off the base Premium trim with a few extra niceties, including the optional Convenience package as standard equipment.

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.

2020 Audi A7 Premium Plus 4dr Sedan AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)

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.

Audi A7 vs. BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe

Despite the name, the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe is a four-door sedan that's one of the A7's closest rivals in character. The 8 Series Gran Coupe is more expensive than the Audi and lacks the A7's standard all-wheel drive and spacious cargo area, but the same general mix of features, in-car tech and luxury appointments are available on both cars.

Audi A7 vs. Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

The original CLS was the car that kicked off the coupe-like four-door design that paved the way for the A7. The current CLS is one of Edmunds' favorite luxury sedans, offering a comfortable, well-appointed interior, loads of in-car tech and an excellent powertrain. It's a little more expensive than the A7, and it doesn't offer as much passenger or nearly as much cargo space as the Audi.

Compare Audi A7 & Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class features

Audi A7 vs. Volvo S90

Volvo's biggest sedan isn't quite as stylish as the A7, but the more traditional sedan shape means the S90 offers more interior space than its German competitor. It's also less expensive yet features similar standard equipment. While Audi dropped the plug-in hybrid, Volvo still offers an S90 PHEV. The in-car tech and interior appointments aren't quite as good as the Audi's, though.

Safety
