Zetland, May 15, 2020 – Audi Australia is raising the bar with instinctive performance and design technologies, announcing the arrival of the all-new Audi S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback. Unique innovations create sharpened performance capabilities with an Electric-Powered Compressor (EPC), paired to a 2.9-litre, twin-turbocharged TFSI V6 engine that assists to build turbo boost pressure, sharpen throttle response and significantly reduce turbo lag.

The all-new Audi S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback offer crushing performance with a powerful 2.9 litre bi-turbo TFSI V6 engine that is 26 kg lighter than the V8 engine of the previous generation. The new S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback generate 331 kW and 600 Nm of torque from as little as 1900 rpm, catapulting the S6 from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds (4.6sec for the S7).  

At the heart of the all-new Audi S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback is a highly responsive and progressively engineered electric powered compressor (EPC), mated to a 48-volt main electrical system (MHEV) to maximise performance and significantly reduce fuel consumption.  

To further harness engine performance, both S models are equipped with a smooth shifting eight-speed tiptronic power transmission, supported by the legendary Audi quattro all-wheel-drive technology. The S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback feature progressive steering and wheel-selective torque control as standard, creating an even more sporty, agile and stable handling on the road. New adaptive air suspension technology also comes standard, offering versatility with the ability to adjust the height of the vehicle at different levels for varying strengths across modern terrains. In its standard setting, the ride height of the S6 Sedan is 20mm lower in comparison to the A6 Sedan, and it can be lowered an additional 10mm during dynamic mode, or raised by up to 20mm.  

"The all-new Audi S6 and S7 Sportback offer an alluring mix of striking design, amazing dynamics and effortless comfort," said Shawn Ticehurst, Product Planning Director of Audi Australia.  

"After strengthening the positioning of our existing S models in 2019, the new S6, S7, SQ7 and SQ8 start the most exciting phase for us: bringing the largest, most highly equipped, performance vehicle range in our history to Australia."  

The all-new Audi S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback are characterised by their distinctively sporty exterior design, offering 21-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels with a sleek, black exterior styling package (with black exterior mirrors) as standard. The S trim styling, alongside the emphatic bumper with large air intakes compliment the high-definition Matrix LED headlights, which also feature as standard on both models, as well as power assisted door closure and privacy glass. To further enhance the design credentials of the S6 Sedan, quad tailpipes, red brake callipers and a boot lid spoiler feature as standard.  

The luxuriously appointed sports interior of the new S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback offers exceptional comfort with a generous amount of space for passengers. The rear seats can be split 40:20:40 and for the first time, the S7 Sportback boasts five-seat capacity. Standard features include panoramic sunroof, metallic paint, leather package interior (centre console, dashboard, door rails armrests) in fine Nappa, colour interior ambient lighting package, control buttons in black gloss with haptic feedback and an air quality package, inclusive of two fragrances and air ionisation that radiates fresh air scents throughout the cabin.  

Pioneering technology defines the all-new Audi S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback, which come equipped with exceptional levels of connectivity and infotainment as standard. The innovative Audi connect plus technology creates a more intuitive driving experience, further enhanced with MMI navigation plus with MMI touch response and 10.1" and 8.6" touch screens with acoustic feedback. Both models also come standard with an Audi virtual cockpit, wireless Apple Carplay, Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System, Audi phone box light (wireless charging for mobile phones) and two rear USB outlets for convenience.  

The all-new Audi S6 Sedan and S7 Sportback have both been awarded a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, and are equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety assistance systems, with highlights including:

• Adaptive cruise assist with Stop&Go and traffic jam assist
• 360 degree cameras with kerb view function
• Audi pre-sense front
• Audi side assist with cross traffic assist
• Collision avoidance assist and turn assist
