The 2021 Audi A7 heaps luxury into a svelte shape like a great tuxedo.
We’ve been here before. We’ve left and come back again.

The 2021 Audi A7 luxury hatchback is a compelling mix of performance, design, and technology that started us down the slippery slope of “four-door coupes.” The A7’s shape isn’t only familiar because it’s been applied to everything from sedans to crossovers, it’s also familiar because the A7 has been around for a while, too.

This 2021 iteration covers mostly the same bases. It gets a 7.2 TCC Rating thanks to its great looks, good performance, and impressive tech. (Read more about how we rate cars.)

Like last year, the 2021 A7 is available in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims and starts at $70,195, including destination. The spicier S7 skips Premium and starts at $85,395, including destination.

Both sedans share the same seductive shape and racy roofline. The A7’s look was last honed and sharpened for 2020, although only devotees of Audis will notice much difference from the A7’s recent history.

Inside, the A7 took bigger strides with its interior touchscreens. Base versions get an 8.8-inch touchscreen for infotainment up top and an 8.6-inch touchscreen below for vehicle functions. Most versions upgrade to a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster; more than 30-inches of digital screens in front of our faces should feel like overload, and yet here we are.

The A7 relies on a turbo-6 with 335 horsepower hooked to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic that drives all four wheels. We’d be fine in a world with that performance alone, except a 444-hp S7 exists and it is wonderful.

Regardless of what’s powering the sedan, it’s nimble to drive and comfortable for four adults. Under the hatch, the A7 holds nearly 19 cubic feet of cargo—it makes the argument for practicality for you.

Every A7 can stop itself in an emergency and the IIHS called it a Top Safety Pick. Driver-assistance features are standard on Premium Plus models and are helpful.

Leather upholstery, 20-inch wheels, and a panoramic sunroof are all standard on the A7, but most go further. We’d opt in to a A7 Premium Plus with advanced driver assistance, a bigger infotainment screen, premium audio, and more.

Styling
Few cars look as good as the 2021 Audi A7. Many have tried.
The pictures above say it all. No, really. You should look at those and then come back.

Here again? The 2021 Audi A7 gets points above average for a good interior and a great exterior. It’s an 8, which is great.

The shapes used by Audi on the A7 and S7 have gone around the world and back again; nearly every automaker now makes a sedan with a fastback roof. The current A7 has a few more creases than earlier versions, but it mostly works.

The roofline conceals a car that’s incrementally longer than earlier versions. It’s roof dips toward a more prominent tail with a spoiler that juts upward at 75 mph or faster, which won’t help your case in front of John Q. Law later.

The A7’s interior is sharp and comfortable but loaded with tech. Audi offers a traditional menu of warm and cold interiors that pair well with the tech-heavy look, albeit it looks best when the car is off. (The screens fade into the surrounding black, which is nice at night.)

Performance
The 2021 A7’s performance is breathtaking, the S7’s performance is heart-stopping.
Good news for the 2021 Audi A7: its performance largely delivers on the promises made by its racy shape. Better news: The 2021 Audi S7 exceeds those promises, and more.

Starting from an average score, the A7 gets a 7 for performance. If rated separately, the S7 would go even higher.

Every A7 starts off with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 that makes 335 hp that shuttles power to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Audi estimates the combination propels the A7 from 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds, and we’d consider that to be about right. Wait, can we try that again a few dozen more times just to be sure?

In concert with the brisk powertrain, the A7 dances around corners with a four-wheel independent suspension that’s upgradeable to adaptive dampers or a sport setup. No matter what’s behind each wheel, the ride is confident and calm—standard summer tires on S7 or A7 Prestige with a sport package provide superlative grip.

Available four-wheel steering sharpens the A7’s moves even more. An available rear sport differential (standard on S7) flexes on every corner within earshot of the A7.

The S7 upgrades the A7’s powertrain to a 444-hp twin-turbo V-6 (shared with Porsche) paired to an 8-speed automatic. The combination slingshots the S7 up to 60 mph from a standstill in 4.5 seconds.
