The new 2020 Audi S7 Sportback TDI comes with consistent electrification: In its S models, Audi draws on the twin benefits of a TDI drive system and electrification. The Audi S7 is launching with a three-liter V6 TDI engine, a 48-volt mild hybrid system and an electric powered compressor. A maximum torque of 700 Nm and a power output of up to 349 horsepower gives the S models ample power on long journeys with low fuel consumption and substantial range. Its outstanding agility makes it the first choice for performance-oriented customers. New suspension modules such as dynamic all-wheel steering and a striking design give the Audi S7 Sportback a strong and imposing presence on the road.
The results: instant responsiveness from just over idling speed and hefty power buildup at a consistently high level of up to 3100 rpm. In addition, in conjunction with the 48-volt mild hybrid system, the V6-TDI engine provides an unrivaled range: For instance, with its 19.3 US gal tank, the S7 sedan can travel up to 727 mi with fuel consumption of 37.9 US mpg.
Also, the S7 comes with an electric powered compressor, which ensures rapid torque buildup when accelerating. The electric powered compressor also delivers that essential kick in the new S models. Here, it has been moved right next to the engine for an even faster response time. This ensures more direct gas paths and even greater efficiency. Interaction of the EPC and the turbocharger enables instant responsiveness and powerful acceleration in all driving situations.
The EPC gets its energy from the 48-volt mild hybrid system, meaning that sufficient electrical energy is on hand in almost every situation. Unlike a conventional turbocharger, it starts up solely by means of electric power. It has a rapid response of around 250 milliseconds. In the range of 2500 to 3100 rpm, the combination of the EPC and the turbocharger allows an instant and even increase in torque with a peak of 700 Nm. The driver experiences smooth power delivery and a sporty driving sensation on everyday journeys, even at low engine speeds.
The three-liter V6 TDI was developed for the high level of driving performance of the S models and is adapted to the increased power output in many respects—with more temperature-resistant aluminum pistons, modifications to the crankshaft and connecting rods, cooling-optimized cylinder heads and an enlarged oil and coolant pump. Overall, these technical adaptations also ensure improved efficiency. Through the outstanding concept of a powerful V6 diesel engine and electrified drivetrain, the S TDI models achieve huge ranges.
The S7 is extensively equipped. Along with the features already mentioned, LED headlights are standard across the range, while the Audi virtual cockpit and four-zone automatic air conditioning are also included.
The new S models are characterized by their individual design—outside and inside alike. They radiate their entirely distinctive, sporty yet understated character. An emphatic bumper with large air intakes, S trim elements in dark chrome and with an aluminum look, for instance on the radiator grille and front spoiler, striking side sills, exterior mirror housings in aluminum look, a wide rear diffuser, and four tailpipe trims give them a strong presence on the road.
As in all S models from Audi, quattro permanent all-wheel drive comes as standard. In normal driving conditions, its self-locking center differential distributes torque between the front and rear axle in a 40:60 ratio.
The interior boasts the typical S model look—with color schemes characterized by cool, dark tones, with aluminum decorative inlays, contrast stitching and model-specific equipment details. Sports seats with leather/Alcantara covers and S embossing come as standard. Alternatively, in the S7 Sportback, there are the heavily contoured S sports seats with integrated head restraints and a diamond pattern, which are standard in the S7 Sportback, as well as the highly adjustable customized contour seats, optionally with ventilation and a massage function. Here too, the covers are available in top-quality Valcona leather. Several leather packages and decorative inlays are available to customize the interior further.
What makes the Audi S models** such excellent long-haul cars is not just their high range, but also their rigid body structure, which forms the basis for their precise handling, low level of interior noise and outstanding crash safety. Further strengths are the sophisticated aerodynamics and aeroacoustics and the spacious interior and luggage compartment.
The S models will be launched on the European markets in spring and summer 2019. Base prices in Germany is 82,750 EUR for the S7 Sportback.
