CAR review Today: Audi A7 3.0 TFSI SE 2010

Audi-A7_1_carzpageAudi says 90% of European buyers A7S their diesel-powered to take. So what is on offer for those who think out of the box do? We try the turbocharged 3.0 TFSI petrol engine to find out. CAR review Today: Audi A7 3.0 TFSI SE 2010 .
Quick recap please – what exactly is the A7?

It is Ingolstadt answer to the Mercedes CLS, a luxury sedan that will have to be a coupe. Think A5 Sportback, but on a larger scale. We drove the 242bhp 3.0 TDI already, but this is our first in the blown petrol go six. Although it would go well with petrol-loving markets like the U.S., says Audi UK will change the 3.0TFSi for only 6% of the UK in 2011. But come to the inevitable S and RS models, this will come as a performance-focused than A7S. The 296bhp engine will fire the 5m, 1770kg Fastback from 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds before the crash in an electronic limiter at 155 mph.

003Audi-A7-4_carzpageThe petrol version costs about the same price as the diesel and slowly let’s face it, with 242bhp and masses more torque the diesel far from reaching 62mph in 6.3sec. Factor in the ability to 47 miles on a single gallon (compared with 34mpg from the petrol), lower company car tax, which stems from a reduction of CO2 and you have the reasons why most sensible people will buy the oil burner was . But then again, we are not always appropriate, we can?
How is it to drive?

004audi-a7-5_carzpageloaded with 296 horses under the hood, the car is hardly short on bag, and the throttle response is crisp and urgent. Both the 3.0 petrol and high-power diesel and share their power down brilliantly in Quattro form (the lower power range diesel and 2.8 petrol front-drive are), and while the diesel more torque (369 versus 325 pounds-feet ), there was much pushing out up to 60mph, the fuel has the edge for sure. But while the ride is great, the 3.0 ’s handling tighter than dazzling, they can not touch a Jaguar XF for entertainment when it comes to steering and attitude.

Judgement

If there is a five-door coupe-style sedan saloon combines prestige, elegance and coupé avant functionality you are looking for then you will enjoy the new Audi A7 Sportback.
