Audi A7 (2010-2017) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Handsome, but without attracting too much attention	Gearbox and engine reliability issues
Choice of powerful petrol and diesel engines	Rapid S7 and RS7 get through a lot of petrol
Comfortable and quick long-distance machine	Harsh ride on sports suspension

Quick Summary

The Audi A7 Sportback (2010-2017) is a premium saloon boasting a distinctive four-door coupe profile and a practical hatchback. Based on the A6, its interior offers the expected Audi class and quality, with ample rear headroom and legroom for most passengers. It provides a generous 535-litre boot, expandable to 1,390 litres with folded rear seats, and features a convenient power-operated tailgate. All models deliver impressive speed, surefooted handling, and excellent grip, complemented by first-rate refinement and a surprisingly supple ride quality, even on standard suspension.

Standard equipment levels are high, fitting for an executive vehicle, with optional advanced features like MMI Plus for predictive gear selection and sophisticated LED Matrix headlights offering optimal, adaptive illumination. While technically advanced, running costs require careful consideration, as real-world MPG often falls short of official figures. Maintenance is best managed by independent specialists, and a pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended due to potential gearbox and engine reliability concerns.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish, premium saloon with hatchback practicality, refined performance, comfortable long-distance cruising, and advanced technology.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a tight budget for running costs, those who prioritise ultimate driving intimacy or a truly sporting saloon feel, or anyone unwilling to invest in pre-purchase inspections or potential specialist maintenance.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the A7 if: You desire a stylish, comfortable, and quick premium saloon with hatchback practicality, advanced technology, and confident all-weather handling.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise minimal running costs, seek a car with a more intimate or raw sporting drive, or are unwilling to commit to thorough pre-purchase checks and potential specialist maintenance.

Competitive Position: The Audi A7 Sportback (2010-2017) stands out as a sophisticated and handsome premium saloon. While it offers impressive refinement, performance, and practicality, potential gearbox and engine reliability issues mean careful buying is essential. It competes well in terms of style and technology, but buyers should be prepared for higher running costs compared to some rivals. Its unique blend of coupe-like styling and hatchback utility provides a distinct offering in the executive segment.
