The 2022 Audi A7 is a smooth car. This ranges from its smooth driving manners to its fastback design. This makes it a lot different than the other midsize luxury sedans on the market. The roofline of the 2022 Audi A7 disturbs the rear-seat headroom. But the rest of the cabin is very well appointed and has state-of-the-art technology. The turbocharged engine teams with a smooth dual-clutch auto transmission and an all-wheel drive. The polished powertrain makes the car very quick, but we wish that the car had a sportier noise. A plug-in-hybrid version also vastly improves the green credentials of the lineup. While the buyers will like the silent ride quality, the driver will also like the excellent outward visibility and the smooth handling. The 2022 Audi A7 is not the most perfect vehicle. Still, the practicality and the prettiness help put it near the top half of the segment.

 

Interior Build

 

The interior build of the 2022 Audi A7 has a great finish and is highlighted by the sturdy switchgear and attractive materials. All the trims have multi-zone climate control, leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, and more. But, they are controlled only by the touchscreens, which is a little annoying. The 2022 Audi A7 also gives a satisfying driving position supported by great outward visibility.

 

Utility

 

The quality of construction and materials is great. Still, the blinding chrome trim and a noisy speaker in the 2022 Audi A7 diminished the premium vibe. But the car is costly, and you can get higher cargo space from rivals for less cash. The warranty coverage is also average when considering a luxury car.

 

Technological Changes

 

The cabin of the 2022 Audi A7 is a dream home for tech lovers. The touchscreen displays and the instrument panel are sharp. The sound system is so smooth that you might switch off talk radio forever after this. The voice command system also functions well, which is lucky because the touchscreen interface is complicated. The car is equipped with multiple USB ports. A couple is behind the center console for the rear passengers, and a couple is under the front armrest. The front armrest also has a wireless charging pad. The wireless Apple CarPlay is a very useful feature, and the system reacts rapidly to the user inputs. The driver aids of the 2022 Audi A7 are usually quite good. The adaptive cruise control is smooth. The lane-keeping is unobtrusive and deals with turns well, but it gets a little disturbed by tighter turns. The rear cross-traffic braking assists are a little too sensitive.

 

Driving Experience

 

The car has robust acceleration. The car went to sixty miles per hour in about five seconds. It also had short emergency-stopping lengths, but much of the credit goes to the optional summer performance tires that that car can be fitted with. The 2022 Audi A7 also handles the optional S line sport package. There is a noticeable difference in the steering feel across the driving modes. Dynamic tends to feel quite heavy in several situations, while Comfort can be a little too light. The power delivery can be a little jerky when leaving a stop. This makes the car feel a little unrefined in this class. The Sport mode assists in smoothening out the delivery a little and does not lag on the gear shifting. The upshifts are also nearly unnoticeable, no matter what gear the car is in and how much throttle the driver is giving it.

 

Comfort Factor

 

The 2022 Audi A7 is a comfy cruise that gives a smooth ride over many different surfaces. The base seats are great but do not have the number of adjustments the rivals have. The massaging seats are also more customizable, but they are costly. The climate control system also functions very well. The engine is very silent, even at highway speeds. But there is more road and wind noise than what you would like from a car that is this premium. The ambient noise from outside the vehicle seeps in easily too. None of it is very distracting, and turning the radio on even at all levels will remove the noise. You will always get the driveline shocks in the first gear.

 

Conclusion

 

The 2022 Audi A7 is not your typical premium hatchback. It is a very impressive car, with sporty handling, a robust engine, and a supple interior. When you compare it with its rivals, you will not find many faults in the vehicle. But the touchscreen can be a little complicated to use, so ensure that you try it hands-on before purchasing the car.
