Audi A7
Just like the A6, the five-door A7 was largely redesigned for 2019. Now, we turn our attention to its two explosive variants: the S7 featuring a 444-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engine and the fearsome RS 7 whose twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 cranks out 590 horsepower. Both amp up styling to different degrees and their high-tech cabin doesn’t fail to impress, either. For more efficiency, a plug-in hybrid variant with an EV range of about 40 km is coming, too.
