The Audi A7 0.30 coefficient of drag aids fuel economy and reduces wind noise. Microfiber
fleeces, acoustically wheel housing liners and underbody panels partner with a special
film on the windshield and complex sealing on the doors and frameless windows to provide a
serene environment for occupants.
Safety
The A7 reaffirms Audi’s commitment to safety for both passengers and pedestrians. In a frontal
collision, the front cross member directs forces to the two longitudinal members, which undergo
a controlled deformation to dissipate energy. A strong floor and tunnel structure for the occupant
shell absorbs the impact forces. Meanwhile, the passenger cell – made up of hot-shaped steel
components – provides exceptional protection.
The adaptive restraint system is networked with the Audi pre sense safety system, intelligently
managing the airbags and belt force limiters based on the height of the driver and front-seat
passenger. Standard side airbags in the front seats, optional airbags in the outside rear seats,
and curtain airbags keep occupants safe in the event of a side impact, while the integrated Audi
head restraint system reduces the risk of whiplash in rear-end collisions.
Audi offers a range of driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control and Audi side
assist. The night vision assistant identifies pedestrians in the vehicle path and highlights the
pedestrian silhouettes in the display to alert the driver.
The Audi A7 has a brake system designed for maximum performance. The front discs measure
14.02 inches (356 millimeters) in diameter and 13.0 inches (330 millimeters) at the rear.
