Audi launches Q7 and A6 Design Edition celebrating 10 years in India

German carmaker Audi is celebrating 10 years in India this year. On this occasion, the company on Thursday announced the launch of special versions of the Audi Q7 SUV and Audi A6 sedan, which have been priced at Rs 81.99 lakh and Rs 56.78 lakh (All India ex-showroom).

Both cars get cosmetic additions as well as a few added features both on the inside and outside. The company has said that models will be sold only in limited numbers. 

The new Audi Q7 Design Edition features Audi Smartphone Interface, full paint finish with smoked tail lamps, exhaust trims in gloss black, running boards, 20-inch cast aluminum alloy wheels with a 5-spoke star design, and door puddle projection lamps with Audi logo in the front and Quattro logo in the rear. The Design Edition for the Q7 is offered with the 45 TDI (3.0 TDI) engine that churns out 252PS of power and 600Nm of torque.

The Audi A6 Design Edition also gets the Audi Smartphone Interface, rear seat entertainment for both passengers, door puddle projection lamps with Audi logo in all four doors, and 19-inch cast aluminium alloy wheels in 5-spoke semi-V design. This limited edition of the Audi A6 is only available with the2-litre TDI engine option, generating 192PS.

The Audi A6 is packed with a 2.0-litre diesel engine generating 192.6PS of maximum power and a peak torque of 400 Nm. Mated to a seven-speed S Tronic transmission, it sprints from naught to 100kmph in 8.4 seconds.  

The Q7 SUV is equipped with the powerful 3.0-litre motor, which musters 252.5PS of max power and generates a mammoth 600Nm of peak torque. Covering the 0-100kmph mark in a mere 7.1 seconds, it is definitely one hell of a performer.

The Audi Q7 rivals the likes of the Mercedes GLS and the Volvo XC90 whilst the Audi A6 sedan takes on the likes of newer rivals such as the Mercedes E-class, the Volvo S90, the BMW 5-series and the Jaguar XF. Audi is readying the next-gen A6 sedan, which is likely to see a global debut sometime in near future.
