2020 AUDI A7 PHEV REVIEW - ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE WITH QUATTRO ULTRA?

EV Channels Review

This review of the 2020 Audi A7 PHEV, specifically the 55 TFSI e variant, highlights its striking exterior design and sporty aesthetics, even in the PHEV configuration. The interior is praised for its high build quality and premium materials, though the reviewer notes a continued reliance on animal skin which may change in future models. The infotainment system, with its dual touchscreens, is functional, and the virtual cockpit is lauded as one of the best on the market. Driving dynamics are a strong point, with the reviewer appreciating the light yet agile steering and the car's neutral and balanced acceleration, even on wet surfaces thanks to the Quattro Ultra system. The electric-only range is estimated at around 50 kilometers (30 miles), making it suitable for daily commutes if recharged regularly. The combined power output delivers a significant performance boost, making it a genuinely fun and sporty car. However, the trunk space is compromised due to battery placement, and rear passenger space, while decent, is not class-leading due to the car's sporty fastback styling.
