While the Audi A7 has been in production since 2010, it wasn’t until the 2021 model year that this attractive luxury sedan became available as a plug-in hybrid. Not long after its debut, the A7 was awarded a Top Safety Pick+ designation. Now the PHEV is being recognized for its powertrain, having been named the “Best Luxury Plug-In Hybrid” by U.S. News & World Report.
The editors at U.S. News lauded the A7 Plug-In Hybrid for its responsive steering, spacious and premium interior, and safety features. Although it’s currently a small category, the Audi A7 still beat other top luxury competitors like the BMW 3 Series and 7 Series as well as the Volvo S60 and S90. Neither of those brands had any models on the comprehensive U.S. News list of 2021 Best Hybrid and Electric Vehicles.
