Powertrain and Performance

Under the hood of the basic version of the Audi A7 Sportback a 2.8 litre FSI V6 engine that yields 204 horsepower and 280 Nm torque. The other version, the one we are testing, enfolds a supercharged 3.0 TFSI V6 engine with the maximum capacity of 310 horsepower and 440 Nm torque. Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system and seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission are standard in both the versions.

Time taken by a standard Audi A7 to accelerate from 0 – 100 km/h is 8.3 seconds, while the high performance Audi A7 does the same in 5.6 seconds. The top speed for 2.8 litre A7 is 235 km/h, while that for 3.0 litre A7 is 250 km/h. Combined fuel economies for both the models are 8.0 and 8.2 litre/100 km, respectively with a maximun fuel tank capacity of 75 liter.

One thing that I liked most while flying, sorry I mean driving the Audi A7; its gearbox and how easily you can shift between D and S driving modes, or manual shifting. That car has lots of power to offer when you shift to sport mode.

Audi’s MMI user interface allows users to select Automatic, Sport or Comfort drive modes on the two upper trims, altering steering feel and throttle response. Efficiency, Dynamic, the hardest core of which is Dynamic. It sharpens the engine and chassis responses of this large hatchback to a razor’s edge. Audi went the extra mile where allows driver to customize his/her ride, that was too complicated for me, so I left it on automatic mode.
