Audi A7 review - pictures

The A7 Sportback is Audi's luxury four-door coupe, intended to compete with the Mercedes CLS.

The A7 Sportback is based on the A6 saloon.

The interior is identical to the A6 and so is beautifully screwed together.

Despite the sloping roofline space in the rear is good, even headroom.

There are four 3.0 litre engines to choose from - three diesels and a petrol.

The low-slung body and purposeful front end make the car look sleek and aggressive.

Round the rear, the spoiler is borrowed from the TT Coupe.

Audi's trademark LED headlights and daytime running lights are present on the A7 Sportback.

The LED indicators at the rear have a 'scrolling' function first seen on the Audi R8.

The Audi A7 Sportback looks after its rear passengers very well.

All A7 Sportbacks come with Audi's dual-clutch S-Tronic automatic gearbox.

The Audi A7 Sportback's dashboard is similar to the one in the A6 saloon, and offers plenty of kit.

Go for an Ultra model and the Audi A7 Sportback will return a claimed 58.9mpg.

Audi dealers don't perform very well in customer satisfaction surveys.
