This is the Audi A7 an s-line sporty trim tango red color hmm but there's something more special about this one this is the new A7 PF the plug-in hybrid vehicle and we'll tell you all about it here nautical fuel your number one resource for in-depth careers and your number one community to discuss cars right here then this one here an exterior interior and the driving experience as you know full HD full screen and for length let's go.
            Well in the front the a7 looks really sporty maybe even more so from the side profile decide that yourself really soon  sensors are here the big sensor units but the good thing is that you have the  Audi logo then still in 3d nothing you know that would be very important to me s9 with a sporty lower bumper then those  headlamps also horizontal style pretty slim LED matrix LED laser light and  that's the Trop laser light you see here with the blue accentuate ends and this tango red color I mean I always prefer a  strong Thomas blue but here in tango red it looks pretty attractive because it's also a very strong red tone and you  cannot see it from the outside that the this one here is the pdf version will fill you in with all details what makes  this one special a length of an Audi a7 is 4 meters 96 16:43 or 195 inches and  the wheel size vary from 17 to 22 inch with the RS for example recently  presented to you and yeah we had this it is our s7 recently and this really looked amazing as for the wheels 22 inch  and those ones are amazingly 20 inch which would be good compromise visually and also still from the comfort because  when you have a little more tire left that's better for the comfort for the rolling comfort I mean its trainer this car looks I mean  those 20 inch wheels looks more than relatively on this car but still you know I think it's a good compromise  visual and comfort S line better out there and then also get some support  here lower spoilers and I think this guy looks really very well integrated from  the whole design you know this falling roofline where they are the fastback style then very sharp from this coupe a style ending  strong shoulders so this one here the a7 in general is one of my favorites  Howdy's at the moment just from the pure design factor so I really love this car  from the exterior yeah I mean then when you see it again later on the trunk it's also much so flexible if you compare it  to a classic sedan what's you take here especially you with you know their black frame stand i like chrome frames to be  more elegant but in this case here the S line with this shadow pack also brings movement nope sportiness to it in the region very  impressive styling almost like a yard like those expensive boats and the  signature here goes all the way across the vehicle and then those vertical light fins in there so also beautiful  job s line with a black eye situation then in the lower part and that's really  interesting there are no fake exhaust whatsoever so the real ones just underneath I think that's a good  decision yeah why not putting in design element in lower part it does not always have to be fake exhaust well done.                    You guys want to see more of signatures here also for the turning indicators they can see those they are also in those you know cascading style the only thing you can see that this one is the PF c TFSI e as for the batch there and  was also entering specifically to this PA version the ad has at least one  compromised so there's no rear axle steering available for the PA Verne's it's a good option for those large cars  because it feels like there were pretty smaller when driving but again packaging reasons prevented from happening here oh  and of course a favorite feature is always this foldable wing yeah you can  show off to your friends that's probably the most important about it right yeah  of course and you might need more downforce with this fastback style when you're not Autobahn so this 14 kilo an hour battery you can  recharge here with a 7.4 kilowatt AC charger that will put the maximum power  you can put in there they would of course and just calculate take two hours if you have a big wall box or public  challenge station or I mean it's a PF you can also charge this at home let it stand overnight and it's also full too  and the approximate range is somewhat 50 kilometers pure electric that's about 35  miles and it always depends you know how we drive it you know study or really giving it a push and you can pick  between driving pure electric or in a hybrid mode so you can use the Bose whatever you prefer and what's your  driving profile if you may be commuting to work in short way every day that might make sense to drive pure electric then the  week and also with combustion engine or if you're on a longer trip then maybe use the hybrid mode and you know put  down the fuel consumption overall but both is possible so what do we have another hood right here here in this a 7pf they use a 2  liter 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine either the 50 TFSI II was - a 99 horse  power system power output or the dysphonia the 55 TFSI II with 3.67  horsepower in this case also with the Quattro ultra all the way Drive that  means front + rear wheel drive on demand so the re exit can actually be decoupled for more efficiency that's also reason  than why they went for this system so it's not the classic oil drive with a real bias so rather a front wheel bias  definitely different decision for the a8 and dq7 PF the q5 and here the a7 PF  they go for this newer system and we'll find out very soon in the driving review.
                    You guys want to see more of signatures here also for the turning indicators they can see those they are also in those you know cascading style the only thing you can see that this one is the PF c TFSI e as for the batch there and  was also entering specifically to this PA version the ad has at least one  compromised so there's no rear axle steering available for the PA Verne's it's a good option for those large cars  because it feels like there were pretty smaller when driving but again packaging reasons prevented from happening here oh  and of course a favorite feature is always this foldable wing yeah you can  show off to your friends that's probably the most important about it right yeah  of course and you might need more downforce with this fastback style when you're not Autobahn so this 14 kilo an hour battery you can  recharge here with a 7.4 kilowatt AC charger that will put the maximum power  you can put in there they would of course and just calculate take two hours if you have a big wall box or public  challenge station or I mean it's a PF you can also charge this at home let it stand overnight and it's also full too  and the approximate range is somewhat 50 kilometers pure electric that's about 35  miles and it always depends you know how we drive it you know study or really giving it a push and you can pick  between driving pure electric or in a hybrid mode so you can use the Bose whatever you prefer and what's your  driving profile if you may be commuting to work in short way every day that might make sense to drive pure electric then the  week and also with combustion engine or if you're on a longer trip then maybe use the hybrid mode and you know put  down the fuel consumption overall but both is possible so what do we have another hood right here here in this a 7pf they use a 2  liter 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine either the 50 TFSI II was - a 99 horse  power system power output or the dysphonia the 55 TFSI II with 3.67  horsepower in this case also with the Quattro ultra all the way Drive that  means front + rear wheel drive on demand so the re exit can actually be decoupled for more efficiency that's also reason  than why they went for this system so it's not the classic oil drive with a real bias so rather a front wheel bias  definitely different decision for the a8 and dq7 PF the q5 and here the a7 PF  they go for this newer system and we'll find out very soon in the driving review.
             This one will still be eager to drive or not  this is cocky slim and light nothing new  then this one here of course yeah frameless emotional and it's also good  for getting in and out of the car definitely yes no dual insulation layer from the glass and it has indecent door  closing sound although it's a copy of course those ones I always better when  they have frames but this one also has the option of a soft clothes magic well  and then rest of the interior the door pockets are rather slim but everything  has a great build quality also here like the buttons for the um memory seating  always a nice clicking sound and everything galvanized and so on so this is really very well done the s-line also  for the interior sleep and repair and also with the sport here s-line  steering wheel for example we have there too and seats at least in europe they  start off with fabric based base seats then this one here's the spot seat this is also then available i cant are on the  inside we would recommend an option that would be the the s sports it available with the integrated head restraint but  either would protect this one with the icon tower or a base seat to have a little bit more comfort  I already still use a lot of animal skin materials in their big cars but it will change over the next year's then let's  get inside and when I put the CT to the lowest position ya played a little bit  with the memory seat but then there were other stuff set so when I put it all the way lower the a7 does have a very flat a  pillar yes but still it works with one weighs 86 or 6 with one especially if there's no panoramic roof which is  available also for this car optionally steering wheel can be set manual here. 
                   You have to pay extra for it if you want to have an electric yes they almost make everything optional so it goes really  high in the pricing but seating position is still cool and comfortable especially if you don't have the super sports seats  we recently had the rs7 and I was sitting in there like like why you know  why we're using the comfort of the car just for like those visual purposes those spaceport seats will also do just  fine and they give you more long-term comfort as well if you want more comfort they also um you know even more  comfortable seats available than those ones but they already do it quite well also for tall people you will find a  good seating position right there and indeed you fear always a little bit more emotional than in the a6 when you sit in  the a7 they are not too different those two cards but this flatter a pillar makes it a little bit sportier and when  you sit on the inside you only know yeah I got this really beautiful card in the exterior somewhere you know it and then  it also influences your opinion when you sit on the inside now the interior overview everything is wrapped tightly  reminds little bit of Porsche then horizontal stress right there and this huge console here and you could  might think having breakfast on that one but you know there's one rule also with me no food in the car ever yeah sorry  about that then Quattro logo will be illuminated at night and a lot of black piano use is there and the oval screen setup is that  in the middle part you in some market start with a smaller 8 inch screen then this one is a 10.1 inch screen for some  trims and market standard and the lower ones 8.6 inch and they form so to say one unit all done be a touch and on the  left side here steering wheel with a volume control there's a voice button so showing us some functions of that on the left side then usually with the left thumb and you control the virtual  instruments and they are pretty cool one of the bests on the market clear to read a lot of functions and here you can see  the electric range and the fuel range at the moment and you have 50 kilometer prediction it's actually quite nice and  then the view right there you can switch it around and also have the map view. 
                    Right here all over the place I also preferred when it's not satellite view actually because this one is just  clearer to read and then I can also just let go of the fancy satellite view I just want to know that it's clear to  read that I can navigate a little bit so and then you know of course while driving we'll also check out how this  one plays out for the range and for consumption and so on on the Eevee side some deals here on the screen you can  see yeah I connected with wireless cafe at the moment alternatively cable with Android auto and well the sound system  here the Bang Bang & Olufsen sound system is pretty decent great surround sound nice really nice and try out that  song definitely then recently updated also the car player iOS there they can  see how it looks like it's very well integrated almost uses all of the screen that would be the epic apply map by I've  deactivated it at the moment then you can go back to the Audi MMI right they are also the menu structure is pretty  clear I like that so it's so important because you don't have like a central control knob yet therefore it's so  important that everything is really easy to understand and XS here then back again to the Capcom every new car that  would be for example drives like this interesting with the adaptive suspension in here not the a suspension today but  it adapts and depending on the driving mode still and the GPS the main one here  again I would prefer the non satellite view usually with Audi's we offer also have the satellite view could be a  little bit more responsive definitely but it shows the way very well and you know also how you can you know browse inside the map right there and then  everything is pretty much self-explanatory right there and in the lower part by the way you have done the  AC unit mainly with controlling the went strength you can also slide or click  Bose as possible I deactivate the haptic feedback that they don't have to press in but just click slightly like with a  smartphone I always do it in all LD cars the first thing ID act evade seat heating is available here optional also  then this steering wheel heating that's a fancy option for the wintertime and there's also this Evy  button mode then in the top part again you get a feedback if you are in the hybrid mode or if you are in the pure  Evy mode you can switch it around depending on what you like better or also battery hold that you hold the better. 
               Reset us if you need the Eevee driving for later this is not efficient it's more efficient of course to drive pure  electric and then recharge or use the hybrid mode to assist the petrol engine  you know with recuperation it's been done and so on and so on so and for some strange reason for the voice input to  work I had to switch the language to German now that it works with the German city I'm not sure why is that father  McNab alene so as I drive me to Berlin let's see there we go so now it's just  early in the end I can say line number one though I just press it then and then the GPS is also starting so that would  be one example for the voice input usage you can also set the temperature for example that would be another  alternative other than that you can also use the lower pet for the input and then  you have at the keyboard or you can write stuff right there like brother in like this and that was an awesome  handwriting wasn't it yeah okay it was not so that also works so you can also  play around with it it's actually pretty helpful input but more of course when standing still on the other hand I'm  really happy that I don't have to select again like with with b200 II are so  voice input of writing like this is pretty helpful so and now let's move on  further right down shifting lever here then nice aluminum cover met also you  can hear how it feels that if couples they are not too big though if you want  some bigger balls or holders in there and then for putting your smartphone with the inductive charging there is  this really we're fixed arm rest inductive charging headfirst smartphone and to use be a device's not to the  head-up display this is a very interesting option and I will head up this with why pass today him because of the rain that looks fancy then you have  c-dac this off-road sent at the moment so wait will I have some more detail DPS input when the route is running as  current speed allows speed will also be shown when there's traffic signs recognized and also AM assistance  systems info what about the rear well no compromise on the rear bench as for the height or something also for the PA  version the a7 does not have the best package as for exterior length dimensions and the  interior space you have but you can still get along also frameless of course and it works  like room wise to the seat li would be driving guys long enough of course and Headroom wise yeah that still also works. 
               I can put a hand over my head with one with a six or six with one so it's still you know decent in the comfort although  of course I mean in SUV you have more space available than everything is more upright but at some point you know the  sporty form yeah okay on the a6 Avant for example it makes it a little bit better and this rear bench is also  falling backwards just a little bit but overall the comfort is fine I think ISOFIX at the outer of the seats you  have this foldable rest with some cup holders which are also adaptive you can  use this one as a ski hatch and you can also flip the whole bench away from here  like there you know three parts paternoville huge middle tunnel so sit  in the middle part is not comfortable also you sit too high you hit your head on the ceiling so this is more for not  just you know temporary use and on that use the outside parts eat and there are two USB supplies in the rear next to a  12-4 power supply and if you want also a separate AC unit short look at the trunk right here there we go and well this  another compromise but you can live with it because there's no additional cover you can lift there because the battery  is placed below here but again everything else is very well usable because also at the width and for the  length right there this one here has a recently learned is a Sun Visor you know  against the Sun I was thinking now like putting some stuff in here but maybe that's possible liking of all I was  joking like with toilet paper rolls what people used in the 70s or something this  against the Sun then indeed you can also remove this whole cover if you like but you can see you have a nice compromise  here actually between having a sporty car in the exterior but still have this fastback opening to be a little bit more  flexible and then if you can load this one through you know what really goes almost up to 2 meters in length  and that's also pretty flexible although then especially if the PFA is somewhat a small step but you can also live with  that  welcome to Thomas's driving lounge with the Audi a7 PF yeah they 55 TFSI it's  funny because we're in Germany when we say e it's like Oh disgusting e you know the letter e sounds like like you know  the expression for disgusting in Germany so tears I deactivate the GPS  announcement see how I get along with the system meanwhile so I can find anything I want to have pretty easily  still I have to touch things while driving that's always you know something so the suggested range for fuel tank for  battery is 5 from 10 kilometers on fuel and about 50 kilometers on it electric  that is you know about 320 miles on fuel and about yeah about 30 miles on the  electric and I think you can definitely live with that and so cool to drive an a7 all silent all-electric and I really  like the light but yet progressive and agile steering they have a here standard in the a7 this is really cool I mean it  feels light but at the same time it feels sporty and direct and there's no dead zone so every little Kemal is being  transported to the road at the same time I looked through the head-up display here and that is really cool I have a  even though I can visualization of the next intersection so that really helps  me and locally we are emission free we know they are still a mission especially in protection of batteries that's clear. 
           So you have to use that car over a while to even that out but especially Nyssa t  makes sense and have so more clear elements so to say and I can also  compare this one to the q7p half I've just been driving here on the same day this one will also be very interesting  and the a7 in general it is a long car it's a big car but it feels very light  and agile and the cool thing about those electric or part electric drivetrains is  although they add about small 300 kilograms of extra weight they make the  car feel lighter that's something you know like what else eat out talking  about yeah I mean if you think about like braking or something our handling  would say yeah the additional weight but then again sometimes weight is also not  bad as for like for example weight balance of the car at some time at some point and also when the weight is put in  very low of the vehicle it's not an all-electric platform so you cannot use all that advantage but the thing that  makes this car more appeal light is that you can accelerate silently that you have this tranquility here especially when they stop and go and traffic light and so on so that's pretty cool and it just makes you feel relaxed and now there's some definitely something pretty cool to me and here indeed that was  different in the q7 for example I can use this car here the acceleration from  you know all electric drivetrain is ok also halves not only for rolling and  coasting and so on even if I want to accelerate just a little bit that's actually fine you know so I'm cool with  that so this is enough indeed to have an electric acceleration even you're on  to the motorway however if I want like the you know the pure acceleration the  real one then we would need something else you know I can always see now the  combustion engine is being activated and you do notice that somehow yes but it's  very well insulated from the cabin really silent so half note to know this notice it and the transitions are also  very well done between those driving modes if I mean every mode I can try to  induce it even more in the hybrid mode then the car is more deciding when it's all but also both modes are you know not too  different because at some point when I accelerate too hard it will jump on with the combustion engine and at some point  you know when you're just rolling or Coast and the electric drivetrain will be active so yeah as always question  what big difference it does make they are also here the Audi say we don't use to shifting pedals for recuperation  change they rather want to set it on on rolling and coasting when there's just  free run and using this predictive assistant from the ACC to reduce the  speed and then also recuperate when this assistance is oh there's an intersection coming that's a roundabout  coming you gotta use an exit there's something coming where you need to reduce speed and then also recuperation  is being used and of course also when you hit the brakes then also first the recuperation is being used regenerative  braking so energy back to the battery and then the extra car brakes are being applied if I want some you know serious  braking power and I think you can understand that concept in the PDF maybe you don't need this one pedal driving  feeling so this just feels like a normal a seven to drive and I've been driving  the a seven different versions here also with the 3-liter TFSI six in the petrol  which was a lot of fun also recent in the s7 with the 3 litre diesel  also the six alumina well now in a minute no it was the a6 Avant I drove of  the 2-liter four-cylinder engine but also no platform in size wise comparable  cars definitely there was actually also ok power wise but how the 316 is of  course a lot of fun in this car here especially in me in the petrol version here from the a7  but you have some significant boost together when you combine electric drive  and the combustion engine I will also test that out very soon first of all  when we are on the motorway what power do we get when we already rolling and then later on also again  from the standstill so keep stay tuned to that because that's even more interesting and I can tell you because  this electric power boost is very efficient especially from the get-go  we're at the combustion and maybe like meets a half a second to to really set in the combustion engine then of course  the better year on for example motorways Israel that's really never with a tractor for example at the moment our  console's see it in this green visualization in the virtual instruments just on the electric drive because I'm  rather rolling and coasting so they don't need more power from the Apollo combustion engine and that's something  else that would work even if you have not recharged the car properly or maybe  it's already pleaded from the battery and then you use a different button and it may be but then you may be breaking a  little bit getting back some energy then the energy is used just for the rolling even though there's not much power  needed and so on and so on so we had that an experience when we were driving the Porsche Panamera plug-in hybrid for  example a longer time but it was making sense definitely even though the battery  was depleted however if you're driving with depleted battery all the time and  not recharge it then probably you don't need a PF so here again really silent on  the motorway great motorway vehicle we can also not sure why they for this test  vehicle fleet here it changed all the assistance systems to off no idea why  well what's that again yeah that's not something where I were you know it's like I'm trying to find something  vehicle and then their system I'm rather  you know now maximum assistance because then I could see like this the blind spot monitor very nicely integrated and  as soon as this Audi q5 in the previous generation especially those one has a  very beautiful daytime running lights and eyes maybe you could see it on this camera in Holloman its passing he also  the blind spot monitor as well you know previous ten to five why not so and what  I want to show you right now is we go to the dynamic mode because in a dynamic mode yeah this driver like doing it  while driving is someone not that good and now dynamic mode both combustion  engine and electric power gets you know the biggest boost together and we are  starting always safely maybe after this t6 from eighty kilometres an hour and  let's go. 
               That's one of 30 chrome is now already so a great boost and yeah I mean  performance wise you're not saying again this is a boring 2-liter four-cylinder because we have this electric boost you  still have enough power and the you know the first second you accelerate then you  have feel the you know there's this extra electric boost and then the combustion and then really set in so  this is very interesting and this car really remains very stable also higher speeds and we're now at 150 kilometers  now and I hardly have to raise my voice against any wind noise or something it's super relaxed super well-balanced so the  driving performance of this car in agility and how calm it is is just  amazing so I really love that with the 87 and yeah summer I mean the a sevens always  put a little bit lower than a six for example both sit down in the front and  maybe it's just some losses you know but the a7 somehow always feels a little bit  spoiled yeah maybe it's just a little bit that the designs also tricking you but I always feel it's a little bit  smaller maybe on the subjective level or somehow it is maybe it's a little bit  lower suspension I can really finely tune feel or something steering setup  here and and so on but it's always a lot of fun and it's need one of the big cars  I have most fun with because sometimes you have only small vehicles which are a  lot of fun because they're lower in weight this for me especially after PF pretty heavy vehicle but still this  extra weight from the battery is not something I perceive as negative because you have this additional electric drive  think and have a lot of fun with that but still you can drive it in a very dynamic way especially when you combine  both power trains and great handling once again assistant systems once more  the adaptive cruise control is keeping the speed and distance them to the car in front of you and this one was the  predictive assistant by the way also works when the ACC is not set experience  that for example when I was heading towards a village and then the car was producing the speed although I didn't  have the ACC turn on and then also use the Korea operation and that's also their strategy here for the PF  especially to combine this predictive assistant for the speed with the recover  Asian and then not offering recuperation changes we are the shifting leavers that's in need for the gears for the  combustion and them still that again put the yeast out there and have like a  spontaneous acceleration cinemas Jonas next me like wow yeah way to go so  pretty nice experience for the acceleration power and maybe I'll find a spot where I can you know hold the car. 
                       In a safe way and then accelerate out in this dynamic mode again and you  probably amazed oh how fast this guy is going although it's just it's 2 litre force on anything there so this P 1/2 of  course when you have the right infrastructure for that when you have the user case for that maybe commuting  to the weekend longer ways on the weekend but it can also be a performance also as if maybe then in combination  with text or like those subsidiary's benefits or maybe it was just like prone  to technology because it's always something more interesting here and being even more silent in between that's  pretty cool here at anemic mode doesn't make much sense at the moment I don't go back to the auto mode then you mute the  car or switches to the electric one and we're just rolling even more silent no  local emissions yeah and then we when you get to next like traffic light situations you can just roll again  traffic like red again green again and so on and you're not admitting anything all the time so that's not a varnish  definitely for that and yeah I mean range wise the the figures that are  given here are usually also pretty realistic it's always nicer by the way also to put in the GPS in the full view  here so we couldn't play around with that and have it good you know maybe heck have it more zoomed in right here  with your left thumb and maybe more zoomed out here for wider perspective in the middle that's always something  you can do very well too so obviously they are proud to say that you  know let the car do what its what well white wants to do and that might be  probably right what the guy wants to do so it's definitely in no interesting  approach so all the general positives about the a7 great steering and are  driving handling and so on a lot of hard to drive very elaborate comfortable really silent do I miss the or will or  they react cell steering yeah maybe a little bit because especially like when you have a like turning circle that is  being reduced by a meter with the rear axle steering not available he and the  PF due to packaging reasons what the yeah yeah but we can say the brakes are  also being applied very well so it was a good test for that and you maybe also at  the acoustic warning so if I would have missed it at some point or so then the  car at least would have told me and there's also this are autonomous emergency brake who just standard with  this car that would have been applied also you know and just in the  emergency case over us all straight and not sure what was happening there  sometimes spring things happen on the roads maybe a car reviewer was testing  the brakes I don't know we didn't we did but we broke later than they did so  getting off here and again having a lot of fun driving the car around and especially in the electric drive mode of  course you ask yourself why isn't there an all-electric a seven years yeah  that's a tough question because that could maybe you know we like Tesla Model S but then how do you  like with their build quality and so on hmm that would be nice. 
                                 I always say there when you have you infrastructure fixed for charging most  of the time the all-electric vehicles then already make more sense than the P halves the P has really makes sense when  you're not sure yet one percent of all T electric mobility and when you don't  have the best charging infrastructure or maybe you know just sometimes have it  wherever you are situated or maybe someone use a public charge charging  station or something so this could be you know a transition that's  for that yeah now it's um seems to be like saying I'm gonna do this excavation  so right here we go into the dynamic modes and we have everything activated  and also I want to accelerate out of the corner so we do two things now  acceleration tests and what about this overdrive wet road and accelerating out of the collar let's go  that was 85 seriously Wow and if you  like it is electric boost that was amazing this is a performance car guys  it's a performance car really to leader falsely an engine in a a7 it's a  performance car no doubt about that and that felt very agile and there was nose  you know under steering no spin on the front axle remember this one the Quattro ultra with the normal cars you know we  tend to say like you know the normal Quattro Drive with 40 60 we will bias then is somehow bad about  this when he feels really light and agile and there is a maximum 50 percent  talk transposed to the rear wheels but that one pretty quickly and we had the electric drive and wet road but still no  traction loss whatsoever great acceleration and out of the corner I  mean I did not have any idea like a torque steer push from the rear excellent that's not gonna happen here  but there was no negative effect a very neutral and balanced acceleration out. 
                  There that's pretty cool what do you say Jonas Jonas always like you know very  calm and collected I'm always like talking all the time yeah that's my job okay no but yeah maybe as a cameraman he  also needs to be more calm and collected well there wasn't I was six right  previous generation sitting there nice blue color not sure if it could be grab a hold on that camera here so of course  when you're testing so many cars you always look out for special cars on the road and oh I drove that one five years  ago or all this is a really nice car that wants a great history you know and it's always fun of course to discuss it  and with current coolest like you I as well so great performance on this a 7pf  and having so much fun in here and then we can get back here to the city and yeah with speaking the driving modes not  too happy about that you know some you know like Porsche and whereas it we see  that besides Porsche like with the driving mode selector here not on the steering wheel  yeah Macy is introduced it as well thank you jealous don'ts becoming a chi expert  as well just by I mean he's watching all our reviews like life wait a minute  Jones is the first person to ever watch out of a fool that's next cluesive Reader spot right  Jonas always in the front row so going  back to the auto mode because you and being like in a city surrounding a rather on a shut down the emissions and  also wanted to have it a little bit more silent for people from the outside yeah  of course about 30 or 40 kilometers an hour the tire noise I love that anyway  still it will make a difference if you go drive in our s7 through the village here or the a7 PF you know and this  effect that the electric vehicles or peers are more silent it's different  from the inside because in the inside I hate the half the experience at the bar like seventy eighty kilometres an hour  you still feel more silent than with the combustion engines because you know. 
                       The rolling noises from the tires are being blocked by the good insulation and so on and the a7 Fields definitely agile  so I don't miss the rear axle steering that much as a date now in the q7 which  did not have it still its Lanka and reducing the turning circle would be a  very cool effect and it feels more agile with the re-access steering yes but  since the a7 is already pretty agile anyway infield sporty it's something you  can also live without yeah it's like how can anyone see if the car is coming you  know like strange construction said so we can live without definitely if you  are narrow surroundings and so on your problem in you know basement garage then  the rear axle steering definitely helps but this a7 is silk yeah it's really so  much fun yeah when you push it a little bit too far and the combustion and then gets being activated let's switch to  that mode again where I can see that there it is but a little bit more punch  possible than with the q7p have definitely maybe I don't know this different concept here with the Quattro  ultra or something and they told me the react cell is not always running with it  even though if just the front is being used they can really be decoupled and that could be more efficient you know  what now this visualization does not show it I think because at the moment right now  we're just rolling this should actually be just front for drive it's all electric but it shows that it would be  all forward I'm not sure if the visualization also keeps track of the you know front way with overdrive I  think not by definitely here for the rolling and coasting again the pure electric drive is totally sufficient and  the pure or energy consumption here I mean we're like big acceleration then we  also calm driving and here it says five phases or more kilometers and about 20 kilowatt hours on 1r kilometers and this  kilowatt figure consumption is somewhat realistic definitely we can also reset it and see what would be the minimum. 
                   When you set cruise control in our 70 kilometers now now by the way after  cruise control set in at the moment and it's reducing the speeds just a little bit because the next village is coming  which is like 50 kilometers now speed limit now also the traffic sign recognition is being active speed is  being reduced to 50 kilometers flawless that's a great assistance system really  nice maybe it's sometimes you wouldn't maybe miss it also and you're being reminded of that also good against  speeding tickets because there's a lot of fun to drive with the car you also like to drive a little bit faster sometimes  yeah sorry about that so is assistant systems can you actually  you know keep you a little bit safer than from those speeding tickets  the real fuel consumption for a PF is always really hard to calculate I was  saying that in those reviews and especially the combustion and in fuel consumption mmm because then you would  need to deplete the battery completely sometimes we happen on the driving events because the cars actually you  know depleted from the battery then you can't in not gey not test the battery drive as well particle whether it has  the pure consumption from the combustion engine hmm yeah it's always tricky to do it when  you have to just limited time with a car you can better do it when you have to like you know for a full week or two so  if you're interested in certain PF review would you say like you know I  want I can long-term like one or two weeks it's no experience with that and  just ask us you can always feel free to ask in the comments for next reviews which removes I'm missing which one do  you want to see our s7 maybe didn't write that one yet do you want to see that and put it in the comments or maybe  then you know more of the electric vehicles or the PDFs which are more more coming and evolving and they're making  more and more progress and I think that's really good because we also want to show you some alternative drive  trains we don't only try to give you more insight on alternative interior  materials which I'm also staying with of course on drive trains which are more sustainable which is of course highly  debated and you can argue pro and con as for also energy use in production and so  on but I say you know there's no black and white answer for the electric cars  or the PF yet it's more about the use case you know there are some use case. 
                      Where the electric vegans do not make sense at the moment and others where they're perfectly makes sense you know  depends on you on your driving profile indeed and again the more I drive electric with the a7 the more I wish we  had an all-electric a7 I could just recharge and that's it it would  perfectly fit also to that vehicle you know that that's there will be of course at some point be something like that but I hope said  howdy but I would drive this car all-electric all the time you know I  don't see any reason you know this behaves so perfectly I don't see any reason why we need a combustion engine  in this car anymore mmm if you know the range could be  realized but so far this is as good as it gets for an a7 it is cool  would I recommend it here in governs do the other Drive friends I think yes it's  more interesting to use if you can recharge from time to time that's pretty cool you can even save money not only  with some you know benefits or subsidies if you have something like that but also  fuel consumption wise I like using a pure electric or if you then well this  is charging station here for example in the city yeah Joe gonna throw want some stuff here no problem we are live on the stage  here right no we are good yeah so  definitely very interesting inside here once again and those PF reviews are also for us know a little bit more  interesting always than just a pure investment so great performance great from the POV as well then calmness and  then ride even more than with this electric drivetrain or semi electric  drivetrain now the water bottle is right  yeah good that you don't hear anything that happens on camera so I think faraz I  will now search for some outside shooting spots for this car and oh yeah last thing to mention because now they  wrote is a little bit heavy ass here we have the adaptive suspension here so  there is difference between dynamic and comfort mode as for the stiffness and so on but stay with such a great job sporty  and comfortable at the same time indeed it is that well done there's additive suspension I think and say you  do not need an air suspension in this car to make it more comfortable it's perfect just as it is a suspension wise  and here rear view camera by the way with a fake drama from laughs great resolution also with the helping lines  this also helps you pretty much with the car and now I kept the electric consumption you know very low and this  is an 20 kilowatt hours per what kilometers where you can scan score minimum I think yeah and then of course  as I said it zero fuel so far why not  and in the rain we say goodbye here for today  with our conclusion of the Audi A7 s the P half version always looks great. 
                         When those raindrops are on the car especially if it's such a beautiful one like this and this rear three-quarter  perspective was also one of my favourite ones of the a7 in general definitely a beautiful car from the exterior of  course today homes are special in tango red yeah the tango and the interior  Hayek built quality still too much animal skin use you can avoid some of that told you earlier that but still  they need to change something there and in the silica we can combine sportiness and you know this agile Drive with some  interior space especially with this fastback opening the agile driving is  all in general very good for the a7 the adaptive suspension superb you don't  need anything more actually both comfort and sportiness such a fun ride and the special year with the PF we have some  nice electric boost even if your Drive pure electric is actually enough and most of the stuff you can drive pure  electric in your everyday driving life that's also where the PF can make sense especially if you can recharge and you  maybe have like a short commuting way to work or something like that at the same time this is also some kind of a  performance version especially in the higher horsepower trim because together in combustion engine and the electric  drivetrain combined I mean was giving us a serious boost so that was a lot of fun as well and although there is not the  classic Quattro Drive with the rebel bias which is somehow cool of course for  the a7 but still you know together with this electric boost and the good traction control there was no under  steering no traction loss although we have really wet conditions here today which you obviously can see really great  accelerating out of the corner that was positively surprising here for me today electrical consumption  you know something 20 kilowatt hours one kilometers or plus that is also normal. 
           For those big cars and in this region so even had a little bit more with the  outer each one for example and the real fuel consumption it really depends on how much you use this  electric drivetrain or not and if you want to know more about the pure combustion engines of the a7 we have  several reviews who will link them in the Blog also in the pinned comment so tune in to those see you  there and thanks for tuning in today please discuss this guy in the comments.  #AUDIA7 #GERMANTECHNOLOGIES #ELECTRICPHEVSEDAN
