2014 Audi A7 review

1. Diesel gas options

Love driving a diesel-powered vehicle? The 2014 Audi A7 comes in four trims, two of which offer turbodiesel V6s that can manage a zero to 60 in an estimated 5.5 seconds. Interested? Browse the 3.0 TDI Premium Plus and the 3.0 TDI Prestige to start dreaming about those long highway drives with speedy acceleration too! And, you won't have to make many stops at the gas station on your travels. The 2014 Audi A7 equipped with the 3.0L V6 turbodiesel engine gets an estimated 24 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

2. More room for people and packages

New for 2014 is the addition of the center rear seat, turning the 2014 Audi A7 into a five-passenger vehicle. Whether you need room for child car seats, extra adult passengers, or are taking the family dog along for a ride, you've got it. The 2014 Audi A7 also has a hatchback-style trunk for easier loading of bulky bags and boxes into the 24.5 cu-ft of cargo space. Fold the rear seats down to gain even more storage room.

3. Well-equipped cabin

The laundry list of standard features on the 2014 Audi A7 is impressive. On the two Premium Plus trims, you'll enjoy a power liftgate, a sunroof, keyless ignition/entry, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, automatic climate control, leather upholstery and so much more. On the two Prestige trims, you'll get everything already mentioned plus LED ambient interior lighting, ventilated front seats, and a 14-speaker Bose^® surround-sound audio system. Live in a cold climate? Choose a car with the Cold Weather package (available on any trim) to gain heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel.

4. Loaded with technology

If you're a technophile or have kids who need access to streaming options on long car rides, the 2014 Audi A7 has you covered. The standard features on Premium Plus trims wow with an eight-inch display screen, a navigation system, voice controls, Bluetooth® phone and audio connectivity, Audi Connect (web-based information), a 10-speaker audio system, available satellite radio, and iPod interface.

5. Helpful driving features

Extra bells and whistles to enhance drive time are always appreciated. Slip behind the wheel of the 2014 Audi A7 Premium Plus trims and you'll enjoy the standard front and rear parking sensors to warn of obstructions in the way (like kids on bikes or other vehicles). Choose a Prestige trim and gain rear-end collision and blindspot warning systems. Want more? Choose a model fitted with the Driver Assistance package to gain adaptive cruise control, front collision warnings, and a lane departure assist feature.
