Very like their German colleagues and rivals at Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi is also heading right into a busy yr riddled with full overhauls and mid-cycle facelifts across its complete vary. 2019 Audi fashions ought to assist the model establish a stronger foothold within the premium car market, especially since 2017 didn抰 exactly fulfill their expectations. While all other German premium brands have recorded a powerful single-digit increase in international sales for 2017, the Volkswagen Group抯 division recorded a marginal increase of 0.6 percent. Their international gross sales grew from 1,871,350 models in 2016 to 1,878,one hundred in 2017. U.S. Audi sales, just with a bit more vigor. The Germans have sold 210,213 models throughout 2016 and 226,511 models during 2017 in the U.S., which is a rise of 7.75 p.c. The Germans are hoping to surpass the 2 million models threshold by 2020 (which their major rivals have already finished) and MY 2019 will probably be instrumental in that push.
The all-new fifth-era Audi A6 is probably the most marketed new Audi vehicles for 2019. The 2019 Audi A6 is a vanguard of the fifth era that抯 presupposed to outline a brand new design language for the company. Although, to be trustworthy, we don抰 actually see anything revolutionary here. We have been able to discern that since the government car抯 presentation already happened. The following-gen A6 has made its world debut on the 2018 Geneva motor present, whereas its American debut took place on the 2018 New York auto show. Despite being constructed on the new MLB Evo structure, the new A6 retains its predecessor抯 dimensions, kind of. The automotive is just 0.5 inches (or much less) larger in size, width, and top. The U.S. market specs reveal just one obtainable engine at the launch. Said powerplant can be a 3.0L turbocharged V6 capable of producing 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque paired with a 7-speed computerized. A smaller 2.0L turbo four should also join the lineup by the time the 2019 A6 will get into manufacturing, whereas different options are still unconfirmed.
What the Germans did affirm, is the actual fact the new A6 now sports a 48-volt mild hybrid system that ought to help save some gasoline in the long run. The remainder will possible be revealed as we zero-in on its market launch date later this year. Instead of redesigning the A5 and S5 line of coupes and convertibles which have been available on the market since 2016, the Germans have decided to offer us something new. Enter the Audi RS5 Sportback - a excessive-efficiency 4-door fastback member of the family. The RS5 Sportback may not be a run-of-the-mill hatchback, but it surely still places even the most popular of them to shame by delivering 444 horsepower and 443 pound-ft of twist because of a Porsche Panamera-sourced 2.9L twin-turbo V6 engine. 75,000. The brand new Audi RS5 Sportback ought to be capable to hit 60 mph from a standstill in simply 3.6 seconds and max out at 174 mph if fitted with the non-compulsory Dynamic Plus package deal. Every mannequin comes with an 8-velocity computerized transmission and the Quattro all-wheel drive system. The RS5 doesn抰 differ that much from its 4-door S5 sportback and 2-door Rs5 Coupe donors with whom it shares chassis and powertrain respectively.
It抯 similar with design as the new model only differs in minor exterior details in comparison with the much less powerful S5 fastback. These details include a barely wider grille, 1.2 inches of extra width thanks to extra pronounced wheel arches, and various blacked-out elements across the body. Compared to the coupe, then again, it gains 2.Four inches in wheelbase and 1.1-inch of roofline. And, after all, an additional set of doorways. Although the compact Q3 made its world debut way back in 2011, the U.S.-spec mannequin was revealed during MY 2015 at the identical time the overseas fashions received their mid-cycle update. MY 2019 is lastly bringing an extended-awaited makeover because the second-era Q3 has already been spotted testing a number of instances. The powertrain lineup will seemingly be carried over which principally means the U.S.-spec models shall be restricted to a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder with around 200 horsepower.
