2022 Audi A7: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2022 Audi A7 is a light-update year rather than a redesign. The main change is a stronger set of standard technology and safety features for the base 55 TFSI Premium trim.
About the 2022 Audi A7
2nd generation A7 (C8, 2019-2023 before the 2024 refresh), fourth model year.
Audi positions the A7 as the design-led alternative to a traditional luxury sedan: sleeker than the A6, but more useful than a coupe thanks to its wide rear hatch. In U.S. form, it blends standard quattro all-wheel drive, strong turbo power, a tech-heavy cabin, and long-distance comfort with the extra cargo flexibility of the Sportback body. The plug-in-hybrid versions add short electric commuting ability without changing the A7’s core role as a stylish, upscale everyday car.
The 2022 A7 lineup ranges from the well-equipped V6 Premium to the more luxurious Prestige, while Premium Plus emphasizes everyday driver-assistance technology. Plug-in-hybrid Premium Plus e and Prestige e models pair short-distance electric driving with AWD, and standout upper-trim features include a head-up display, soft-close doors, and heated rear seats.
