Rent Audi A7 in Dubai
Rent a Audi a7 in Dubai at the Best Market Rates - No Commission!
The decision most people are really making here is A7 or A6, and the honest answer is that you're paying for the shape. Mechanically the two are close cousins, but the A7 wraps that A6 substance in a long, low fastback roofline with a big hatch tailgate, and it looks far more expensive than it costs to rent. We deliver it anywhere in Dubai with no security deposit held against your card. So when you rent an Audi A7 in Dubai, the question this page settles is simple: is the styling worth a touch less rear headroom, and if you're torn between this and one of Audi's SUVs, which way to lean.
A7 or A6: what you're actually choosing
These cars share a platform, an engine range, and most of the cabin tech. The A7 takes the A6's underpinnings and stretches a coupe-like roof over them, then swaps the sedan's traditional boot lid for a wide hatch. From the front seats you'd struggle to tell them apart. The differences live at the back and in the mirror.
Pick the A7 if the way the car looks pulling up matters to you. It's the more dramatic shape, the one that reads as the flagship of the four-doors, and in a city where a lot of people notice the car, that's a real reason and not a vain one. Pick the A6 if you'll regularly carry tall adults in the back, or if you simply don't want to pay a design premium for a car that does the same daily job. Same engines, same composure on Sheikh Zayed Road, fractionally more practical. We rent both, and we'll tell you straight that the A6 is the sensible head choice. The A7 is the one most people actually want.
The roofline trade, and who feels it
Here's the catch with that sloping roof. Rear headroom is the thing it costs you. Two adults up to around six foot are fine in the back for a run to Abu Dhabi, and kids notice nothing. A taller passenger sitting behind a tall driver will find their head close to the lining on a longer trip. That's the whole trade, and for most renters it's a non-issue, because the back seat carries two people in comfort and the third middle spot is a short-hop seat anyway, as it is in nearly every car this shape.
Legroom isn't the problem. The A7 is a long car, so knees have room. It's purely the height under that beautiful roof. If your booking is two up front and luggage behind, none of this touches you.
That hatch boot is the quiet advantage
People assume the swooping roof means a small, awkward boot. It's the opposite. Because the A7 is a liftback, the whole rear glass and panel lift as one, giving you a wide, tall opening that swallows things a normal sedan boot fights you on. The space itself is generous, around 535 litres, and the rear seats fold to open up a long load bay for the times you're collecting something bulky.
In practice this means a DXB pickup for two with a week of cases is easy, and the odd run to the furniture shop or a set of golf clubs that wouldn't clear a saloon's letterbox opening goes in without drama. If you've ever wrestled a large suitcase over a high sedan lip, the A7's hatch is the thing you'll quietly appreciate every time you load it.
Trims and quattro
Most of our A7s are the petrol mild-hybrid, and that's the right car for Dubai. The engine is smooth, quiet, quick enough that highway overtakes never feel like work, and it settles into a 120 cruise on the way to the capital without raising its voice. You don't need anything more exotic for the roads here.
Quattro all-wheel drive comes on the cars we run, and it earns its place less for grip and more for how planted the car feels at speed and through the interchanges. This isn't a desert tool, and you shouldn't treat it as one. It's a road car that puts its power down cleanly and stays composed when a summer downpour turns Sheikh Zayed Road greasy for an hour. If you want a specific engine or the S line styling, ask when you book rather than at handover, because those move faster off the fleet and we can't promise a particular spec on the day. We won't guarantee an exact colour either.
A7 or one of the SUVs
If you're genuinely torn between the A7 and a Q7 or Q8, it comes down to what you're doing, not which is better. The A7 is the driver's choice: lower, sleeker, more settled on the motorway, easier to place in a tight Marina multi-storey because it isn't tall. It's the better car for a couple, a business stay, or anyone who values how it drives and how it looks over outright height.
Size up to a Q-SUV when you need the high seating position, the extra rear headroom for three adults, or you're loading a family every day. For city and highway use with two or three on board, we'd take the A7 every time. For full family duty, the SUV is the honest call.
Pickup and handover
We bring the car to you, full and clean, anywhere in Dubai, and collect it when you're done at no extra cost. At handover we run through the drive modes, the cameras and the hatch before you sign, and the Salik tag is already fitted so the gates on Sheikh Zayed Road and the Abu Dhabi crossings are handled on your booking without you thinking about them. Mileage is unlimited, so an unplanned capital run doesn't change anything. Bring your passport, licence and entry stamp if you're visiting; residents need an Emirates ID and a UAE licence.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
Should I rent the Audi A7 or the A6?
Rent the A7 if the styling is the point, because that's what separates the two. They share a platform, engines and most of the cabin, so the A6 does the same daily job for less and with a little more rear headroom. The A7 gives you the dramatic fastback shape, the wide hatch boot, and the car that reads as the flagship of the range. If looks and the way it arrives matter to you, the A7 is worth it. If pure practicality is the goal, the A6 is the smarter book.
Is the back seat of the A7 too cramped because of the sloping roof?
It's fine for most people, with the one caveat being headroom for tall adults. Two passengers up to around six foot are comfortable in the back for a long run, and children notice nothing at all. The sloping roofline only bites if a tall passenger sits behind a tall driver on a longer trip, when their head sits close to the lining. Legroom is good, since the A7 is a long car. For two up front with luggage behind, none of it applies.
Is the A7's hatch boot actually practical?
More practical than a normal sedan, which surprises people. Because the A7 is a liftback, the rear glass and panel lift together to give a wide, tall opening, so bulky items that won't clear a saloon's boot lid go in easily. The space is around 535 litres and the rear seats fold for longer loads. A week of suitcases for two from the airport is no trouble, and the bigger, more awkward items that defeat a normal boot are exactly where the hatch pays off.
Does the A7 come with quattro, and do I need it in Dubai?
The A7s we run come with quattro all-wheel drive, and while you won't need it for traction the way a desert car does, it does change how the car feels. It puts the power down cleanly and keeps the car planted on the motorway and through Dubai's faster interchanges. It also helps on the rare day a summer shower leaves Sheikh Zayed Road slick. Treat the A7 as a road car, not an off-roader. If you want a specific engine or S line trim, tell us at booking so we can confirm what's available.
Can I drive the rented A7 to Abu Dhabi or across to Oman?
Driving between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the Emirates needs nothing extra from you, and the Salik tag means the toll gates are already handled on your booking. The A7 is well suited to the capital run, quiet and settled at highway speed with easy overtaking pace. Taking the car into Oman is separate and needs cross-border insurance arranged in advance, so let us know before pickup if Oman is on the plan. Give us a day's notice and we'll sort the paperwork rather than have you turned back at the border.
