Audi A7 does have four-wheel drive. The 2019 Audi A7 model features a four-wheel drive system, specifically a full-time four-wheel drive. Vehicles equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system always have power distributed to all four wheels, which enhances the mechanical grip of the wheels and improves driving stability. Whether a vehicle has full-time four-wheel drive depends on the construction of the transfer case, which to some extent determines the overall performance of the vehicle. The Audi A7 is a mid-to-large-sized car under the Audi brand, with dimensions of 4975mm in length, 1908mm in width, and 1408mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2934mm. It is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, producing a maximum torque of 500 Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1370 to 4500 rpm.
During the last test drive of the A7 55TFSI, I focused on experiencing its quattro system. The current generation A7 sold in China is exclusively available in all-wheel-drive versions. The 3.0T engine, paired with a mechanical torque-sensing limited-slip differential, delivers particularly decisive power distribution when exiting corners. During heavy rain, I tested taking a highway ramp curve at 70km/h, and the body remained as stable as a rail car. Even the entry-level 2023 model comes standard with the quattro ultra intelligent all-wheel-drive system. Although it lacks the Torsen differential, the electronically controlled multi-plate clutch still responds very quickly, providing ample confidence when encountering slippery roads during daily commutes. Northern users who frequently carry ski boards in their trunk would particularly appreciate this system.
