2012 Audi A7 Hatchback

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Defined as a Sportback, the 2012 Audi A7 radical five-door body style radiates a strong performance image thanks to pronounced wheel arches and standard 18-inch wheels. Exclusively equipped with Audi�s quattro all-wheel drive, the A7 Sportback delivers sports car-like handling supported by the safety of an electronic stability program. For the introductory year of the Audi A7, the car has been matched with a supercharged, direct-injection 3-liter V-6 powerplant. Generating 310 horsepower and 325 pounds-feet of torque, the 2012 Audi A7 sprints from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 5.4 seconds. Thanks to the powerful but efficient engine and an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic, the 2012 A7 Sportback achieves 22 miles per gallon in average fuel economy. Sold in Premium, Premium Plus as well as Prestige trim levels, the 2012 Audi A7 standard features include cruise control, automatic Xenon headlamps, three-zone climate control and a glass sunroof over the four-seat interior. Premium Plus and Prestige adds available 7-inch color Driver Information System, HD radio and S-Line exterior pieces.

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Audi A7 Hatchback

From a design standpoint, the new Audi A7 is a standout in the market; while vehicles like the Acura ZDX and BMW 5-Series GranTurismo come close, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS is a little more compromised, the A7 has no hint of utility vehicle, and it isn't really any taller than a sedan. Inside the A7 is a paragon of great design, as its cabin feels lush and detailed without being functionally complex. Even so, the A7 is very roomy, with enough space for adults in back.

What's new for 2012?

The A7 is an entirely new model in Audi's lineup, with a coupe-like roofline and an unusual 4-door fastback body style that marries some of the traits of a crossover with those of a station wagon--providing a more distinctive alternative to mid-size luxury sport sedans.

Model Strengths

  • A shape like no other
  • stunning interior trims and materials
  • hatchback versatility
  • responsive handling
  • comfortable ride
  • good backseat space
  • class-leading tech features
  • advanced navigation system

Model Review

For 2012, the Audi A7 is only offered in 3.0 quattro form, which includes a 310-horsepower, 3.0L direct-injection supercharged V6. With a belt-driven supercharger, it sounds like a well-mannered luxury car most of the time, yet it also produces a V8-like 325 pound-feet of torque.

Original Warranty  help
Original Warranty
An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment.
The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including:
Basic Warranty:
Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters.
Drivetrain Warranty:
This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be.
Roadside Assistance:
The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car.
Corrosion Warranty:
This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal.
Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.

Audi Certified Pre-Owned Warranty  help
Certified Pre-Owned Warranty
To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points.
Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer.
Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include:
Age/Mileage Eligibility
To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers.
Lease Term Certified
Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less.
Point Inspection
These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details.
Return/Exchange Program
Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car.
Roadside Assistance
Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty.
Special Financing
Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers.
Transferable Warranty
When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect.
Warranty Deductible
This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
The Audi Certified pre-owned Limited Warranty is extremely comprehensive and covers up to six years from new vehicle in-service date or 100,000 total vehicle miles, whichever occurs first.*
