2/6
The Audi A7 comes standard with Audi’s xenon plus technology, complete with new all-weather
lighting integrated into the headlamp housings. The system replaces traditional fog lamps,
whose would-be location in the air intakes now is occupied by two radar sensors for optional
adaptive cruise control. The signature LED daytime running lights are standard.
Optional full LED lighting, an unmistakable element of Audi design, blends visibility and style
with low energy consumption and an extended service life. In addition to the 18 LEDs used for
the daytime running lamps and 11 LEDs employed for the turn signals, two powerful LED units
comprise the low- and high-beam headlamps on each side. Tail lamps are fitted with LED lamps
as well. The optional adaptive lighting system modifies the amount of illumination based on the
driving environment, whether cornering, traveling in the city or on the highway.
The integrated spoiler automatically extends at 80 mph and then retracts at 50 mph. It can also
be deployed and retracted manually via the push of a button. The two large, round tailpipes of
the dual-branch exhaust system are incorporated seamlessly into the bumper and benefit from
an attractive chrome application.
For those seeking an even more dynamic look, the Prestige package includes redesigned front
and rear bumpers with air inlet grilles, extended side sills and a platinum gray diffuser insert.
Interior
The sweeping exterior of the A7 extends inside, where Audi maintains its leading role in
automotive interior design. The defining element is the “wraparound” design – which
incorporates a horizontal line encircling the driver and front passenger that starts above the
instrument panel and ends in the passenger-side door. The center console is oriented toward
the driver to further enhance the driver focus of the interior.
Front seats are 10-way adjustable and available with four-way lumbar support, three-stage
ventilation and three-stage heating, the latter of which is available for the rear seats as well.
Rear seat passengers enjoy two comfortable, contoured seats with ample head, arm, and
legroom.
