Audi A7 Premium, Premium Plus, Prestige & More

Last updated August 4, 2026

Audi A7

The Audi A7 lineup starts with Premium, Premium Quattro, and 55 TFSI Premium models, which deliver the core formula: a sleek five-door hatchback body, V6 power, quattro all-wheel drive, and an upscale cabin. Premium Plus and TDI Premium Plus versions add the lighting, camera, audio, and comfort upgrades that matter most in daily use, while Prestige and TDI Prestige models emphasize richer materials, better seats, a head-up display, and more convenience technology. Competition Prestige is the driver-focused branch, with more power and dedicated sport hardware. The 55 TFSI Premium Plus e Quattro and 55 TFSI Prestige e Quattro form the plug-in-hybrid branch, pairing short electric-driving ability with the A7’s luxury cabin and useful hatchback shape.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 55 TFSI Premium trim?

On second-generation cars, 55 TFSI Premium is the entry regular A7. It still has the full 335-hp turbo V6, all-wheel drive, dual touchscreens, heated leather front seats, a panoramic roof, and core safety features.

What does Premium Plus add over Premium?

On newer A7s, Premium Plus adds the upgrades many drivers notice daily: better headlights, a surround-view camera, Bang & Olufsen audio, and more driver assistance. Later examples also bring four-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and quieter side glass.

What does Prestige add over Premium Plus?

In recent years, Prestige adds luxury rather than more engine power. Its defining upgrades include contour front seats with massage, richer leather, a head-up display, remote parking assistance, soft-closing doors, and intersection assistance.

Do Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige have the same power?

Yes, on the regular second-generation A7. All three 55 TFSI trims use the same 335-hp turbocharged V6 with mild-hybrid assist, a seven-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive. Moving up mainly buys comfort, lighting, audio, camera, and assistance features.

Which Audi A7 trim is the everyday sweet spot?

Premium Plus is the strongest fit for shoppers who want useful upgrades without focusing on every luxury extra. On newer cars it combines the standard V6 and all-wheel drive with upgraded lighting, surround-view cameras, premium audio, and broader comfort equipment.

Which A7 trim should I look for if I want massaging seats?

Look for a newer 55 TFSI Prestige. It is the regular A7 trim associated with individual contour front seats and a massage function, along with richer leather and added cabin trim. Equipment can differ on older Prestige examples.

Which A7 trim is better for rear-seat comfort?

On later second-generation cars, Premium Plus is a sensible starting point because it includes four-zone climate control and heated rear seats. Prestige layers on a richer, quieter cabin, but it does not change the A7’s basic rear-seat space.

What is an Audi A7 Premium Quattro?

Premium Quattro is the entry trim found on early first-generation A7s. It uses a 310-hp supercharged V6, an eight-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive. It has heated leather seats and a power liftback but less navigation, camera, and luxury equipment than higher trims.

How is the TDI Premium Plus different from the gas Premium Plus?

The TDI Premium Plus uses a 240-hp diesel V6 with 428 lb-ft of torque instead of the gas model’s supercharged V6. It emphasizes relaxed highway pull and fewer fuel stops while retaining the well-equipped Premium Plus cabin and all-wheel drive.

What does TDI Prestige add over TDI Premium Plus?

TDI Prestige keeps the same torque-rich diesel V6 and adds the more luxurious cabin setup. Key upgrades include Bose surround sound, a head-up display, ventilated 12-way front seats, ambient lighting, and the richer equipment associated with the top regular trim.

How is the Premium Plus e different from the gas Premium Plus?

The 2021–2022 Premium Plus e is a plug-in hybrid built for some battery-powered daily driving. It uses a turbo four-cylinder, an electric motor, and all-wheel drive instead of the gas trim’s V6, while keeping the A7’s liftback body and an upscale equipment level.

What does Prestige e add over Premium Plus e?

Prestige e keeps the same plug-in-hybrid powertrain but adds top-level comfort features. Its main upgrades include a head-up display, soft-closing doors, quieter dual-pane side glass, and heated rear seats.

What is the A7 Competition Prestige?

Competition Prestige is a one-year, 2017 performance-focused A7 trim. It combines a 340-hp supercharged V6 with sport suspension tuning, a sport rear differential, diamond-stitched sport seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a four-seat layout.
