The popularity of hybrid vehicles has been gaining steam in South Korea as the country is still in an early phase of adapting electric vehicles. Audi’s A7 55 TFSI e quattro Premium, an upgraded plug-in hybrid vehicle, offers an ideal choice for drivers seeking comfortable city driving on electricity and sporty maneuvering on highways. Measuring at a length of 4,975 millimeters, a wheelbase of 2,926 mm, a width of 1,910 mm and a height of 1,425 mm, the A7 PHEV looks longer, wider and lower than its actual specifications, giving off the vibe of a slick sports sedan.

The slanting roofline also adds to the vehicle’s sportiness. The A7 PHEV’s interior is roomy and sleek. The headroom offers sufficient extra space for an 184-centimeter-tall person.

One distinguishable aspect of the interior is the haptic feedback of the center display and the control panel. The display can make a subtle click or vibration when touching it, similar to a hard button. The upper display provides connectivity features such as Android Auto for more familiar navigation.

The acceleration from a standstill feels as smooth as butter, thanks to the A7 PHEV’s electric motor. Boasting a maximum driving distance of 47 kilometers per charge, the drive on electricity covers enough distance to get out of Seoul. The A7 PHEV provides three driving modes: EV, battery hold and hybrid.

The hybrid mode allows fuel-efficient driving as it integrates the electric motor and internal combustion engine to lower the us.
