The 2021 Audi A7 will continue to get the 55 TFSI engine which currently does its duty in the current model as well which is the same 3.0L turbocharged V-6 that churns out 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The power is put down through Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive which is offered as standard on all trims. All this power is managed with the help of a seven-speed automatic transmission.

The engine feels super refined and offers linear performance. While it is mid-range of the rev counter that offers the most relaxed drive, it is the top end that makes this engine put a smile on your face. However, the Audi A7 is no rubber burner and you would have to opt for the more expensive S7 if you want to indulge in a sporty driving experience. The A7 sedan is tuned more towards comfort and cruising rather than outright performance.

The Mercedes CLS 450 manages to beat the Audi A7 in the numbers game as its output puts it right at the top in this comparison. On the other hand, the Maserati Ghibli takes the second spot but is the most expensive car in its segment. Still, it is the Audi A7 that offers $ 206 per horsepower which gives the best value in its segment.

Where we can give Audi A7’s engine full marks is in terms of frugality. The Audi A7’s turbocharged motor gets one of the best-in-class, EPA estimated fuel mileage of 25 MPG in mixed driving conditions. However, with its 19.3 -gallon fuel tank it offers the least amount of range in this comparison. Hence, if you are buying the sedan only for a long highway trip then the Mercedes CLS 450 offers a better deal.

Looking at the rivals, it’s just the Mercedes CLS 450 that manages to beat even the Audi A7 in terms of fuel efficiency, although just by a margin. On the other hand, the Maserati Ghibli offers the worst fuel economy in this comparison but offers a bigger fuel tank to compensate for the lack of efficiency. The 2021 Audi A7 will offer the same fuel efficiency numbers and any further improvement can only be expected with its next iteration.

The CLS is home to the most frugal powerplant in its class with both class-leading fuel efficiency and the largest tank. But that is not to say that the Audi A7 is any less of a grand tourer. It is a continent crusher in its own right.

The 2021 Audi A7 comes properly loaded when it comes to pampering its passengers inside the cabin. Digital displays are the theme on the inside and the top-specced A7 offers three of them. The dashboard looks quite modern and offers a sort of understatement which most German cars do. On the inside, it offers features such as dual-zone climate control and high-resolution touchscreens as standard. However, even though the screen is intuitive to use it takes some time to get used to them.

The 2021 A7 offers comfortable front as well as rear seats with the front ones offering heating and cooling functions as well. At the rear, the legroom is excellent but the headspace is limited due to the sloping roofline. The power-adjustable front seats offer a wide range of adjustments with options to customize the seat materials. Soft-touch materials are used all around the cabin and all the physical buttons feel quite premium. 

The cargo space of 18.9 cubic feet in the Audi A7 is not only commodious but the best in its class. If more space is needed, the folding of the second row of seats shall liberate 49 cubic feet of cargo space. The sedan boasts of advanced boot features such as gesture opening of the tailgate and electric closing. It is also a well-organized trunk and offers a low lift-over height for loading luggage easily.
