Selecting a car can be an impulsive decision for some, but for others, it’s a careful process akin to choosing a trusted companion. Shakira, known for her success in music and Middle Eastern Belly Dance, is not only an accomplished entrepreneur, actress, and philanthropist but also someone who approaches car selection as a personal affair. With a net worth of $300 million, she indulges in various expenditures, including lavish homes, her family, and her charitable foundation, Pies Descalzos (meaning ‘Barefoot’). However, Shakira also has a passion for cars that reflect her charismatic and flamboyant personality.
One of her favored vehicles is the Audi A7 Sportback, a popular car introduced in 2014 following the remarkable success of the Audi A7. Continuing the momentum of its predecessor, this four-door Sportback quickly gained popularity worldwide and found its place in Shakira’s garage. The car boasts a redesigned front grille and bumper, showcasing the brand’s versatility.
Additionally, optional LED headlights are available, accompanied by interior changes and technological upgrades.
Setting it apart from other models in the brand’s lineup, the A7 Sportback introduced a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission system to power all wheels, departing from the older Multitronic gearbox. Performance-wise, buyers can choose between two gasoline engines: a 2.0-liter TFSI 7AT (252 HP) and a 3.0-liter TFSI Quattro 7AT (333 HP), as well as nine diesel engines ranging from 190 HP to 326 HP. The 2014 Audi A7 Sportback had a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MRSP) ranging from $64,500 to $66,900.
