Audi has unveiled the 2015 A7/S7 Sportback modification set to go on the market towards the end of summer.
The German automaker hasn’t made any significant changes to the model. On front, for instance, the A7 and S7 have received a tweaked single-frame grille as well as a reshaped bumper, with the Matrix LED headlights being now optionally available. The back changes are limited to a mildly revised bumper and updated exhaust pipes.
With regards to the interior, Audi has added new materials such as the aluminum/Beaufort walnut inlay and Valcona leather, while a revised color palette now includes five hues for the seats.
The A7 Sportback is powered by Audi’s recently introduced V6 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel which outputs 272 PS (200 kW), or 218 PS (160 kW) in the “ultra” variant. If that isn’t enough, there’s a also a more powerful 3.0 TDI bi-turbo with 320 PS (235 kW) mated to an 8-speed tiptronic gearbox (the other engines are connected to a 7-speed S tronic). The S7 version comes with a 4.0 TFSI with 450 PS (331 kW) powerplant, which benefits from cylinder-on-demand technology.
The vehicles are feature updated MMI Navigation plus, while other assistance systems include night vision, adaptive cruise control with stop & go function, active lane assist, side assist and Audi’s pre sense safety system.
As mentioned earlier, the new A7 and S7 are expected to start shipping later this summer, with prices in Germany starting at €51,300 (about $70,000) for the A7 and €82,300 (about $112,000) for the S7.
