Launched at the end of `2017`, the A7 Sportback C8 moves to the `MLB Evo` platform with a far more digital cabin, the same large-road-car footprint and a positioning that is more technological than truly sporty. Against a BMW 6 Series, it wins mainly through silence, ride quality and presentation, but it asks buyers to accept a denser electronic and electrical layer than the C7. On the used market, it is no longer just a handsome Audi: it is a premium five-door car whose maintenance seriousness must show clearly in the paperwork.
