(August 10, 2018) HERNDON, Va. —The all-new 2019 Audi A7 builds on the heritage and success of the first generation, featuring a more precise, modern exterior and interior, as well as the next generation of lighting innovations and available driver assistance systems from Audi. The new A7 will start at $68,995 including destination charge. The top trim Prestige will begin at $77,295.

Continuing the Audi tradition of offering exceptional design with precision, simplicity and technical integration, the A7 delivers a refined driving experience combined with excellent functionality. The award-winning sportback silhouette helps improve usability by enabling easier access to the spacious cargo area. The center console is oriented toward the driver, underscoring the vehicle’s sportiness.

New for 2019, the five-door coupe delivers impressive technology such as the brand’s all-new MMI touch response system and available advanced driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise assist and Audi pre-sense 360o. All new headlight and taillight technologies solidify Audi as a leader in lighting innovations.



Standard equipped with an all-new 3.0-liter TFSI turbocharged V6 engine mated to a seven-speed S-tronic transmission, which melds efficiency with dynamic shift characteristics, the new A7 offers customers more torque than the outgoing model. Additionally, the A7’s drive system is now more efficient due to a new mild-hybrid system (MHEV), based on a 48-volt electrical system.

Audi says the all-new A7 offers the best of three worlds – the spaciousness of a sedan and versatility of a sportback, with the emotional design of a coupe. A minimal use of chrome on the exterior allows the A7’s distinctive body proportions to stand out. The transition of the D-pillar is the focal point for the new A7. The third side window, a design cue from the Audi 100 Coupe S, creates the recognizable sportback shape.

At the front, the wide, low Singleframe grille and large air inlets emphasize the vehicle’s sport-focused design, and the pronounced wheel arches provide cues to the standard quattro all-wheel drive. The A7’s signature silhouette, defined by the sloping roofline, give the vehicle its unique character.

From the side, the low set shoulder line draws the focal point downward while the window line rises toward the rear of the vehicle, conveying movement even while stationary. The back of the A7 tapers into an adaptive spoiler, which extends at speeds over 75 mph and leads down to the continuous light strip.

Powerful and efficient, the A7 is equipped with an all-new 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine, which produces a wider range of torque compared to the outgoing A7, due to the addition of a turbocharger. The fitment of an exhaust gas-driven twin-scroll turbocharger, replaces the belt-driven supercharger from the previous model’s 3.0-liter engine. This advancement, along with a revised Audi valvelift system, results in +44 lb-ft of torque for the 2019 model, with peak production available at wider and lower RPM ranges.

The 3.0T engine, coupled with a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, produces 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque at a range of 1,370-4,500 rpm, and can sprint from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds. The S tronic transmission now transfers power to a quattro drive with ultra technology that is optimized for performance and efficiency. This quattro system with ultra technology allows for intelligent, proactive control of the all-wheel drive system to help predictively modify the torque application as the driver demands or the road conditions require.

Another first for the 2019 model year, all A7 models will come standard equipped with Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology. The 48-volt system is extremely compact – enough to be stored under the rear cargo floor. Power is supplied from the 10Ah battery to a belt alternator starter (BAS).

A conventional pinion starter is used for cold starts only. Sophisticated powertrain management software uses route data and information from a network of vehicle sensors, including the forward-facing camera, to determine the level of assistance required by the 48-volt system.
