The two rear lights with their precise graphics and the continuous light strip lend the new A6 Sedan a sense of presence, as does the vertical brake light. The special shape of the notchback also contributes significantly to the vehicle’s outstanding aerodynamics. The sharp curvature of the tailgate, together with the hollow groove in front of it, creates an optimal stall. In combination with the large, wide diffuser, the result is an ideal balance between lift at the rear axle and drag, which enhances driving dynamics. With the optional adaptive air suspension, the A6 Sedan perfects the synthesis of sportiness and comfort. As well as regulating body height and shock absorption, this air suspension system also offers a further advantage in aerodynamics. Compared to the standard suspension, the vehicle is 20 millimeters (0.79 in) lower in normal mode. In dynamic mode, the ride height is lowered by another 10 millimeters (0.39 in) for a sporty driving feel. To reduce drag, the A6 Sedan uses the low level even at high speeds in balanced and efficiency modes. The optional all-wheel steering makes for agile handling and precise maneuvering. Coupled with the stiffer progressive steering, there is a significantly improved and more direct steering response with increased feedback from the road. At low speeds, the all-wheel steering turns the rear wheels up to five degrees in the opposite direction to the front wheels, improving maneuverability in city traffic and tight bends. At medium and higher speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction, resulting in stable and even more precise handling. The drives with mild‑hybrid technology MHEV plus play a major role in the outstanding driving experience.
They include circular wheel arches over traditional quattro fenders and the reinterpretation of the familiar Singleframe with the new AUDI Light Frame. The exterior balances minimalist elegance with dynamic emotion, achieved through assertive lighting graphics, rounded wheel arches, and a confident Sportback silhouette that commands the road. The front and rear design is radically new: minimalist in form, and maximalist in function. Featuring a futuristic grille, pronounced shoulders, and a digital surface loop complemented by illuminated logos at the front and rear, the E5 is designed to leave an impression. A sleek black loop circles the front and the rear, seamlessly combining all functional areas – lights, sensors, air curtains, radar, and spoilers – into one cohesive, expressive feature. True to Audi’s design heritage, aerodynamics shapes the AUDI E5 Sportback’s exterior. Elements like the floating front spoiler, a rear wing, and air curtains are elegantly integrated, optimizing efficiency without compromising aesthetics. Lighting design: where technology meets emotion Emphasizing the car’s minimalist ethos, the slim headlights and functional modules are invisibly integrated in the sleek black loop. Further balancing subtlety and spectacle, position lights remain hidden when inactive, only providing a mesmerizing glow. When activated, more than 1,000 individual light units integrate triangular light sources to form the distinctive AUDI Light Frame – a signature element that blends warmth with engineering precision. In addition to its distinctive lighting design, the AUDI E5 Sportback features Audi’s signature Matrix LED headlight technology. With precise beam control and intelligent zonal illumination, it enhances nighttime driving safety and comfort – maximizing vision while preventing glare for other drivers. Drivers can choose from a range of welcome animations, each crafted to suit different tastes.

Traffic light information: Audi on the green phase
Both models demonstrate a strong presence thanks to the striking rear lights, wide light strip, and Audi rings positioned high up. The new Audi A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro and the Audi A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro are both available in two power levels. The vehicles are powered by a 2.0 TFSI engine with an output of 185 kW (252 PS) and an electric motor that delivers up to 105 kW. In the versions with 270 kW and 500 Nm of torque12, the Avant and Sedan can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds.
Progressive sportiness: the exterior design The exterior design of the new A7 Sportback emphatically embodies Audi’s new, progressive design language focused on large surfaces, sharp edges and alternating light and shadows. The wide, low Singleframe grille and prominent air inlets express the dynamic character of the Gran Turismo at first glance. With the two optional headlight variants, twelve separate horizontal lighting strips create the lighting signature. Topping the line are the HD Matrix LED headlights with Audi laser light, which can be recognized by the blue marker in the reflector. Viewed from the side, pronounced contours emphasize the large wheels –a reference to Audi’s quattro genes. The sharply dropping roof line dominates the silhouette. The large coupé is 4.97 meters (16.3 ft) long and 1.91 meters (6.3 ft) wide, but just 1.42 meters (4.7 ft) high. Its rear is tapered like a yacht. A spoiler integrated into the long luggage compartment lid extends electrically at 120 km/h (74.6 mph). A light strip connects the rear lights, whose outer rear lights comprise 13 segments each. When the doors are unlocked or closed, dynamic lighting animations in the rear lights and headlights showcase the Audi A7. Reduction as a stylistic device: the interior design The design language in the interior of the new Audi A7 Sportback is reduced and clean. The horizontal lines and sleek instrument panel convey a feeling of airy spaciousness. The center console is inclined toward the driver and underscores the Gran Turismo’s sporty character. In the interior, the cockpit architecture and the MMI monitor merge to form a homogeneous surface. Most vehicle functions can be controlled via two displays in a black-panel look. The upper display is integrated almost invisibly into the dashboard. The choice of colors, upholstery materials, inlays and interior lighting fit perfectly into the futuristic lounge atmosphere.
The exterior reflects the vehicle’s sporty, elegant character and gives the A6 Avant a striking presence with new digital lighting technology. The model also impresses with its intuitive and systematically user-oriented operating and infotainment concept with Audi MMI panoramic display and front passenger display.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner: “We are writing the next chapter in our Avant history: The new Audi A6 unites an elegant and dynamic design with exceptional aerodynamics. Efficient yet high‑performance drive systems and cutting-edge suspension technology combine sportiness with a high level of comfort, making traveling in the A6 a first-class experience.” With this model, the company is also continuing its major product initiative that began in 2024. The modernization and rejuvenation of the product portfolio is part of the Audi Agenda, with which Audi is positioning itself for the future in the face of intensified competition. “With the A6, we are now renewing an important model series,” said Döllner. The perfect interplay: design and aerodynamics With its reduced design language, the A6 Avant conveys a functional and timeless character. This is reflected in both its design and the aerodynamics, which boasts a drag coefficient of 0.25 – the best value of a combustion-engine Avant at Audi. In addition to the large air curtains and controllable cool-air intakes at the front, the striking roof spoiler and aerodynamic panels on the sides of the rear window are the main contributors to this achievement in aerodynamics. The sporty rear with eye-catching diffuser embodies typical Avant characteristics. Paired with the quattro blisters powerfully emerging from the shoulder area and the wide track, the rear accentuates the model’s dynamic design. At the same time, its long wheelbase and extended hood embody elegance and round off the perfect proportions of the A6 Avant.

If the finger pushes so hard that it triggers the function, the icon or list entry lights up briefly. Many symbols are also configured with long-touch and long-push functions. Wiping, scrolling and multifinger gestures are also supported. Text entry on the lower supply detects not only entire words, but also letters drawn over top of each other and confirms this with acoustic feedback. Both displays present the images and graphics on a black background. The graphical user interface has been deliberately reduced so that information can be understood particularly quickly. A few pictographs are subtly animated. The menu structure is lean and intuitively understandable. On the lower display, the start screen can be configured according to your personal preferences. Audi connect content is no longer in a separate area, but in the respective function menus. MMI search is based on free text input. If the driver is looking for a restaurant, for example, the system offers a hit list after just a few letters have been entered. The optional Audi virtual cockpit (together with MMI navigation plus) sport the same look. The digital instrument cluster measures 12.3 inches in diagonal and offers full HD resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels. The driver can choose between two interfaces – the classic view and infotainment mode. Operation is via the buttons and rollers on the multifunction steering wheel. A head-up display, which projects important information as symbols and digits onto the windshield, is also available. The image window for this – 22 x 8 centimeters (8.7 x 3.1 in) is in the driver’s direct field of view. Voice control is another function available with MMI navigation and above. It is designed as natural language voice control. This makes the A7 an intelligent conversationalist and travel companion. The user can speak freely for the most part. The system asks questions, if necessary, allows corrections and additions, and offers selection options.
The standard ambient lighting package and the multi-color contour/ambient lighting package illuminate the interior of the RS Q3** and RS Q3 Sportback** when it is dark. The architecture of the instrument panel with the MMI touch display and the Audi virtual cockpit in the RS design harmonizes perfectly with the new operating concept. MMI navigation plus, the top-of-the-line system in the infotainment program, offers the same variety of functions as in the large Audi models. Always up to date: Infotainment and Audi connect Together with MMI navigation plus, the online services of Audi connect are made available on board at LTE Advanced speed via a permanently installed SIM card. This includes, for example, online traffic information and the online points of interest service, which complements route guidance with photos, opening hours, and user evaluations. Thanks to the inter-connectivity of the Audi fleet, the RS Q3** and RS Q3 Sportback** receive and provide information about parking spaces on the roadside, hazard areas, and speed limits, which are detected via the on-board camera and vehicle sensors. Equipped for all situations: the assist systems The new RS Q3** and the new RS Q3 Sportback** are equipped with numerous standard comfort and safety systems, including the parking system plus as well as lane departure and lane change warnings. The standard scope in Germany also includes Audi pre sense front as well as the protective measures provided by Audi pre sense basic. The adaptive cruise assist is a highlight among the optional systems. It takes the burden off the driver during longitudinal and lateral guidance. Ultra-modern systems such as the 360 degree cameras offer assistance with parking and maneuvering. They show the direct surroundings of the car on the MMI display and allow the driver to choose from several perspectives.
