2012 Audi A7 Sportback priced from $ 59,250 in the U.S.


Available starting at U.S. dealers in late April 2011, the 2012 Audi A7 Sportback will be priced starting at $ 59,250 (not including an $ 875 destination charge). At launch, the A7 Sportback is powered by a 3.0-liter TFSI V6 gasoline engine combined with Quattro 4-wheel drive system and 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.

The V6 engine produces 310 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 5.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 209 km/h as revealed by Audi USA website. However, it could be mistaken because the Europe press releases said the top speed of the A7 Sportback reached 250 km/h (155mph).

With this engine, the A7 returns 13.7-liter/100 km (18 mpg) in the city, 8.4-liter/100 km (28 mpg) on the highway, and 10.6-liter/100 km (22 mpg) combined.

Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, leather seating surfaces, heated front seats with driver lumbar support, Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, SIRIUS satellite radio, music player connection and Bluetooth telephone, an automatic power tailgate, 3-zone automatic climate control and automatic headlights with light/rain sensors.
