If you fancy a posh company car, there’s now a cheaper diesel option available for the Audi A7 Sportback.

This engine can be had on both Sport and S Line models, but – more importantly – this equates to a lower entry-level point into the A7 range, with the lowest P11D price at £51,670 for Sport and £54,570 for S Line.

You still get the eight-speed automatic and Quattro four-wheel drive system here, so 0-62mph takes 6.5 seconds and the top speed remains at 155mph.

The cheapest A7 Sportback will be the 45 TDI Sport, producing 147g/km; equating to a BIK tax band of 34% on 2018/19 rates. With its P11D value of £51,670, this equates to a cost per month of under £293 for a 20% taxpayer.

This diesel continues to use mild-hybrid technology to maxmise fuel efficiency, but you can find out more details about the tech, all the BIK costs and what comes as standard at the link below.
