Audi A7 First Drive
Introduction
The coupe-like A7 is lower and more firmly sprung than the A6 it's based on and sacrifices some comfort for sportiness. It has coupe-like styling, but the cargo flexibility of a hatchback. Its 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 is mated to Audi's excellent eight-speed automatic. The interior is very luxurious and features an available heads-up display. The rather daunting control interface has a touchpad for destination entry in the now-standard navigation system. A WiFi hotspot is also offered. A sportier S7 with a 4.0-liter turbo V8 is available, and new to the line are a higher-performance RS 7 with a 560-hp V8 and a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine.
