2020 Audi S6 and S7 pricing revealed
New engine and technology for Audi’s executive performance pairingAudi Australia has announced pricing and specification details for the 2020 Audi S6 sedan and Audi S7 Sportback.
Recipients of a new Porsche-designed 2.9-litre twin-turbo petrol V6, technology and safety, the upgraded Audi S6 and Audi S7 arrive in showrooms this month priced from $149,900 and $159,500 plus on-road costs respectively.
According to Audi, those prices represent savings in the order of $20,000 on their predecessors, while also delivering more than $20,000 in additional equipment.
Under the bonnet, the 2020 S6 and S7 score a new V6 developing 331kW/600Nm (the same power but 50Nm less torque than the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V8 it replaces), mated standard to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
If the numbers sound familiar, that’s because the petrol six is an evolution of that used in the Audi RS 4 Avant and RS 5 Coupe and Sportback, paired in this application with an electric compressor designed to mitigate turbo lag.
As such, the Audi S6 can cover the 0-100km/h dash in a claimed 4.5 seconds, while the slightly larger and heavier S7 takes 4.6 seconds.
The electric compressor runs off a 48V mild-hybrid electric system that complements the petrol engine with up to 6kW/60Nm, and facilitates emissions-free coasting between 55-160km/h for up to 40 seconds at a time while also delivering a claimed fuel consumption average of 8.4L/100km.
Supporting their punchy V6 engines, the Audi S6 and Audi S7 come equipped standard with 21-inch wheels, 400mm front-350mm rear discs clamped by red callipers, an S body kit and metallic paintwork.
There’s also soft-close doors, an electric boot/tailgate, privacy glass, panoramic sunroof and a black exterior styling package as standard.
Inside, the S6 and S7 adopt Audi’s latest infotainment interface comprising a 10.1-inch and 8.6-inch touch-screens within the centre fascia, plus a 12.3-inch digital virtual cockpit display in the instrument cluster.
Both models gets Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, digital radio and a 705W Bang & Olufsen sound system, plus wireless phone charging, head-up display, keyless entry and start, power adjustable front sports seats with seat heating, four-zone climate control and Valcona leather upholstery with contrasting diamond pattern stitching.
On the safety front, the latest Audi S6 and S7 earn a five-star ANCAP rating, with full airbag coverage, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep and steering assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, driver attention alert, hill start assist, tyre pressure monitoring and 360-degree camera with front and rear parking sensors.
As with all Audis, optional equipment packages abound for both the S6 and S7. A $7700 Dynamic Package adds variable-ratio power steering, a limited-slip rear differential and four-wheel steering.
Announcing pricing for the S6 and S7 this week, Audi Australia ruled out the short-term prospect of offering the S6 Avant wagon.
