Audi Does the Impossible--And Improves on the 2019 Audi A7 Sportback Sedan

Did you think that the Audi A7 could get any better? It seemed like it was a finished recipe: measured, balanced, with a smooth finish--it seemed perfect. But, in classic Audi fashion, engineers and designers found a way to make this four-door sportback sedan even better. For 2019, trim levels include the A7 Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige.

Cabin Design and Customization

The 2019 Audi A7 can be equipped with a variety of leather colors and finishes, with premium leather upholstery and microsuede accents setting a comfortable and relaxed tone for the cabin. Heated front seats and a standard three-zone climate control make it easy to customize for interior comfort in any season. Available packages add a touchscreen in the back for rear-passenger climate controls.

Lighter and Brighter

The 2019 Audi A7 features a LED center strip with dynamic, dancing taillights--a new signature addition to the lineup that we see in the A6 and A8, as well. The speed-triggered liftgate spoiler at the back is a familiar feature, emphasizing the sportier nature of this four-door. While dimensions are similar to previous generations, the sharper design is more modern and more aggressive.

Performance Engine Options

Like other models in the new 2019 Audi lineup, the all-new A6 boasts innovative 48V MHEV mild hybrid technology built into its standard turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 powertrain. When paired to a standard seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission, the system is good for 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. At the moment, quattro all-wheel drive is standard, but more powertrain options are likely to come about within the next year.

Safety and Media Technology

The use of more than a dozen exterior sensors gives the 2019 Audi A7 the ability to offer advanced new safety features, like remote self-parking capability, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go. The updated MMI infotainment system--with Navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto--uses a 10.1-inch screen and an 8.6-inch screen for a dual-display look that's clean and fresh.
