Audi Malaysia today announced the availability of new variants of the Audi A6 business sedan and the Audi A7 Sportback five-door coupé, both with a high performance 2.0 litre four-cylinder, inline petrol engine coupled with Audi’s quattro permanent all-wheel drive.
The executive Audi A6 2.0 TFSI quattro slots in between the entry-point Audi A6 1.8 TFSI and the range-topping Audi A6 3.0 TFSI quattro. It looks almost identical with its larger-engined variant with the only exception beings its 18-inch 10-spoke V-design alloy wheels.
The Audi A7 2.0 TFSI quattro on the other hand, is also identical to the Audi A7 3-litre variant, characterised by its long bonnet, muscular waistline and sloping roofline.
Under the hood, both vehicles are propelled by a 2 litre, 4-cylinder, in-line petrol engine with direct fuel injection and exhaust gas turbocharging that develops a total output of 252 hp and a maximum torque of 370 Nm between the range of 1,600 and 4,500 rpm. This engine is then mated with a 7-speed S tronic transmission and Audi’s quattro permanent all-wheel drive to allow the sedan to accomplish the century sprint in just 6.5 seconds, while the five-door coupe dashes from 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.
