Audi reveals new coupe

Audi has revealed details of its new A7 Sportback, its largest coupe yet and set to go on sale early next year.

The 5-door car has an electrically operated hatch, and fills out the space above the A5 Sportback. Its positioning against the saloon models is reflected in its grille being similar to that in the large A8.

The car will come with two petrol and two diesel V6 engines at launch, beginning with a 201hp 3.0 TDI with CO2 emissions of 138g/km. The top-end TFSI unit has 297hp and 190g/km, along with a 0-100km/h of around six seconds.

No Irish launch date or prices have yet been released.
