Audi has officially unveiled the all new 2012 A6 sedan which is all set to take on the might of the new BMW 5-Series and Mercedes Benz’s E-Class.

The new A6 will make its market debut in early 2011  and will be available with a raft of engine options including a hybrid, which Audi says will have the performance of a V6 and fuel efficiency of a four cylinder.

Designed heavily on the lines of the new A8, the 2012 A6 sedan measures 4.92 meters (16.14 ft) long, 1.87 meters (6.14 ft) in width, it is only 1.46 meters (4.79 ft) tall and has a wheelbase of 2.91 meters (9.55 ft). The harmonious proportions – the long engine hood, the short overhangs, and the sweeping roofline – embody a character of athletic elegance.

Painted a high-gloss black, the large, low single-frame grill featuring beveled upper corners merges neatly with the sculptured front end. The horizontal orientation of the louvers underscores the width of the latest A6, as do the wide, low air intakes.

The interplay between soft surfaces and precise, hard lines dominates the side view of the new Audi A6. Typical for the brand, the sheet-metal body is roughly twice as tall as the greenhouse. The tornado line beneath the window edge runs across the entire flank; it forms a prominent shaded edge, lending strength to the body’s shoulders. Above the side sills lies the dynamic line, taking a slight upward turn. A high-gloss package accentuates the area around the windows.

The elegant line ends in a prominent tail end with a subtle spoiler edge. The matt black diffuser insert envelopes the two large, round tailpipes for the exhaust system. As is always the case on an Audi, the surfaces at the tail end are three-dimensional in shape. The styling of the two-part tail lights also echoes the trapezoidal shape of the headlights at the rear of the car.

Audi says that more than 20% of the body with add on parts such as the engine hood, the front fenders, the rear hatch and doors as well as bulkhead and cross member in the luggage compartment are all made of aluminium to keep the weight down. The front suspension is also aluminium and features five control arms while at the rear is a self tracking trapezoidal-link suspension. Adaptive air suspension with controlled damping and a dynamic steering system will also be available as an optional extra.

The new 2012 A6 will be available with five engine options at launch – two gasoline and three diesels. The gasoline range starts with 2.8 liter naturally aspirated V6 with 204 hp and 280 nm of torque which does the 0-100 kph sprint in a claimed 7.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 240 kmph along with average consumption of 7.4 liter per 100 kms the EU cycle.

The other gasoline option is the 3.0 liter TFSI supercharged V6 which develops 300 hp and 440 nm of torque. The TFSI model sprints from 0-100 kph in just 5.5 seconds on top a top speed of 250 kmph (electrically limited).

The diesel engine range has three options – starting with a 2.0 liter four cylinder TDI delivering 177 bhp and 380 nm of maximum torque. Next up is the 3.0 liter TDI V6 which develops 204 hp of maximum power and 400 nm of maximum torque or 245 hp of maximum power and 500 nm of maximum torque in its more powerful top of the line version.

The 2.0 liter TDI achieves 0-100 kph in 8.7 seconds and fuel efficiency of 4.9 liter per 100 kms in the EU cycle while the powerful 3.0 TDI V6 does the 0-100 kph run in 7.2 seconds or 6.1 seconds for the more powerful variant. The fuel efficiency figures stand at 5.2 liter per 100 kms for the 204 hp variant and 6.0 liter per 100 kms for the higher powered 245 hp variant.

Transmission options include a 6-speed manual transmission, a CVT, seven-speed S-tronic automatic depending on the engine on offer or the eight-speed automatic which will arrives in the hybrid. The transmissions will either drive the front wheels or quattro permanent all-wheel drive system depending upon the variant.

The A6 hybrid will be Audi’s only second model apart from the q5 Hybrid Quattro. The hybrid model will come with a 211 hp 2.0 TFSI engine paired with an electric motor developing 33 kW and 211 nm of torque. The A6 Hybrid will employ a parallel hybrid concept with electric motor sitting directly behind the TFSI, occupying the space of the torque converter upstream of the modified 8-speed tiptronic that drives the front wheels.

The hybrid system uses a lithium-ion battery pack which provides 1.3 kWh of nominal power and is stored under the luggage compartment. The hybrid can not only operate in the engine only or hybrid mode but can also run on pure electric mode to speeds upto 100 kph but  not for very long.

The A6 Hybrid accelerates from 0-100 kph in 7.3 seconds (claimed) with a top speed of 238 kmph and will return an impressive 6.2 liter per 100 kms equating to CO2 emissions level of just 142 grams per km.

The future range will also include Avant Station Wagon Model, a go faster S6 and bonkers RS6 model.

Audi has finally revealed the A7 Sportback in all its glory at a special event that took place at “Pinakothek der Moderne” art museum in Munich today.

The 5-door fastback coupe is Audi’s own take on the segment which currently has rivals in the form of BMW 5-Series GT and the upcoming Mercedes Benz CLS and to a lesser extent the Aston Martin Rapide and the Porsche Panamera. Based on the next generation A6’s modified platform the A7 Sportback was penned alongside the new A8 luxury sedan and according to the Audi is a perfect combination of elegant sports coupe, a sports sedan and practicality of a station wagon.

The overall styling remains true to the concept shown at the 2010 Delhi Auto Expo except for some minor details like the slightly reprofiled outside rear view mirror, bigger air dam on the front bumper and less pizza’s for the interiors which are more somber. The front is striking with angular headlamps while the side profile is a cross between the shooting brake and a coupe!

The A7 Sportback sits 4.97 meters long, 1.91 meters wide and 1.42 meters high. Its very practical as well with seating for four in true comfort and a boot capacity of 535 liters which swells to 1390 liter with the rear seats folded.

Powertrain details are still scarce but Audi says that A7 Sportback will comingwith 4 engines at launch – 2 petrols and 2 diesels with power outputs ranging from 204 bhp to 300 bhp. We are guessing the entry level 3.0 TDI V6 diesel to do with 204 bhp while the top of the range engine for now will be the 3.0 liter V6 Supercharged petrol with 300 bhp. The engines will be mated to either CVT multitronic transmission on the front wheel drive models or the dual clutch seven speed  S-Tronic transmission with Audi’s Quattro all wheel drive system.

Audi hasn’t mentioned the go faster S7 or the RS7 or even the hybrid but they will be launched in due course. The A7 Sportback will hit showroom this fall with price starting from €51,600 in Germany.

Press Release

Audi is targeting a new vehicle class with the A7 Sportback. The large, elegant five-door model combines the emotional character of a grand coupe, the comfort and prestige of a sedan and the active practicality of a station wagon. With its lightweight body, the powerful and efficient V6 engines, the sporty chassis and the advanced assistance and multimedia systems, it sets standards in many fields of technology. The Audi A7 Sportback will roll into dealerships in the fall, with prices starting at €51,650.

Aesthetic and athletic – the Audi A7 Sportback

Emotion-packed design, sporty character and innovative technology: Audi is targeting a new market segment with the A7 Sportback. The large five-door model with the dynamically accentuated rear end brings together the best of three worlds: the sporty elegance of a coupe, the comfort of a sedan and the practicality of a station wagon.

The A7 Sportback is pure high-tech. Its body is very lightweight thanks to numerous aluminum components. The elegant interior shows a craftsman’s level of workmanship. The four V6 engines combine refined power with groundbreaking efficiency. The 3.0 TDI with 150 kW (204 hp) and multitronic has CO2 emissions of just 139 grams per kilometer (223.70 g/mile). The sporty chassis comes with new solutions, such as electromechanical power steering. When it comes to assistance and infotainment systems, the luxury-class coupe exhibits all of the innovative power expected of Audi.

The five-door coupe from Audi combines supreme, long-distance comfort with a sporty character. The interior noise level is very low even at fast highway speeds, with the V6 engines providing refined acoustic feedback as their power unfolds.

The excellent vibrational comfort likewise contributes to the atmosphere of cultured tranquility on board. This is the result of painstakingly tuning all components, systematic hydraulic damping in the axle and drivetrain bearings and the extremely stiff body. The body is comprised primarily of aluminum and high-tech steels, making it extremely lightweight and safe. The large rear hatch opens wide to reveal a large, extremely usable luggage compartment that is very easy to load. Its 535-liter (18.89 cu ft) capacity swells to a volume of 1,390 liters (49.09 cu ft) with the rear seat backrests folded down.

With the A7 Sportback, which will be rolling into dealerships in the fall at a base price of €51,600, Audi is taking up a new design line representing elegance on a grand scale. The five-door coupe is 4.97 meters (16.31 ft) long and 1.91 meters (6.27 ft) wide, but only 1.42 meters (4.66 ft) high. Its long hood, the short front overhang, the long wheelbase, the sportily flowing C-pillars and the sharply dropping rear create a dynamic overall impression. The five-door coupe is an aesthetic athlete with a wide, powerful road stance.

Optional LED headlights reinforce the unmistakable expression of the A7 Sportback and provide all light functions with light-emitting diodes while minimizing energy consumption. Bi-xenon headlights and LED tail lights come standard. The innovative all-weather light function has also been integrated into the headlights, replacing the classic fog lights.

The sinewy sportiness of the exterior carries over into the interior of the A7 Sportback, where Audi again demonstrates its leading role in automotive design. The salient element is the “wrap-around,” a horizontal line that encircles the driver and front-seat passenger in the interior to provide a feeling of safety and security. The wave-shaped application strip with its integrative dynamics is the salient element of the dashboard.

The utmost care has been devoted to every last detail in the interior. Workmanship is at a craftsman’s level. Optional climate-control and massage functions are available for the front seats covered in high-grade Audi leathers. The optional ambient lighting fills the entire interior with atmosphere.

Like Audi’s A8 flagship, the A7 Sportback also combines a new level of technical intelligence with logical, intuitive ergonomics and self-explanatory operation. The advanced MMI operating system with central menu button and reduced number of buttons comes standard, while one of the options is a new head-up display that projects the most important information on the windshield. The MMI touch system combines a hard drive navigation system with the convenience of touchpad input.

The driver can use the touchpad to perform numerous functions, such as using his or her finger to write the letters of the destination or the digits of the telephone number.

The online services work together with Google to connect the five-door Audi coupe to the Internet via the Bluetooth car phone. A UMTS module delivers images and information from Google Earth to the monitor and combines them with the navigation route. A WLAN hotspot is used to connect mobile devices. Further to the Bose sound system, the top-of-the-line option is the Advanced Sound System from Bang & Olufsen featuring 1,300 watts of power and 15 speakers.

The top navigation system works closely together with the many optional driver assistance and safety systems in the A7 Sportback. It forwards the route data to the control units for the headlights, the automatic transmission and the adaptive cruise control with stop & go function, enabling these systems to recognize complex scenarios. In many cases, the Audi pre sense safety system can reduce the severity of accidents and their consequences. The new Audi active lane assist helps the driver to keep the A7 Sportback firmly on course, and the new park assist system relieves the driver of the chore of steering when parallel parking.

Audi will initially offer the A7 Sportback with a choice of four powerful and cultivated V6 engines: two gasoline and two TDI units. Their power output ranges from 150 kW (204 hp) to 220 kW (300 hp), and their efficiency sets impressive new standards in the vehicle class. The new 3.0 TDI with 150 kW (204 hp) and multitronic consumes on average just 5.3 liters of fuel per 100 km (44.38 US mpg), corresponding to CO2 emissions of just 139 g per km (223.70 g/mile). All engines use Audi’s innovative thermal management system, a recuperation system and a start-stop system.

The standard automatic transmissions also play a role in the high efficiency of the Audi A7 Sportback. Audi offers two different transmissions depending on the engines: The continuous multitronic sends the power to the front wheels, while the sporty seven-speed S tronic works together with quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The latest evolutionary stage of quattro features a crown-gear center differential and torque vectoring.

The drive system is particularly flexible and dynamic. The optional sport differential actively distributes the power between the rear wheels.

The chassis also combines sporty precision with luxurious comfort. The Audi A7 Sportback rolls on large wheels measuring from 18 to 20 inches in diameter. The chassis features aluminum control arms and a newly developed power steering system with an electromechanical drive for high efficiency. The Audi drive select dynamics system is standard and can be supplemented by the optional adaptive air suspension with controlled damping.

The production version has stayed true to the concept which was displayed at the 2010 Delhi Auto Expo except for some minor details like the design of the outside rear view mirrors and the air dam on the front bumper. The interior design is almost identical as well save for changes in the color schemes and the trim. The reports coming out on the internet also suggest that this is going to be a strict four seater.
