Audi A7: Start-stop technology for every engine

Drivers with a greater bias towards economy and long distance comfort will also be well catered for in the new A7. The latest direct injection technology puts the Audi A7 engines at the forefront of efficiency, and all four also combine Audi thermal management, energy recuperation during coasting/braking and the engine start-stop function.

The A7 body is made with a high proportion of aluminium and weighs around 15% less than an equivalent all-steel shell, which further improves the fuel economy.

Four engine options will be available initially - 2.8-litre FSI and supercharged 3.0-litre TFSI petrol units, plus two versions of the 3.0-litre TDI. For the first time in Audi models at this level, they will be matched with the rapid-shifting seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch sports transmission wherever quattro four-wheel-drive is installed. Front-wheel-drive versions will have a multitronic CVT automatic transmission.

Up to 53.3mpg, and CO2 of just 139g/km, is possible if the Audi A7 3.0 TDI (204PS) is specified, for example. At the same time, this version has a top speed of 145mph and can go from 0-60mph in eight seconds.

To reduce power usage further, and give the A7 Sportback an even more imposing look, customers can also specify extremely energy efficient all-LED headlights.

The Audi drive select adaptive dynamics system will be standard on all models, enabling the driver to fine-tune steering weighting, throttle response and transmission shift points at the touch of a button. Performance enthusiasts will be able to specify the optional quattro sport differential, which has been much praised in the S4 and RS 5.
