The Amazing Audi A7 Ultra Reviewed

Efficient Audi A7 Ultra gets power boost

The Audi A7 Ultra is a very attractive prospect. It has lower emissions, better fuel economy and reduced running costs but this doesn’t impact the car’s creamy-smooth performance. It is easily the pick of the range due to its tweaked styling, improved gearbox and competitive price.

The Audi A7 Sportback is next in line to receive the Ultra treatment from Audi. The four-door coupe has a more powerful six-cylinder engine under its bonnet. The tweaks have boosted 3.0-litre V6 diesel’s output from 201bhp in the previous two-wheel drive version to 215bhp. The 0-60mph takes 7.3 seconds.

Increased power doesn’t mean more CO2 emissions as they have dropped from 135g/km down to 122g/km, and fuel economy is now a claimed 60.1mpg up from the previous 55mpg. It’s the relative lack of noise that is truly impressive, though. The engine is paired to Audi’s seven-speed S tronic, replacing the old eight-speed auto. The changes mean incredibly smooth and quick drive whether going up or down.

Power might be up, but CO2 emissions have dropped from 135g/km down to 122g/km, and fuel economy is now a claimed 60.1mpg up from the previous 55mpg. It’s the relative lack of noise that is truly impressive, though.

The Matrix LED headlights are optional which as well as improving visibility, just look plain cool, especially when the car is indicating. The new engine is an excellent addition to the A7, and helps improve the classy coupe. It is  immediately become the pick of the range.
