After the partial configuration was reduced, the guidance price of the whole series of models was reduced by 19400, and the official guidance price was 57-770000 yuan.

Previously, 2022 Audi A7 owners said that the Audi A7 had reduced its rear light dynamic effects since May, leaving only matrix LED headlights and rear light dynamic steering lights, both of which will now be cancelled because of "the impact of the global parts supply chain".

As a medium and large car owned by Audi, the Audi A7 has always been recognized as the most outstanding model under Audi due to the design of frameless doors, sliding back and sedan body, and has received a lot of attention after the Audi A7L went public in China. However, as the Audi A7 is an imported model, compared with domestic models, it is relatively seriously affected by the supply of spare parts, coupled with repeated global epidemics, has also had a certain impact on logistics and freight transport. Therefore, after entering 2022, the sales performance of Audi A7 is not optimistic. From January to August in 2022, the cumulative volume of Audi A7 was 2376, down 55.18% from the same period last year.

In addition, although Audi A7L domestic sales are not good, but also affect the market performance of imported Audi A7. In early September, SAIC Audi officially updated the price of the Audi A7L 45TFSI model, with the original guidance price range of 45.98-519900 yuan and the new guidance price range of 41.87-489900 yuan, with a minimum reduction of 20000 yuan and a maximum reduction of 41000 yuan. It should be noted that the Audi A7L is only for price adjustment and does not involve changes in product configuration. After price adjustment, the starting price of the Audi A7L is lower than that of the Audi A6L. The data showed that Audi A7L retail sales of 352 vehicles in September, up slightly from 274 in August.

The Audi A7L is the first mass-produced model under SAIC Audi. The biggest difference between the Audi A7L and the imported Audi A7 is the cancellation of the slippery-back body design and the lengthening of the body according to the needs of the domestic market, which tends to the traditional hatchback shape. In addition, there is not much difference between the domestic model and the imported version. The new intake grille is decorated with horizontal and vertical strips, which is still the traditional hexagonal design of the Audi family, with laser matrix LED headlights on both sides. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5076/1908/1429mm, the wheelbase is 3026mm, compared with the imported version of the body lengthened 100mm, wheelbase lengthened 98mm. For comparison, the length, width and height of the imported Audi A7 are 4976/1908/1408mm and the wheelbase is 2934mm.

On the power side, the Audi A7L 45TFSI carries a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 180kw (245hp) and a peak torque of 370N ·m, matching a seven-speed wet double-clutch transmission. Audi A7L 55TFSI is equipped with 3.0T V6 engine, maximum 250kw (340hp), peak torque of 500N ·m, matching 7-speed wet double clutch transmission, all standard Quatro four-wheel drive system.
