The launch of the new Audi A7 Sportback

The all-new A7 Sportback brings technologies and equipment from the luxury segment into the executive class. Sporty driving qualities are combined with impressive efficiency, in a blend of saloon car versatility, hatchback practicality and coupé elegance.

The first deliveries are scheduled for January 2011, but M25 Audi will be taking customer orders from September 20. On the road prices start at £42,925.

Four engine options will be available initially - 2.8-litre FSI and supercharged 3.0-litre TFSI petrol units, plus two versions of the 3.0-litre TDI. For the first time in Audi models at this level, they will be matched with the rapid-shifting seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch sports transmission wherever quattro four-wheel-drive is installed. Front-wheel-drive versions will have a multitronic CVT automatic transmission.

The Audi drive select adaptive dynamics system will be standard on all models, enabling the driver to fine-tune steering weighting, throttle response and transmission shift points at the touch of a button. Performance enthusiasts will be able to specify the optional quattro sport differential, which has been much praised in the S4 and RS 5.
