2015 Audi A7 Gets Mid-Cycle Facelift
Audi’s A7 will be refreshed for the U.S. market for the 2015 model year.
Though the changes are subtle, the A7 is refreshed for 2015. A wider grille, standard LED headlights and a more aggressive front valence along with updated LED tail lights and more aggressive exhaust tips complete the makeover. Matrix LED headlights are available as an option in Europe, but those will be kept from the U.S. market vehicles because of safety regulations.

Inside, changes were also kept to a minimal with new interior materials and colors and the latest version of the German automaker’s MMI infotainment system. Available as an option is a head-up display, wireless Internet and a Bang & Olufsen stereo system.
Powerplants for the North American version of the A7 will likely see the same engines carried over but expect more performance. In Europe, the 2015 Audi A7 powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 now sports 444 hp, up from the current 420 figure. Expect the base-model 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and the optional 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 to remain unchanged.
