All-New Audi A7 (spyshot)
Audi is working on the development of
the next A7 four-door coupe and our spies got a hand of one of the first
prototypes in action. While not of the best quality - actually, far from it,
these long-distance shots show us the next A7 in prototype form, giving us an
idea what to expect from the Germans.
Audi’s next generation big four-door
coupe is going to keep the same footprint with the current model but the
adoption of the latest MLB-evo platform will allow not only a smaller weight
figure, but also a roomier cabin.
The new platform also means that Audi
will be able to install alternative powertrains under the bonnet, including a plug-in
hybrid version next to the usual petrol and diesel units. The brand’s Quattro
AWD system will be similarly updated for better fuel efficiency and performance
under spirited driving.
As for the design, Audi is going for a
combination of a wider hexagonal front grille paired with slimmer headlights to
give the new car a much more dynamic and aggressive look. The new family grille
is expected to debut in the new Audi A8 and is derived by the Prologue concept
car.
The whole shape of the car is also expected
to be more organic, getting rid of the sharp creases of the current A7’s rear
end as Audi is actively working on making their cars look and feel more elegant
and sporty.
The new Audi A7 will also feature a
series of semi- and full-autonomous features that will also debut in the larger
A8 and the new generation of the company’s infotainment system which will offer
gesture control among others.
