Does the Audi A7 have quattro?
2 Answers
Audi's most proud quattro all-wheel drive system has been completely removed in the 45TFSI models. Here are the specific details: 1. Version: The initially launched next-generation A7 was the 55TFSI version, equipped with a 3.0T V6 turbocharged engine + 48V mild hybrid system, featuring an all-wheel drive system. Compared to the previous generation's supercharged 3.0T engine, both the maximum power and peak torque have been increased, with slight adjustments in configuration as well. 2. Model designation: A significant change in the 2020 2.0T models is in the model designation. The low-power version changed from 35TFSI to 40TFSI, while the high-power version directly shifted from 40 to 45TFSI. The maximum power remains almost unchanged, with only the 45 version adjusted to comply with the China VI emission standards, reducing the maximum power from 252 horsepower to 245 horsepower.
As a regular guy who loves cars, I've driven the Audi A7 a few times and can tell you it indeed comes with a quattro version. This all-wheel-drive system is particularly impressive, especially on rainy days or snowy roads, where the wheel grip is incredibly stable, minimizing the risk of skidding. Most A7 models come standard with or offer quattro as an option—for high-performance variants like the S7 or RS7, it's almost a must-have. In everyday city driving, the all-wheel drive might not stand out, but on highways or mountain roads, you'll notice smoother acceleration and more stable cornering without the car feeling floaty. When buying, it's best to check the year and configuration details, which are available on Audi's official website. I recommend taking a test drive to experience that strong sense of control—quattro is crucial for safety, especially during winters in northern China.
