Audi’s plan to reserve even numbers for EVs means the combustion A6’s replacement switches to A7 badges
Audi ’s new A7 has been spied testing, the pictures appearing to confirm that it’s a sedan, not a liftback The new A7 is the ICE-powered replacement for the current combustion A6. Audi hasn’t killed the A6 badge entirely; it will return on a midsize electric wagon and liftback duo. Audi is switching its badges around to help buyers more easily navigate combustion and EV offerings.
Audi hasn’t commented on the body styles as the A7 hasn't yet been launched. Our hunch is that the automaker’s market research found that combustion buyers have more conservative powertrain preferences matched by equally traditional design tastes. The latest BMW 5-Series and Mercedes E-Class are both three-box sedans. Which isn’t to say that the A7 looks dull.
