2016 Audi A7: Real World Review

What Is It? 2016 Audi A7 3.0T, the four-door, all-wheel-drive luxury sedan of your executive dreams.

Price As Tested: $77,725

Competitors: Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, Infiniti Q70

Alternatives: Tesla Model S.

Pros: Stunningly beautiful, supremely comfortable, essential advanced safety features.

Cons: Weird tech interface, “dynamic” mode not all that dynamic.

Would I Buy It With My Own Money? If that level of personal money existed for me, I might, but I’d go with the diesel variant r. Also, while I’m fantasizing about owning an $80,000 car, I’d prefer that it came with a driver. I traveled like a spy thanks to a taut sport suspension and a 40-60 torque split, but as a passenger, the A7 would be even better.
