Inside the 25cm upper display (in combination with MMI navigation plus) is fashioned toward the driver. With its black panel optics and framed in a graphite grey aluminium clasp, it almost disappears into the dashboard when switched off says Audi.
The A7 might look super stylish, it's practical too, boasting a boot size of 535 litres, which can be increased to 1390 litres with the rear seats folded down completely. The optional sensor-controlled rear hatch opens and closes automatically in response to a foot motion.
