2019 Audi A7: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Audi A7 is fully redesigned as the first model in its second generation. The headline change is a new turbocharged V6 mild-hybrid powertrain, paired with a new dual-touchscreen cabin.
About the 2019 Audi A7
2nd gen (2019-2025), first year/all-new redesign
Audi positions the A7 as a style-led luxury car that blends the look of a coupe, the comfort of a midsize sedan, and the usefulness of a hatchback. Its main appeal is the combination of sleek Sportback design, standard quattro AWD, strong V6 power, and a very tech-heavy cabin. For most shoppers, the A7 is the more dramatic and more cargo-friendly alternative to a traditional luxury sedan.
The Premium trim returns as the starting point, with leather seats, a panoramic roof, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the new dual-screen dashboard. Premium Plus adds a larger upper touchscreen, a digital instrument cluster, upgraded audio, and a 360-degree camera. Prestige focuses on comfort with ventilated front seats, a head-up display, soft-closing doors, and sound-insulating glass.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A 335-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system replaces the old supercharged V6. Torque rises from 325 to 369 lb-ft, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic replaces the previous eight-speed automatic.
Styling
The second-generation body keeps the five-door Sportback shape but gives it sharper exterior styling.
Safety
The returning Premium trim has forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Premium Plus adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, exit warning, and a 360-degree camera.
Tech
The old knob-controlled interface gives way to two touchscreens with haptic feedback. Premium Plus and Prestige use a larger 10.1-inch upper screen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
Structural
The redesigned body improves rear-seat space and makes the hatchback cargo area more useful.
