Audi finally unveiled the all-new A7 Sportback during a special event at the art museum "Pinakothek der Moderne" in Munich today. Audi A7 Sportback is launched to compete with the new Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo.
The German carmaker claims the production version of last year's Sportback Concept brings together the best of three worlds:"the sporty elegance of a coupe, the comfort of a sedan and the practicality of a station wagon." In reality, the A7 Sportback is a shaper looking version of the next A6 with a lower roofline, a more practical rear hatch and seating for four.
The car's exterior and interior design has remained largely untouched over the 2009 Detroit show car with most changes concerning practical details such as the larger head- and tail lamps and the shape and size of the exterior mirrors, along with the less fancy trim inside. Iit also gets a neat retractable rear spoiler .
The five-door coupe A7, is 4.97 meters (16.31 ft) long and 1.91 meters (6.27 ft) wide, but only 1.42 meters (4.66 ft) high, with rear hatch having a capacity of 535-liters (18.89 cu ft) that can expand to a volume of 1,390 liters (49.09 cu ft) with the split rear seat backrests folded down.
