Audi A7 — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home / Audi / List of Audi A7 Models without Timing Belt

The Audi A7 is a luxury car (E-segment in Europe) manufactured by the German automaker Audi within the Volkswagen Group. It is based on the same platform as the Audi A6. It is sold exclusively with “Sportback” bodywork. In Audi, this body is applied to Liftback vehicles with sporty finish with 5 doors. The first Audi A7 was launched in 2010 and has had two generations to date.

The first-generation Audi A7 is nothing more than an Audi A6 with fastback bodywork. It was produced on the VAG Group’s MLB platform. Its model identifiers are exactly the same as those used on the A6, starting with the C7. Both cars share the same main structure, powertrain, chassis, dashboard and interior. The big difference is in the bodywork. The A7 went on sale with FSI and TFSI gasoline and TDI V6 engines. The S7 and RS7 performance models equipped a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 TFSI engine. In 2015, the model was redesigned with an update of the powertrains, technological improvements and some exterior changes.

The second generation went on sale in 2019. This model has PHEV hybrid versions. However, Audi put all its effort into its performance versions, as is the case with the RS7 version. For the Chinese public, the German brand launched in 2021 the Audi A7L, a longer version of this sports car that was manufactured together with SAIC.
