With the 2015 Geneva Auto Show about a week away, Audi has released official photos of its Prologue Avant concept. Audi previously had shown off some teaser sketches in the second week of February 2015, but now we have more photos and more details to share.
Audi calls it a ‘design with dynamic elegance and the latest high end technologies’. Back in November 2014, Audi showed off its Prologue concept at the LA Motor Show and this version expands on what that concept offered. The length has grown to just over 5 metres and its almost 2 metres wide.
Being an Audi and being a concept, you can bet your money the interior is top dollar. Audi claims the dashboard consists of three touch displays and the driver + three passengers have access to OLED display units. There are slim, detachable OLED displays in the rear and these are similar to the new Audi tablet which does duty in the new Audi Q7.
Powering this concept is an engine which Audi claims is almost ready for mainstream production. This powerplant is a plug-in hybrid from the q7 e-tron quattro pushing out 335 kW and 750 Nm from a combination of a 3.0-litre TDI and an electric motor. Sprint time is claimed to be 5.1 seconds, but importantly, Audi is claiming a pure electric range of 54km. Other engineering tech included is adaptive air suspension, Matrix laser headlights and all-wheel drive steering.
I think we’ll see many of the styling cues from thePrologue Avant Concept in future generations of Audi A6, A7 and A8.
