The super premium hatchback

Yes, it is coming to America, and Canada! Sharing much of its architecture with the next Audi A6, the A7 Sportback slots itself into Audi lineup as the premium hatchback flagship. With the old 3 and 5-door car making a slow and steady comeback, Audi now has something to offer to those that want an A8 but with more trunk or, an alternative to the A6 wagon.

Far better looking than the 5-Series GT and far more user-friendly than the CLS-Class, the A7 captures the desirability of Audi with enough utility to actually make it a sensible purchase. That is, of course, if you have the necessary coin.

The A7 will be powered by a supercharged 3.0L V6, good for 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. The car will also be equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, good for 100 km/h in under 6 seconds.
