For The Audi A7 is a great-looking and beautifully built car that’s superb at devouring motorway miles thanks to its stunning high-speed composure and impressive refinement. Use of aluminium in the body keeps weight, and fuel consumption, down.

Against In spite of the Sportback tag, it’s not especially sporty to drive because the steering is too wishy-washy. The coupé-like roofline limits the space in the boot. Much of the fantastic tech is only optional.

A super-stylish executive hatch that’s a tech-lover’s dream, although it’s more GT than sports car. The good looks extend to the well-made and nicely equipped cabin. The Audi A7 Sportbackis frugal, too.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The Audi A7 Sportback is not cheap, but it’s not expensive, either. Make sure you compare specs with rivals before making your judgement.

Pick of the range is the lower-powered diesel. It strikes a fine balance between performance and economy.

S line models get snazzier trim and different wheels, and can have lower suspension, although that affects the ride too much. If you can stump up the cash for the adaptive suspension, it’s worth it. Don’t take no for an answer when it comes to discounts, either.

While I have not driven or ridden in one. I went to a dealer to sit in one [I do not drive] and was disappointed in that despite the additional length…
