Audi A7
In addition to the conventionally powered A7 Sportback, Audi offers a plug-in hybrid variant called A7 TFSI e. Using a 17.9-kWh battery, the latter can travel up to 39 kilometres without burning any gasoline. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine takes over after that. For performance enthusiasts, there is a pair of models worth checking out: the 444-horsepower S7 Sportback and 591-horsepower RS 7 Sportback. Pricing ranges from $81,700 to $129,000.
