Audi A7 Sportback

The Audi A7 Sportback facelift will arrive in Malaysia soon, as revealed by the brand's local website. The updated hatchback-cum-coupe was unveiled in May last year, while the current pre-facelift model has been on sale here since October 2011 for RM599,000.

As is the norm for Audis, the A7's mid-life update mainly refreshes the car's exterior looks. A six-point grille, slimmer headlamps (LEDs as standard) and taillamps with new graphics round off the facelift, along with minor trim changes on the inside.

Audi's Malaysian website also mentions an uprated 3.0 litre V6 TFSI engine – now with 333 hp, up from the current car's 310 hp. Peak torque stays as before, at 440 Nm. The new version will get to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds through its quattro all-wheel drive system.

We'll have a more detailed update on the car's specifications once they are available.
