5 Audi Models to Look Out for in 2017
With 2017 just around the corner, carmakers are working furiously to get their latest models ready for public consumption. As public demand for power and efficiency rises, Audi is leading the pack with powerful, well-designed and increasingly efficient cars that got well-deserved attention at Paris Motor Show in 2016. With saloons, cabriolets, SUVs and more on the cards for the German manufacturer, they’re eager to meet the needs of everyone they possibly can.
Here's the Audi cars we're most looking forward to in the new year.
This tricked out saloon should be available to order soon, and our customers are already desperate to get their hands on one. Keep an eye out for more information.
Need something a bit sportier? The Audi S5 Cabriolet is also available to order with early 2017 delivery, which will give you extra engine power and many features that are popular in Audi’s S models.
Our customers are already ordering the A5 Coupé and S5 Coupé – as well as the A5 Sportback and S5 Sportback variants – and there’s plenty of interest for the Cabriolet version.
We already have customers placing orders on the new Audi Q5 with deliveries expected early 2017. To see our latest offers on the new shape Audi Q5, click here.
Audi are planning to use 2017 to refresh their luxury vehicles with a new, dramatic design. Firstly, they will reveal the design of the Audi A8 around Autumn, closely followed by the Audi A7. Although the Audi A6 will also follow this design trend, it might be the only one to be released in 2018, but we’re still hoping for a late 2017 unveiling of the new design. The “dramatically sportier” look is what Audi is hoping will help the A6 to better compete with the likes of the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series.
The Audi A6 is expected to have a longer wheelbase and wider body that doesn’t just give it a sporty shape, but also a spacious interior and large boot space.
With a new A6 Saloon and A6 Avant expected to be announced simultaneously, this new car will be the third punch in the A8, A7, A6 offensive that’s expected to be revealed throughout 2017.
Although we’ve already mentioned the Audi A8 above, it’s not the design of this car that makes it a hot choice for 2017. The new A8 is eagerly anticipated to be Audi’s first production car with automated driving technology. The era of automated driving is being hailed as a success story for the commuting business-person by Audi. They suggest that the average commuter can expect to regain one hour per day – “the twenty-fifth hour” – thanks to futuristic automated driving technology.
Audi already have test models on the roads in the form of a modified A7, but it would make sense for the technology to first arrive in the top-of-the-range Audi A8 as it likely to be picked up by Executives and CEOs looking to claw back as much time as they possibly can.
Expect Audi to make some big announcements with regards to electric vehicles in 2017 as they have just announced that they are teaming up with Volkswagen, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Daimler and Ford to jointly bring super-fast, high-power charging points to long distance travel routes in Europe. This is a big commitment that solidifies Audi’s stance on creating electric vehicles, and this will definitely serve to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles for the carmaker.
