Self Study Program 990303 – The 2012 Audi A7 Running Gear and Suspension Systems

VAG SSP 990303. The major development goals for the running gear and suspension of the 2012 Audi A7 were to achieve great agility, precise handling, a high level of safety, and refined driving comfort.

These goals have been accomplished with the use of Audi’s proven five-link front axle in conjunction with a trapezoidal link rear axle. This is the same suspension configuration used on the 2011 Audi A8.

Other design features, such as mounting the front final drive ahead of the differential, resulted in a larger wheelbase, which increased ride comfort and shortened the front overhang.

As in other Audi models, the steering gear is mounted forward of the front axle which helps ensure exact steering response and a precise steering feel in every driving situation.

The implementation of electromechanical power steering has not only reduced fuel consumption but also enabled additional functions that contribute to driver safety.
