While Audi is still offering the 2021 model year A7 Sportback 55 TFSI e quattro, we just spotted in the EPA's database efficiency and range ratings for the new 2022 model year.
It should be a bit more capable as Audi has replaced the previous 14.4 kWh battery with a new one - 17.9 kWh (up 3.8 kWh or 24%), which has 14.1 kWh of usable capacity.
Not only that, the larger battery means that the car will be eligible for a full $7,500 federal tax credit (compared to $6,712 in the case of the 2021 model year).
Let's get into details.

The all-electric EPA Combined range is 26 miles (41.8 km), which is two miles more than previously (over 8% more). That does not sound like much considering the substantially increased battery capacity.
Moreover, the total range is down almost 7% from 440 miles (708 km) to 410 miles (660 km), as the efficiency in hybrid mode is lower than before.
Because we would like to see a clear improvement over the 2021 model year, such numbers give us mixed feelings.
