2012-2018 Audi A7
Mid-size Luxury Hatchback
This five-door, five-passenger car mixes the versatility of a hatchback, the space of a large sedan, and the luxury of a European performance brand in a sleek body. The A7 is also quite functional with standard all-wheel drive and an optional diesel motor rated at 38 mpg on the highway. This is likely why Car and Driver named it to its 10 Best List.
