PETALING JAYA: Audi Malaysia announced the availability of new variants of the Audi A6 business sedan and the Audi A7 Sportback five-door coupé, both with a high performance 2.0 litre four-cylinder, inline petrol engine coupled with Audi’s legendary quattro permanent all-wheel system.

The Audi A6 2.0 TFSI quattro is priced from RM407,900, whilst the Audi A7 2.0 TFSI quattro will retail from RM484,900.

The executive Audi A6 2.0 TFSI quattro slots in between the entry-point Audi A6 1.8 TFSI and the range-topping Audi A6 3.0 TFSI quattro, and looks almost identical with its larger-engined variant with the only exception beings its 18” 10-spoke V-design alloy wheels.

With balanced proportions and crisp styling, the Audi A6 2.0 TFSI quattro cuts a handsome visage with its signature Singleframe grille and LED headlights and taillights with dynamic indicators.

The elegant Audi A7 2.0 TFSI quattro provides a more accessible option for owners looking to combine the sporty appeal of a coupé, the comfort of a sedan and the practicality of an Avant (station wagon) that comes with the Audi A7.

The understated Audi A7 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro provides a distinctively progressive silhouette with its long bonnet, muscular waistline and sloping roofline.

Under the hood, both vehicles are propelled by a 2.0 litre, 4-cylinder, in-line petrol engine with direct fuel injection and exhaust gas turbocharging that develops a total of 252hp and a maximum torque of 370Nm between the range of 1,600rpm and 4,500rpm.

This sporty engine is then mated with a precise seven-speed S tronic transmission and Audi’s legendary quattro permanent all-wheel drive to allow the sedan to accomplish the century sprint in 6.5 seconds and the five-door coupe to make it in 6.7 seconds.

On to the interior, the Audi A6 2.0 TFSI continues to uphold the standard for business class comfort, with electrically adjustable front seats with four-way lumbar support and a spacious rear seat all done up in Milano leather.

In order to keep all occupants connected and entertained, this executive sedan also features Audi MMI navigation plus with MMI Touch which is accessed through an electrically retractable 8-inch screen, Audi connect which provides Google Earth and W-Fi hotspot functionality and a Bose surround sound 12-channel amplifier with 14 loudspeakers.

The Audi A7 2.0 TFSI quattro features a decidedly sportier interior, featuring a more sculpted dashboard with Aluminium Ellipse silver inlays and underlined further with electrically adjustable sport seats with four-way lumbar support in the front and a cosseting rear seat, all done up in a sporty Alcantara-leather combination.

Also bristling with technology, this Audi A7 Sportback also features all of the same infotainment and connectivity features as the A6 sedan, but with the added function of the Audi Smartphone Interface, which allows the access of a connected iOS or Android smartphone’s features through the vehicle’s MMI interface.

Both the Audi A6 2.0 TFSI quattro and the Audi A7 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro come packed with an array of electronic and mechanical features to ensure safety and efficiency, including a start/stop system with energy recovery, tyre pressure loss indicator, hill descent control, Electronic Stabilisation Control (ESC) which includes Traction Control (ASR), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and a total of eight airbags.
