The A7 is in essence a four-door fastback version of the C7-series Audi A6, based on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform. The A7 was released before the more conventional A6 saloon/estate.{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/car-manufacturers/audi/8287050/Audi-A6-review.html |title=Audi A6 Review |last=Knapman |first=Chris |date=28 January 2011 |work=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=17 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120628120652/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/car-manufacturers/audi/8287050/Audi-A6-review.html |archive-date=28 June 2012}} Both cars share the same core structure, drivetrain, chassis, dashboard and interior, whilst the A7 has its own unique exterior panelwork. It also differs from the A6 in that it uses aluminium for much of its front body structure. The A7 was also the first fastback to appear within the Audi C-platform series since the Avant version of the C2 Audi 100, which was discontinued in 1982.
