Hello guys, I'm in the market for a used Audi a7 atm the moment and I want to know how do you guys tell the difference between the trim packages? Im currently looking at a 2014 a7 Prestige with LED headlights but no s line package...

Hey Snowmuch-

For the 2011-2015 model years, the Prestige trim looks aggressive, has what looks like large, open intake vents beneath the headlights; the Premium Plus looks much more conservative, has smaller, closed looking structures in the same place.

You will want to focus on the Prestige, in my opinion.

A prestige will have heads up display and ventilated seats.

it should have the rear AC controls as well. also the prestige comes with the S Line packaging.

Heads up display is an option on the 2014 Prestige.

Innovation package, right? It gets hard to keep up when package contents change every model year.

Oh dang, the reason why it's so confusing to meets because I live in Canada and our packages are way off... Anyways, how's the long term reliability of A7?

The configuration in Canada is completely different from the USA.

Here are some of the Canadian order guides and documents for the previous model years.

As far as long term reliability of the A7, I got my first one in 2011 (2012 TFSI) and have traded it in 2014 for a 2015 TDI.

The reliability on both cars is excellent, I had only one occasion that I was stuck (fortunately on my home driveway) and the dealership arranged to tow it in. As it turned out, it was just a precaution on their part and I could have driven it in.

The failures and issues are usually with the "toys" which are annoying but do not effect drive-ability.

I much prefer the TDI version, regardless of the ongoing Dieselgate scandal.

The 2012 guide attached is for Audi America. Do you have the Canadian one? I've been looking at used A7 and have found several in the US that are from Canada, so trying to understand the packages and options.
