30 March 2015 www.womanthismonth.com The spacious five-door coupe is now even more powerful and attractive – thanks to new engine configurations, transmissions, headlights, taillights and infotainment systems. This cool and classy model combines the emotional appeal and sportiness of a coupe with the comfort of a sedan and the functional benefits of an Avant, its makers say. “The Audi A7 continues to set new standards in automotive design, just as it did when it was first launched back in 2010. The updated model has all the elements that make it one of the most unique luxury sedans on the road, with the addition of an improved range of standard options and attractive sporty enhancements,” says Audi Bahrain dealer principal, Geetan Jessen. Looks matter, regardless of what people say, and this model has had a facelift that any of the Kardashians would be proud of. The most striking changes are to the single frame grille, bumpers, tailpipes and headlights. LED technology is now standard and, upon request, Audi can supply Matrix LED headlights. Included among the extensive range of standard options are: electric sunroof, keyless entry and go, parking sensors with rear view camera and individual contour seats with Valcona leather to name but a few. There are also a number of options, including: dynamic steering, two sport suspension versions and adaptive air suspension. The standard MMI navigation plus system with MMI touch can also be supplemented as an option with a head up display that projects important information onto the windscreen. The body of the new model consists primarily of aluminium and high-tech steel grades. It is lightweight and designed for maximum comfort in terms of noise. The cargo space under the long, electrically driven boot lid has a base capacity of 535 litres. When the rear seat backs are folded down it grows to 1,390 litres, also a bit like a Kardashian. Inside is a luxurious affair and the new interior materials, including the aluminium/ Beaufort walnut inlay and standard Valcona leather, give an impressive finish. The colour palette has been redesigned, offering six colour options, even for the seats. This model is available with a choice of three powerful engines: two TFSI and one FSI, with power ratings ranging from 220bhp to 333bhp. The top of the range 4.0 TFSI, available in the Audi S7 and Audi RS 7, deliver 450bhp and 560bhp respectively. The infotainment is equally impressive. The standard MMI navigation plus system with MMI touch utilises the latest generation of the modular infotainment system; its highlight is a powerful graphics processor from Nvidia. Touchpad control lets the driver scroll and zoom in lists and maps. The assistance systems – including adaptive cruise control with ‘stop & go function’, the further improved night vision assistant and the Audi Pre Sense safety system – are also state-of-the-art. Meanwhile, Audi side assist and active lane assist work closely together to make lane changes even safer. Visit the Audi Centre Bahrain showroom in Sitra or call 17 459-933.
