Audi A7

There is a new car released from Audi, the A7. It has a sportback design similar to the Porsche Panamera and Mercedes Benz CLS550 but starts at a much lower price. However, the other two cars have much more performance compared to the Audi A7.

Visual:
The front fascia of the A7 looks very nice with a sharp and expensive appearance. The LED lights do not only offer a safer vehicle on the road, but it looks spectacular and how it aligns to the chrome grille looks simply stunning. On the other hand, the rear end of the car is quite disappointing. It looks like it got rear ended and the tail lights make it look droopy. There are options for different car paint and interior colours like any other Audi vehicles.

Interior:
Audi has done it again with their amazingly gorgeous interiors. The A7 looks unbelievable with the dash and center console. I believe it has a similar layout to the A8 which is the highest model on the A series. Everything just flows right with how the buttons are placed. Most of them control the settings on the Multi Media Interface display.






Performance: While it is a luxurious family vehicle, it still has a sporty engine. A supercharged 3.0 V6 producing 310 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque while still maintaining very good fuel economy. It does 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds which is not bad at all. For even more performance, Audi will most likely release the S7 which is basically the A7 with a bigger engine. The A7 has the Quattro all-wheel drive system as standard. What's good about it is a feature which sends power to the wheel with the most grip. This vehicle has a 8 speed Tiptronic transmission. Most cars today commonly come with 5 or 6 speeds but the 8 speed will allow slightly more fuel efficiency and it is just as light as a 6 speed transmission.

 The Audi A7 is not released to Canada yet but it should arrive in the Spring of 2011 which is, very soon. It will most likely start off at over $60,000 plus a ton of options which will easily turn it into a $70,000+ vehicle. Honestly I would take the new Audi A6 over it because of the rear end.
