2019 Audi A7 Styling Leaked Through Scale Model

The all-new 2019 Audi A7 has leaked online in a rather unconventional manner – through a scale model. 

The image of the model was originally discovered by Dutch automotive enthusiast site AutoWeek.nl. While not of the next-generation A7 itself, the photo reveals what the new A7 will look like. Not surprisingly, the design is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, retaining the same fastback shape as the current A7 but implementing the widened, single-frame grille of the new Audi A8.

While not much is known about the new A7, the recently unveiled A8 gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect. It should arrive with Audi’s SAE Level 3 autonomous driving system with traffic jam assist, which debuted on the A8. We’re also expecting Audi’s 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged gas V6 to be offered from launch, which makes 333 horsepower in the A8, along with its 450 horsepower twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. A hybrid with a 48-volt electric drive system should also be available.

We’re expecting the 2019 Audi A7 to make its official debut at either the Los Angeles Auto Show in late November or the 2018 Detroit Auto Show in January.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
