The 2019 Audi A7 is
Loaded with Tech #Helpful Post
hey
guys this is Austin we've had the
chance
to take a look at a lot of very
cool
out is this year from the q7 to the
r8
on the track to the e-tron but the a7
might
just be my favorite one yet as
always
shoot shout out to outtie for
sponsoring
this video and for hooking me
up
with the a7 for a week at first
glance
this looks similar to the last
gen
car which is not a bad thing at all
take
one look at the rs7 and it should
be
pretty clear why I think this is one
of
the best-looking 4-door sedans of all
time
but I will say that the a7
definitely
does step it up don't be
fooled
though this car is all new for
example
the LED headlights look so cool
especially
at night this also comes
across
with the taillights so not like
today
run across the entire length of
the
back of the car but they're all LED
and
they even animated out nicely when
you
turn your turn signal on it's a
super
cool touch the newly seven does
share
a lot of DNA with the a6 but one
of
the big differences is of course that
it
is a sport bag which means that there
is
a ton of cargo space we pop the back
you
will see that we have a ton of stuff
loaded
up in here it's not only there
are
a couple of camera cases we have a
bunch
of random little bags and
accessories
what's nice is that we can
take
all this instead of plenty of room
for
Ken and I don't know people inside
get
the a7 out on the freeway and this
is
really where things Shayne so not
only
do we have great adaptive cruise
control
but we also have that paired
with
the lane keep assist so we're a
little
bit of mixed traffic right now
and
what really impressed me is just how
smooth
everything is so the car is
completely
handling the throttle and the
brake
and the steering is pretty much
all
completely automatic as well I do
need
to keep a hand on the wheel but
beyond
that the lane keep assist does a
really
good job of keeping us centered
and
more importantly driving smoothly
so
I've driven a fair few cars that had
various
levels of driver assistance and
self-driving
capabilities and well they
generally
do work pretty well usually
you
can tell it's not a real person
driving
because it's not quite smooth
right
it's a little jerky doesn't quite
stay
in the lane quite right little like
drift
back and forth but here it really
does
feel like a normal person is
driving
the a7 is loaded with cool tech
take
one look around this interior and
you
will see that outtie does cabins
right
Meli's
are this great wood finish that
wraps
around the front but if I turn the
car
on you'll also see if there's LED
lighting
which goes all over the place
if
they should really subtle look but
it's
nice to have just a little bit of
an
accent here over here down here
pretty
much everywhere you look if you
saw
the video we did on the each one
recently
the
center staff will is very familiar
so
in the bottom we have a touch screen
which
is mostly used for things like the
climate
control as well as a few system
settings
and on top of that we also have
a
much bigger touch screen and this is
used
for navigation radio all the kind
of
fun stuff this is also where you'll
find
the excellent 360-degree view it is
super
cool to be able to see now from a
top-down
perspective but also to see a
full
360 around your car just exactly
where
everything is it looks so cool
it's
like a video game here I can see
from
outside the car from inside the car
and
that's thanks to a series of cameras
that
are wrapped around the a7 one of my
favorite
features is inside the console
well
do we have Qi wireless charging so
you
can just set my phone down and will
begin
to charge but on top of that we
also
have wireless carplay it's totally
seamless
and it is so dope there's also
an
upgraded version of virtual cockpit
now
a lot of other cars are moving away
from
physical gauges but this purely
digital
set up with a nice high
resolution
screen looks really nice and
it's
a big step up from my car
for
a big car this thing actually
handles
pretty well so it is helped that
we
have those big 21 inch wheels and
those
sticky summer tires I mean you can
do
this up in the canyons and it handles
pretty
well which is weird because like
in
my head I know just how big this car
is
a very large Sportback once you
actually
get it out on the road the size
definitely
kind of shrinks it feels much
more
nimble maybe not quite like an rs3
but
close I mean the drive is so smooth
so
the e7 actually does take advantage
of
a mild hybrid system so there's a 48
volt
battery underneath the cargo floor
and
the back and what that gives you is
just
a little bit of extra torque with
the
electric motor to get rid of any
kind
of minor turbo lag which I can't
tell
if there's any at all and on top of
that
it's really cool because it allows
you
to easily start the motor very
seamlessly
we're a start or a stop
so
I just had to do that so we do have a
seven-speed
dual-clutch transmission and
of
course it does a great job of sort of
driving
around in automatic mode but you
do
have the paddles if you want to have
a
little bit of extra fun I've got to
say
there's a lot to like with the new
a7
between all the cool tech as well as
just
how well it drives for such a big
sports
ACK not gonna lie
kind
of excited for the new rs7 though
