Car A

Audi A7 45 TFSI

AWD traction, quick 0–100 km/h in 5.3 s, and a 535 L trunk make the Audi A7 45 TFSI a capable premium choice for long-distance driving with five aboard. Efficiency is solid for its class at 7.4 L/100 km, though its price and focus mean city-centric users may prefer something smaller or thriftier.
