Audi A7 Sportback (2019)

[Inkriql]

WHAT IS IT ?: It is the second generation of the Audi fastback for Segment E (large). It replaces the first-generation A7 Sportback, which was sold in Argentina since July 2011. It uses the MLB Evo Platform, of the largest and most luxurious VW Group models. It complements the range of the new A6 (see equipment and price) and A8 (see equipment and prices), which were also launched this week.

MECHANICAL: There is only one motorization available, the same of the new A6: V6 3.0 turbonaftero (340 hp and 500 Nm). Mild-Hybrid technology (uses 48 volt batteries). Automatic double clutch and seven-speed gearbox (S-Tronic 7) and Quattro all-wheel drive.

THE MOST: If the new A6 seems too sober and conservative, the answer is this new A7 Sportback. His body is signed by a team of Italian designers emerged from ItalDesign (the studio created by Giorgio Giugiaro and bought by the VW Group in 2010).

THE LESS: The price of design. It costs 22 thousand dollars more than the A6 with the same mechanics and equipment.

THE DETAIL: Beyond aesthetic issues, the main difference with the A6 is that the gate of the trunk of the A7 Sportback is a fifth door with access to the cabin, which allows to load more bulky objects. The complete equipment is in the technical file to download.

PRICES: $ 121,500. Three year warranty or 100 thousand kilometers.
