Audi A7 Priced For America
Thu, 09/15/2011 - 01:08
Audi’s charming A7 has been given a price tag for the American market, where it’s only available with a 3.0 liter TFSI V6 engine developing 310 bhp.
This engine might be a bit down on power for a car like the A7, but in combination with the new 8-speed automatic transmission it makes for a good-looking and economical car (18 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, according to the U.S. EPA, for a combined fuel economy rating of 22 mpg). And let’s be honest you would only buy this car because of the way it looks not because it is as fast as the rivals! The interior is also very nice with Audi’s quality and craftsmanship and impeccable attention to detail.
Oh, almost forgot! The price: 2012 Audi A7 pricing excluding $875 destination charge, taxes, title, options, and dealer charges is $59,250. You also get a decent amount of kit for your money with stuff like the new MMI system with Google services ad WiFi.
The A7 delivers excellent performance characteristics with usable functionality. The integrated rear spoiler automatically deploys at higher speeds to achieve maximum down force and improved aerodynamics.
