{There is|There may be|There's} an expression that {car|automobile|automotive} manufacturers will {frequently|ceaselessly|continuously|incessantly|often|regularly|steadily} use {in order to|as a way to|in an effort to|so as to|to be able to|with a purpose to|with a view to|with the intention to}, {well|effectively|nicely|properly}, flog their wares and now it has descended into language abuse. {In this|On this} {instance|occasion} Audi has some justification: on first {glance|look} {the best|one of the best|the most effective|the perfect|the very best}, {and probably|and doubtless|and possibly}, {only|solely} fitting {way|approach|manner|means|method} {to describe|to explain} the A7 to your mate down the pub is that it抯 a 憇porty?{version|model} of the A6 saloon. There抯 {no doubt|little doubt|little question} {it is|it's} {an impressive|a formidable|a powerful} {looking|trying|wanting} machine - {probably|in all probability|most likely} {the most|essentially the most|probably the most} elegant of the, ahem, non-sporty Audis. Essentially, it抯 {a larger|a bigger} {version|model} of the A5 Sportback on a {totally|completely} new platform sitting between the A5 and A8, and no argument. The Audi A7 is a direct rival for the Mercedes CLS and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, and to some extent the Jaguar XF. The Audi {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} a subtly {different|completely different|totally different} look to the A6 on which it抯 {based|based mostly|primarily based} and there抯 {definitely|positively|undoubtedly} a {greater|better|higher|larger} sense of {purpose|function|goal|objective} to its styling that helps it stand out. Inside, the A7 {is also|can also be|can be} {a little|a bit|a bit of|a little bit|just a little|slightly|somewhat} {different|completely different|totally different} to the A6 in {the way|the best way|the way in which} it {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} and feels, which all contribute to the A7 feeling {a little|a bit|a bit of|a little bit|just a little|slightly|somewhat} {more|extra} bespoke and {stylish|fashionable|trendy}.
{Like the|Just like the} A6, the A7 {is also|can also be|can be} {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} in three trims {levels|ranges} - {namely|particularly|specifically} SE, S Line and Black Edition spec and A7 Black Edition. Black Edition trim was {only|solely} added in late 2016 and is {the highest|the best|the very best} spec {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} with the A7 - excluding S7 and S7 Black Edition. Building on {the standard|the usual} {equipment|gear|tools} {list|checklist|listing|record} of the A7 S Line, Black Edition {adds|provides} {a number of|a lot of|a variety of|numerous|plenty of|quite a few|quite a lot of|various} {features|options}, {including|together with} Bose {surround|encompass} sound, {unique|distinctive} 21-inch alloy wheels, {privacy|privateness} glass, S Line Sport suspension and the black styling {package|bundle|package deal}. Where the Mercedes CLS and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe can tempt {buyers|consumers|patrons} in with {the way|the best way|the way in which} they drive, the A7 {just|simply} misses out on their deftness of {touch|contact}. While the A7 goes {round|spherical} corners {very quickly|in a short time} and safely {thanks to|because of|due to} Quattro all-wheel drive, it doesn抰 have the {feedback|suggestions} from the steering or suspension that its rivals {offer|provide|supply}. It makes the A7 {feel|really feel} a {touch|contact} leaden, {though|although} it does {also|additionally} make the {car|automobile|automotive} {incredibly|extremely} stable and {sure|certain|positive}-footed on the motorway {where|the place} it {is an ideal|is a perfect} cruiser. So can this {car|automobile|automotive} hope to {catch up with|meet up with} the likes of the CLS or 6 Series Gran Coupe?
