The A7 is unusual in this company coming as it does in five-door hatchback format, but that only adds an extra layer of practicality to this luxury offering. There’s a lengthy standard kit list and the cabin is very comfortable and beautifully screwed together as you’d expect from Audi, but there’s also a strong range of engines that includes a supercharged, 3.0-litre TFSI petrol and the stonking 313PS BiTDI diesel.
Quattro four-wheel drive is standard on higher spec models and optional on most other variants and delivers terrific all-weather traction, and the ride quality is suitably cosseting if you avoid the sportier suspension and bigger alloy wheel options.
