The 2018 Audi A7
Sportback has been showcased at the ongoing Thai Motor Expo. The second
generation of the A7 has been on sale in Thailand for 5,399,000 baht. The aesthetics of the 2018 Audi A7 Sportback follow Ingolstadt's latest
design language, which was previewed by the Prologue concept.
At its front-end,
the newest iteration of the A7 features a somewhat angular version of the
signature Singleframe grille. Another talking point is the set of HD Matrix LED
headlamps with a high laser beam. Stylish 21-inch alloy wheels characterise the
side profile while the rear houses LED lights and an active spoiler.
The 2018 Audi A7
Sportback is 4,969 mm long, 1,908 mm wide, and 1,422 mm tall with a wheelbase
of 2,926 mm. In comparison, the earlier generation had an overall length of
4,974 mm, a width of 2,138 mm, and a height of 1,420 mm. Its wheelbase, at
2,914 mm, was shorter. Moreover, the interior length witnesses an increase of
21 mm.
The highlights of
the cabin are the 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit, Audi Artificial Intelligence
systems, 10.1-inch MMI navigation plus touchscreen infotainment system and an
8.6-inch touch display for accessing the climate control system, comfort
functions and text input. The centre console is driver-oriented for easier
accessibility to the controls.
The MLB Evo
platform underpins the 2018 Audi A7 Sportback. The Thai-spec model is powered
by a 3.0-litre TFSI V6 petrol engine that outputs 340 PS and 500 Nm. The
turbocharged motor comes paired with a 7-speed S-Tronic automatic transmission
that drives the wheels through the Quattro all-wheel-drive system.
