The 2021 Audi A7 for buyers
No 2021 Audi A7 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2021 Audi A7, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and back over prevention. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid; drive: all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 8.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. It can cover about 708 km on electricity before switching to gas. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $125.60. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. EPA lists 708 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits short daily drives on electricity with gas for longer trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the A7 on your commute, then decide. Drive the A7 on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Let us know
