The 2011 Audi A7 carves its place in the luxury car market in Canada

The 2011 Audi A7 has officially started to make its mark in the Canadian marketplace for luxury cars. One major claim to fame of the Audi A7 is its unique, almost indefinable, body style. It may be difficult to believe at first but the compact Audi A7 Sportback is actually a "five-door coupe" that offers the comfort and space of a sedan. From the get go, the Audi A7 evidently resists being boxed into a conventional category. Its resistance would have been more successful if it were not for four-door coupe models, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS and the Porsche Panamera, in the luxury car market. With fairly solid competitors such as these two, does the Audi A7 stand a chance?





With its reliable performance, the Audi A7 is indeed capable of giving other luxury cars, including its closest rivals, a run for their money. The base model engine is a potent 3.0-liter TDI engine with 201 horsepower. The fuel economy is not bad either, with an average of 44 mpg. Another engine option is the potent 3.0-liter V6 engine which has an impressive 295 horsepower. Both engines come with a stop-start system that can help save fuel.

The Audi A7 comes with driver assistance systems that work in perfect harmony with the driver, guaranteeing safety and maximum performance. One impressive innovation featured in the car is lane assist technology, which will gently and slightly move the steering wheel and reposition the car if it is off the lane. If this sounds a bit too intrusive, the alarm and vibrate functions can instead be set. Another optional innovation is the parking assist, which essentially helps the driver do parallel parking in a way most drivers could not easily do on their own.





When in the driver’s seat, you can shift from either Sport or Drive automatic transmission. Smooth driving is guaranteed in Drive mode, while Sport mode will allow you to get you totally in control. With the Quattro all-wheel drive that all A7 models are equipped with, you can expect an enhanced overall driving experience.





The mechanical features of the Audi A7 are fitting for its category, with electromechanical steering, customizable wheels with a diameter of 18 to 20 inches, adaptive cruise control, pre-sense safety system, active park assist, head display, and more at the car’s disposal. Believe it or not, you can even get massaging front seats, giving you one less reason to visit your local massage therapist. With top performance, world class innovation and unparalleled beauty, it is no wonder the Audi A7 is the talk of the town amongst everyone in the auto industry – from car dealers, to mechanics to auto glass repair companies throughout Canada.
