2013 audi a7 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. First introduced for 2012, the audi a7 is based on the same platform as the audi a6 and has nearly the same footprint, save for the a7's distinctive sloping roofline. new for 2013 is the line-topping s7, which features a unique front grille and exterior trim, along with unique 19-inch wheels. The 2013 audi s7 is powered the same engine found in the audi s6, a twin-turbo 4. 0-liter v8 that cranks out 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It's paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive comes standard. Audi claims the s7 has a 0-60 mph time of just 4. 5 seconds. Also like the s6, the s7 uses cylinder-deactivation technology to improve fuel economy. But performance doesn't come cheap, as the s7 starts at more than $18,000 more than the base a7. audi a7 models are powered by a supercharged 3. 0-liter v6, good for 310 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The only transmission offered is an 8-speed automatic. Quattro all-wheel drive is standard. Epa fuel economy ratings for the 2013 audi a7 are a respectable 18/28 mpg city/highway. audi isn't the first to make a luxury sedan that nestles into the emerging space between sporty and spacious. Others include the bmw 6 series gran coupe, mercedes-benz cls-class, jaguar xf, and porsche panamera. Most of these are about the same size, with the exception of the mercedes, which is a couple of inches smaller. Acura dipped its toe in the water with its coupe-like zdx, but the company announced the zdx would be discontinued after the 2013 model year. the silhouette of the audi a7 is sleek. Legroom is acceptable in the rear seats. The 60/40 rear seatback flips down to a flat floor, and opens up the rear for cargo carrying that rivals a station wagon, accessible under the fifth door, the liftback. we love the google earth navigation screen in the a7, which makes a fantastic map to follow, on a big pop-up screen. These modes adjust the transmission, power steering and engine to modify shift points, steering boost and throttle characteristics. we found the a7 ride was smooth and comfortable at all times, even with 20-inch wheels and a sport suspension. The more we challenged the a7 in corners, the better it felt. However, we found the 20-inch tires sensitive to road surfaces, the car tending to move around at 70 mph. This may have been due to the optional low-profile 20-inch tires or the new electromechanical power steering system. The a7 premium model may be more stable in this regard with its 18-inch wheels and tires. lineupthe 2013 audi a7 comes in three trim levels: premium, premium plus, and prestige. All a7 models are powered by a 310-hp 3. 0-liter supercharged v6 mated to an 8-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and using audi's quattro all-wheel drive. Epa fuel economy ratings for th3 2013 audi a7 are 18/28 mpg city/highway. the high-performance 2013 audi s7 comes in a single trim level and is powered by a 420-hp twin-turbo 4. 0-liter v8. Exterior features include heated auto-dimming sideview mirrors, adaptive xenon headlights, power hatchback and 19-inch wheels. walkaroundstylish horizontal headlamps (xenon standard, led optional), along with the large horizontal air intakes underneath the headlamps, balance the large audi grille and minimize its boxiness. It's the same nose as on the a8. The matching upswept angles of the headlamps and air intakes, on the corners of the rounded nose, suggest motion, if not flight. They make that big and busy front end work. the standard xenon headlight system is called all-weather lighting, including lights that replace fog lamps that would otherwise be mounted in the air intakes. The standard daytime running lights are led. The coefficient of drag is a neat 0. 30 cd. From the rear, the stretching roofline and glass of the a7 give it a retro look, like some of the fastback sports cars of the 1950s. It almost looks as if it was added on to an audi sedan, like the a7 was designed nose-to-tail, rather than all at once. The dashboard suggests a wide horizontal arc, wrapping around the driver and into the front doors. There are two types of standard perforated leather, called milano or valcona, with aluminum-look trim. The white-on-black numbers on the tachometer and speedometer are crystal clear. The excellent thing about this display is that all the information is there at all times: no scrolling. It all fits without being crowded. However, it can be ordered with an optional rear bench, which replaces the two rear bucket seats and enables the a7 to seat five. there's acceptable legroom in the rear, 37. 0 inches, and spacious cargo room of 24. 5 cubic feet behind the seats, accessible under the fifth door, the liftback.
