2012 Audi A7 3.0 TFSI Quattro

German Automakers, Audi released their latest good looking and stylish luxury sedan-A 7, 3.0 TFSI Quattro, a very comfortable car that lacks the forced sportiness and harshness like many other Audi models.

What does it offer?

The body of the A7 is build from aluminum and steel. The new lighting system present in the vehicle can handle all the weather conditions. It also modifies lighting based on ambient brightness, city, or highway travel. Under the bumper, it has radar sensors for adaptive cruise control. It comes with Google local search and Google earth.

The Beauty

It looks like an answer to the Mercedes BENZ CLS, but there are many twists and curves. If we talk about the front, the large grille looks fine with coupe like style but the aerodynamic low front should be always saved from high curbs. The windshield is steeply raked and the roofline seeps down at the rear disguising the presence of the rear doors. If you will look from the rear, the shoulders of the A7 will provide a striking view.

The Beast

The four-seater sedan features a new compressor 3.0 V6 and a new belt drive supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with an output of 310hp and 325 pound-feet of torque. The smooth and responsive TFSI engine is powered by a Roots-type blower and delivers excellent performance. The engine combines with Quattro all-wheel drive and an eight speed automatic gearbox supplied by ZF. The transmission can be manually shifted with the steering wheel paddles or console shifter. The vehicle is expected to deliver a fuel economy of 28 mpg on the highway, 18 mpg in city and 22 mpg combined.

The electromechanical power steering is not new for Audi. You can use the Drive Select program to change the parameter for three areas-Engines (shifts points of transmission), Belt tensioner, and Steering. You can switch between Auto, Comfort and Dynamic modes, as well as Individual and Customizable modes. Each time you start the car it will automatically revert to the last settings before shut down. The 3.0 TFSI engine used in the car is the best engine in the world because it delivers power without hesitation of a nanosecond with complete smoothness.

The Thrill

According to the company, A7 can achieve 60mph in 5.4 seconds. The top speed of the car is 155mph. Halting it from 60 to zero will be very short because of the powerful brakes, just like a sports car. You can take curves at impressive speeds.

Interiors

The doors are big and the door handles large, so that you can easily slip into the beautifully crafted interior, with a pop-up dashboard screen. The four-spoke steering wheel and the shift lever are leather wrapped. A7 is loaded with many high-tech items like navigation system, movable monitor, and rear-view camera. The 8-inch navigation system allows you to control the navigation, telephone functions, and the audio, via the help of Audi’s MMI touch controller. It also offers Wi-Fi connectivity for up to eight devices. The only problems that can be mentioned here, the white light of fuel, coolant gauges goes nearly invisible in the direct sunlight, and to change the climate control’s fan speed. there is a two step process.

Exteriors

The A7 features a swoopy roofline that tucks with a muscular and sexy rear. It moves on a 114.7-inch wheelbase with an overall length of 195.6 inches. It is about 1.5 inches lower than A6 and A8. The sport exterior comes with an automatic spoiler that extends outwards at 80mph and comes back at the original position at 50mph. The weight of the A7 is 4, 960 pound.

Should I buy one?

Off course, you should buy it. It is going to be the dream car of many people in the future.

Price and availability

A7 is expensive; the price starts from $60, 125. The Audi navigation system, climate control feature, Bose audio system, and front seat cooling make the final price of $68, 630. A sport package worth $1, 500 is available with the car that consists of 20/18 inches inch tires and a sport suspension.
