Start with what the Audi A7 is: a 5-door liftback with 1.8 , built from 2010 to 2021, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Stefan Sielaff (2006).
The story
The Audi A7 is an executive five-door liftback produced by Audi since 2010. The coupé variant of the Audi A6 saloon/estate, the Audi A7 features a sloping roofline with a steeply raked rear window and integrated boot lid (forming the Sportback), and four frameless doors.
A sport version called the S7 has been made since 2012, and a high-performance model called the RS 7 has been in production since 2013. An extended-wheelbase three-box, four-door saloon derivative called the A7L has been produced in China since 2021.

Its place in the line
In the Audi line-up the Audi A7 has a clear place: it replaced the Audi 100 Coupé S (spiritual); the factory was Neckarsulm, Germany. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Lexus LFA, the Nissan Leaf. Nearby in the Audi catalogue sit the Audi 200 and the Audi 225.
Owning one today
Buying one now means $14,600–$65,000 for a typical example, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,405–$6,760 a year. Insurance sits around $1,540–$3,420 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
