At the end of last year, multiple versions of the Audi A6 camouflage car debuted, and although all we saw were the first-class ant versions, Audi's best-selling luxury mid-to-large sedan is indeed approaching the consumer market. However, in the multiple versions of **, the model that received the e-tron all-electric nameplate seems to be closer to mass production. As we will see in the first spy shot, it is from the Audi A6 **ant e-tron, which has removed most of its camouflage and even ushered in electronic exterior mirrors. And now, we are finally about to see the real new generation of the Audi A6 **ant, which is the Audi A7 **ant.
Is it an Audi A6 or an Audi A7? In fact, Audi has announced that it will complete the renaming of products, pure electric products will be named even in the future, and internal combustion engine products will be named after odd numbers, which is why the new generation of Audi A6 **ant will enter the consumer market under the name of Audi A7 **ant, and at the same time have a pure electric version, which is the Audi A6 **ant e-tron seen here.
In the shot is the new generation of Audi A7 **ant, the vehicle does not have split headlights like the pure electric version, but adopts a better integrated one-piece combination, from the current state, the turn signals do not provide a streamer dynamic lighting effect. In terms of headlights, we see the longitudinal layout of the air holes, which will have a stronger independence than the Audi A6 **ANT imported and sold in China, rather than being enclosed in a larger enveloping structure.
At the front of the car, the grille has been significantly expanded, and the distance between the lower part of the grille and the front bumper is narrower, almost like a breadboard with a spoiler front lip. However, from this frontal point of view, the deflector does create more three-dimensional structures around the deflector to participate in the dynamic turbulence, and it also has a laterally inserted fin-shaped spoiler panel, which is a little more sporty than the current model.
Viewed sideways, the lines on the body are not clear at the moment, but they can be distinguished from the independent sports surrounding, and the car's waistline should produce small segments, and the semi-hidden door handles on the doors seem to be a tribute to the Audi 100 from decades ago, and it does have the effect of reducing drag. What's more, this angle allows for a more complete front structure, whether it's the bulging muscles on the sides of the hood or the strong downward slope generated by the edges, the new Audi A7 **ant seems to be somewhat similar to the current Audi A7.
Audi A7 **ANT's taillight group is definitely the most exciting part, the hammer-shaped style of the past has disappeared, replaced by a completely redesigned L-shaped digital taillight, dense light with a strong sharp three-dimensional feeling, and ** completes the overall through, here is also laid out with a rear deflector, a total of two exhaust pipes on one side, etc., we are seeing a more technological, more sports coupe style of a new generation of design.
From this angle, we can see that the entire roof structure, including the C-pillar, has a clear tendency to shrink inward, and the body with a narrow top and a wide bottom is indeed more common in coupe cars, and even reminds us of Porsche. In addition, the rear bumper creates a visible double surrounding, and sensor radar is also laid out at both ends.
In addition, we have obtained some renderings released overseas**, and from this version, the Audi A7**ANT has been completely upgraded to a coupe wagon, similar to the design we saw on the current Audi A7, with all the three-dimensional lines and surround structure in the service of sportiness.
In terms of power, it is now confirmed that the Audi A6 e-tron and Audi A6 **ant e-tron, which will arrive later this year, will achieve 800V high-voltage fast charging through a PPE platform jointly developed with Porsche, support 270kW charging power, and are expected to receive a 100kWh battery pack.
Write at the end
Audi A6 **ant e-tron, Audi A7 **ant, no matter which version Audi brings the new generation of Audi A6 to the market, we will see its enterprising spirit towards the sports market. However, just like the problems faced by the interior of the many ** and the Audi Q6 e-tron that has been unveiled, there is still a gap between the intelligence of Audi in the new generation of products compared with market expectations, and before the arrival of Audi's 800V high-voltage fast charging, digital cockpit and the last fuel car, it is better or worse than the other two in the BBA.
