2021 Audi A7 L: Beautiful liftback turned into ugly sedan for China

Long wheelbase versions of luxury sedans are popular in China because the rich are driven around, but the Audi A7 takes it to the next level.


Not only does the gain an extra 98mm (3.9-in) for the wheelbase, but there’s a big ol’ trunk out the back too because liftbacks (and hatchbacks) are for the poors.

The stretched A7L really changes the design from sexy and slippery to awkward. If I had that kinda cash, I’d go one step further and just get an A8. Or a Bentley.

Thankfully Europe and America will be spared the A7L, it’s only for China.
