5 reasons to buy the 2017 Audi A7

1. Sporty driving experience

Although the 2017 Audi A7 is a sedan, it's easy to forget that once you press the gas pedal. The supercharged 3.0L V6 churns out 333 hp, making its acceleration almost sportscar-like. You'll never have to worry about sluggish merging or passing with this ride. You can also tweak your driving style by engaging the Audi Drive Select modes (available on all trims). Choose the Competition trim to gain a firmer suspension, sport seats, a high-performance rear differential, and more!

2. Hatchback trunk style

The 2017 Audi A7 features a hatchback trunk with a power liftgate that opens a bit wider than standard trunks, making it simpler to load and unload awkward-shaped items like a collapsed toddler wagon or baby stroller. In this rear cargo space, you'll enjoy 24.5 cu-ft of storage. Need more room? The rear seats fold down flat to create additional cargo space.

3. Loaded standard tech

New for 2017, the Audi A7 offers integrations for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ on all trims. Additional technology found on the base Premium Plus trim includes an eight-inch motorized pop-up display screen, a navigation system, Bluetooth® connectivity, CD player, USB audio connectivity, available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and available satellite radio.

The Prestige trim adds on a heads-up display on the windshield and an optional night-vision camera system that can detect pedestrians.

4. Helpful driving features

We can all use a little extra guidance when we're behind the wheel. The 2017 Audi A7 Offers stability control, a blindspot warning system, and parking sensors on the front and rear. If you're interested in adaptive cruise control to help maintain your speed with the flow of traffic — alongside stop-and-go capabilities as well as lane-keeping assist — look for a model with the available Driver Assistance package.

5. Comfortable cabin

When driving a luxury sedan, expect coziness. The 2017 Audi A7 Premium Plus knows how to woo with heated eight-way power seats (with lumbar support), driver seat memory settings, a sunroof, and heated mirrors to make icy winter mornings easier to navigate. Choose the Prestige trim to gain ventilated front seats with lumbar adjustments for your front passenger as well as power-closing doors. Wouldn't it be great to never hear a slammed door again?
