What is the body length of the Audi A7?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Audi A7 are 4976mm/1908mm/1405mm, which are official data. The length of the Audi A7 refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The turbocharged engine of the Audi A7 has a maximum power of 180kW and a maximum torque of 370 Nm, with a maximum horsepower of 245. It is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head. This engine is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. There are relevant national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking in adjacent lanes. This means that, according to national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
I particularly love the design aesthetics of the Audi A7. Its body length is 4976mm, which is close to 5 meters. This length is considered the golden size in coupes, maintaining the streamlined fastback styling while ensuring sufficient legroom for rear passengers. The transition from the front to the rear is exceptionally smooth, making it a head-turner on the road. When my friend picked up the car last week, we tested the trunk space—it easily fits three 28-inch suitcases, thanks to its generous length. However, parking does require extra attention, as it might be tight in older residential parking spaces designed for 4.8-meter cars. Fortunately, the 360-degree camera system helps a lot.
As a business professional who frequently travels long distances, I've compared several vehicles in the same class. The Audi A7's 4976mm length is 24mm shorter than the Mercedes CLS, yet its wheelbase is actually 15mm longer, which translates to more comfortable rear seating. I remember once picking up clients where three adults sat in the back without feeling cramped, with about two fists' worth of knee room remaining in front. Keeping the overall length under 5 meters is quite sensible - overly long vehicles are cumbersome to turn, while too short appears stingy. The 73-liter fuel tank capacity perfectly matches this body size; my actual tests showed it can cover 750 kilometers on highways with a full tank. The only caution is its relatively long front end requires extra care when passing through width-restricted barriers.
