Audi A7 FAQs

• How fast is the Audi A7?

  With the backing of powerful turbo hybrid set-ups, the Audi A7 is incredibly nippy on the road. The combination of a 14.4-kWh battery pack and thunderous four-cylinder and six-cylinder options means this PHEV is a real terror to contend with. In its quickest guise, the Audi A7 can sprint from zero to 100km/h in a little over 5 seconds, and its top speed is in the vicinity of 245 to 250 km/h. Whether you need that extra power overtaking on a highway, or quick off the line at the traffic lights, the A7 isn't lacking when it comes to pace.

• Are all Audi A7s automatic?

  All of the Audi A7 variants are equipped with an automatic S-tronic transmission. S Tronic is a dual clutch, direct-shift gearbox (DSG) that allows you to combine and/or switch between automatic and manual transmission when driving. By default, the transmission will run in fully automatic mode, however, gears can be manually switched with the shift selector lever or with an optional rocker switch on the steering wheel. Various auto-makers have a similar feature, but S-tronic is Audi terminology.

• What is the horsepower of an Audi A7?

  The two variants on offer across Australia at the moment range in size from a four-cylinder 2.0-litre turbo with onboard electric motor, to a V6 3.0-litre turbo hybrid utilising 48-volt hybrid-assist system. They offer 180kW at 5000rpm and 250kW at 5200rpm respectively, alongside torque of 370Nm at 1600rpm or 500Nm at 1730rpm. This equates to horsepower in the region of 335 to 362 horsepower, which is delivered to Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive through a seven-speed auto S-tronic transmission.
