2009 Audi A1 Sportback Concept






2009 Audi A1 Sportback concept
Audi took the wraps off a new concept in Detroit that presages the upcoming A7 coupe/sedan that will be joining the lineup in the next year or so. The Sportback concept is a low slung four door in the manner of cars like the Mercedes CLS and is sized similarly to the existing A6 sedan. Besides the updated Audi styling that includes LED lighting everywhere, the concept is powered by 3.0L V6 TDI diesel. This is the same engine going into the Q7 TDI that will be appearing in US Audi showrooms in the next few weeks.

The concept pairs the TDI V6 with the same 7-speed S-Tronic dual clutch transmission used in the new S4 sedan as well as an automatic start-stop system. Even in this fairly large car, the powertrain delivers a combined 39 mpg and CO2 emissions of just 156 g/km.
