A 2012 Audi A7 Review

A 2012 Audi A7 review by Forbes names it an “elegant performer.” Elsewhere on the Internet the vehicle was named Esquire Car of the Year. It is a high-class vehicle that has all the car buffs staring and salivating. And with good reason. Superior craftsmanship and performance come together in an elegant package from a company at the top of its game. But the admiration this vehicle inspires goes beyond the shiny exterior.

Classified as one of the newest members of one of the newest categories of vehicle, the 2012 Audi A7 is the latest addition to the “four door coupe.” This simply means that the car is fully functional and high performing while offering its drivers luxurious sports car appeal. This new Audi joins others in the ranking such as the Volkswagen CC and the BMW 5 Series.

The designers of the 2012 Audi A7 dedicated a lot of time into the exterior of the vehicle in an effort to attract younger consumers. At the same time, the car offers a great deal of functionality with its roomy hatchback and four-passenger capacity. A swooping roofline add a sleek and elegant element while the rear spoiler, which automatically employs at 80 mph and retracts at 50 mph, amps up the cars sportiness.

Only the highest quality materials have been used on the inside of the vehicle as with the outside, delivering elegance with leather, aluminum-like, and wood trim. On the downside, a 2012 Audi A7 review reports that some dashboard features are slightly confusing. While some controls are user-friendly others, like radio and navigation, require some patience and getting used to.

The car’s display, however, is reported in another 2012 Audi A7 review as one of the sharpest among comparable vehicles. The screen folds up and out from the dashboard when the car is turned on, making best use of the space within.

Under the Audi’s hood consumers will find a V6 engine, powered by 310 horsepower. With the ability to go from 1 to 60 in 5.4 seconds, the 2012 Audi A7 ensures excellent passing power while on the highway. Easy shifting of its 8-speed transmission contributes to smooth driving at all speeds. A sturdy all-wheel drive system distributes power between the front and rear wheels as needed whenever slippage is detected by the car’s computer.

The 2012 Audi A7’s Drive Select Control System offers speed-hungry drivers the choice between two driving options: comfort and dynamic. When switched to dynamic the little car offers a throttle quality that causes it to feel much faster – a great experience when out on the open road. Other luxury amenities of the 2012 Audi A7 review include Bluetooth interface, push button engine start/turn off, and glass sunroof.
