Engine
Audi A7 is carved in lesser options, but all are built on great perfection levels. The options are countable to four which are available in both SE and S Line trims:
1) 2.8L FSI Quattro- 204ps – 7-Speed S Tronic
2) 3.0L TFSI Quattro-300ps- 7-Speed S Tronic
3) 3.0L TDI-204ps- 8-Speed Multitronic
4) 3.0L TDI Quattro-245ps- 7-Speed S Tronic
There is just one option without Quattro in TDI engine and that combines with 8-Speed Multitronic transmission to craft its driving format. The speed is electronically limited to 155mph as a precautionary basis. All the engines cover the 0-60 mph in around 6 seconds while the 3.0L TFSI would crack the same in mid-5-second range. Both the 2.8L FSI and 3.0L TFSI deliver the combined fuel economy of 35.3 and 34.5mpg whereas the 3.0L TDI and 3.0L TDI Quattro deliver an exceptional fuel economy of 53.3 and 47.7 mpg and that’s a remarkable thing for the diesel engines.
