Welcome back to another video from Dilawri, Canada's largest automotive group.

I'm Sharnelle and today I'll be taking you through some of the features of the 2019 Audi

A7.

This second generation of this executive sedan introduces a whole new world of technology,

like Audi's new two-screen infotainment system and other advanced safety features.

Here in Canada, we get two trims: the Progressiv and the Technik.

Today we have the Technik.

Keep watching for an overview of this sedan that seems to so perfectly blend sportiness

and luxuriousness.

As well, don't forget to give us a thumbs up and to subscribe to see more videos like

this from Dilawri.

The A7 has beautiful lines and such an elegant Sportback shape.

The S line Sport Package adds S line bumpers and it also adds S line wheels.

These are the upgraded 21"s.

Up front, you'll notice a bigger grille than its predecessor, giving it even more road

presence.

The A7 has LED lights and it's equipped to have Matrix LED lights too.

This feature is not yet available in the North American market but we're hoping that it will

it will be soon because it is so useful.

The high-beam unit is made up of many individual segments that can mask oncoming vehicles so

you don't have to turn your high beams on and off for approaching cars—it's almost

like your high beams can bend around oncoming traffic so you can still see but you won't

blind other drivers.

As well, Audi moved the side mirrors from the A-pillar to just below the window frame.

This really helps with visibility so that was a really smart design move.

The A7 also has a rear spoiler that you wouldn't notice because it's hidden so nicely, but

it does pop up at high speeds.

You can also lower or raise it manually.

Open up the liftgate and you have access to 535L of cargo space, or close to 1,400L with

the seats folded down (1,390 L).

The A7 is so spacious back here and that's one of the reasons why this car has been so

popular.

The A7 has a 3.0L V6 making 335 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque.

Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission.

The A7, like some of the other new vehicles from Audi, also has a mild hybrid system that

assists with better fuel economy.

The A7 gets 10.7L/100 KM city, 8.2L/100KM highway, and 9.6L/100KM combined.

Audi's interiors never fail to impress us with the high-quality materials and luxuriousness.

The front seats are heated and ventilated and the rear seats are heated.

You can adjust temperature settings in the rear using the digital display.

Behind the heated three-spoke leather steering wheel is one of our favourite features in

Audi vehicles: the virtual cockpit.

You can customize the display and also look at information like contacts, media, night

vision (if equipped), consumption, and navigation.

The A7 also has a head-up display.

In the centre stack is where you'll find the two-screen infotainment system Audi is starting

to roll out with their newer vehicles.

The 10.1" upper screen is for vehicle settings, infotainment, and navigation, while the lower

8.6" screen is for climate settings and inputting information for MMI Navigation Plus.

The A7 has the Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System but the Advanced version is available.

And, this A7 has the Audi phonebox with wireless charging.

When you put a compatible smartphone here, it can be operated with the infotainment system,

steering wheel, or by voice control.

You can also use this to add an additional Bluetooth device.

One of our favourite safety features is the available Night Vision Assistant that this

A7 has.

There's a camera behind the front badge that has thermal imaging technology and what it

can do is turn information into a black and white visual that you'll then see on the

virtual cockpit.

The system can look as far ahead as 300 m. for pedestrians.

Additionally, Audi pre-sense city is standard but the Driver Assistance Package adds features

like: traffic sign recognition, Audi active lane assist and cruise assist, turn assist,

predictive efficiency assist, traffic congestion assist, and emergency assist.

This also has a 360-degree camera.

The A7 offers a smooth ride, made even more comfortable with an adaptive air suspension.

If you're more inclined to enjoy a sportier ride, the S line Sport Package adds a sport

suspension.

The A7 is already quite sporty with lots of torque and great handling.

It's pretty low to the ground so you really don't notice that the vehicle is long.

Audi does offer the Dynamic Package which adds four-wheel steering which helps to make

the car even more agile than it already is by allowing the wheels to turn up to 5 degrees.

We explained that feature briefly in our A8 L video so be sure to check that out.

The A7 is one of the sleekest sedans Audi has to offer.

It's paired with some incredible tech and if you're looking for a car that's classy

but has plenty of usable space, the A7 is a solid option for you.

Take it for a test drive at your nearest Dilawri dealership.

Audi RS2 Avant - Duration: 5:30.

The Audi RS2 Avant, usually known as Audi 80 RS2, was a limited edition, high-performance Audi five-door, five-seat estate car (station wagon), manufactured from March 1994 to July 1995.

Collaboratively designed as a joint venture between Audi AG and Porsche and built on Audi's 80 Avant, designated internally as P1 (instead of B4/8C that it was based on).

Although it was not widely exported outside of Europe, except for a few to Hong Kong, South Africa, Brazil and New Zealand,

the RS2 has amassed an impressive cult following worldwide, and it is often regarded as being the vehicle that finally firmly established Audi as a producer of practical high-performance vehicles:

its estate body, seating for five persons, and Audi's 'trademark' quattro permanent four-wheel-drive system as standard made it usable as a comfortable daily driver, even in poor weather conditions.

It was powered by a modified version of their 2,226 cc (2.2 L; 135.8 cu in) inline 5 DOHC 4 valves/cylinder 20 valves total turbocharged petrol engine (parts code prefix: 034, identification code: ADU).

This internal combustion engine produced a motive power output of 315 PS (311 bhp; 232 kW) @ 6,500 rpm and 410 N⋅m (302 lb⋅ft) @ 3000 rpm of torque.

Although much of the car's underpinnings were manufactured by Audi, assembly was handled by Porsche at their Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany,

which had become available after discontinuation of the Mercedes-Benz 500E, which Porsche had manufactured there under contract.

The Rossle-Bau plant also produced the famous Porsche 959.

Like the rest of the vehicle, the RS2's five-cylinder engine was based on a unit that Audi already produced, although Porsche considerably modified the engine;

the standard KKK turbocharger was switched for a larger unit, along with a heavy-duty intercooler and higher flow fuel injectors, a newly designed camshaft, a more efficient induction system,

and a low-pressure exhaust system replaced the standard fare; a specially modified URS4/URS6 Bosch-supplied engine management system (ECU) controlled the engine.

With so much power available, the RS2 could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.8 seconds, and achieve a maximum speed of 262 km/h (163 mph) (electronically restricted), despite weighing over 1,600 kg (3,500 lb).

In a road test conducted in 1995, British car magazine Autocar timed the RS2 from 0 to 30 mph (48 km/h) at just 1.5 seconds,

which they confirmed was faster than both the McLaren F1 road car, and also Jacques Villeneuve's Formula One car of that time.

A six-speed manual gearbox (parts code prefix: 01E, identification code: CRB) (gear ratios - 1st: 3.500, 2nd: 1.889, 3rd: 1.320, 4th: 1.034, 5th: 0.857, 6th: 0.711) was the only transmission choice.

Audi's Torsen-based 'trademark' quattro permanent four-wheel drive system was standard.

Front and rear final drive units contained a conventional 'open' differential, and have a ratio of 4.111, although the rear (parts code prefix: 01H, identification code: AZE) also has an electro-mechanical diff lock.

Porsche-designed braking and suspension systems replaced the standard Audi 80 equipment, however, the Bosch Anti-lock braking system (ABS) was retained.

The front brakes feature either 304 millimetres (11.97 in) in diameter by 32 mm (1.260 in) thick radially ventilated disc brakes, and use Brembo four-opposed piston fixed calipers,

or a 'modified' option of larger discs (which will only fit under a 17" wheel) of 322 mm (12.68 in) by 32 mm (1.260 in), with uprated brake pads.

The rears featured 299 mm (11.77 in) by 24 mm (0.945 in) radially vented discs, again with Brembo four-piston calipers,

and the 'modified' option included identical sized discs, but merely included cross-drilling, along with uprated pads.

The hand brake worked on the rears, and consisted of a cable operated 'drum in disc' system.

40 millimetres (1.6 in) lower than a standard 80 Avant, the suspension and braking upgrades combined to give the RS2 the handling and braking capabilities of a high-end sports car; 7.0Jx17 inch Porsche 'Cup' wheels,

and high-performance 245/40 ZR17 Dunlop tyres were standard as well.

In fact, the braking system wore Porsche-badged Brembo calipers, and both the wheels and side mirrors were identical in design to those of the 964 Turbo.

Additionally, the word "PORSCHE" is inscribed in the RS2 emblem affixed to the rear tailgate and front grille.

A three-spoke leather steering wheel, Recaro sports-bucket seats (available in full leather or a leather/suede combination),

and console materials in either wood or carbon fiber trim rounded out the vehicle's interior changes.

Audi's proprietary Safety Restraint System, procon-ten remained from its donor vehicle.

Approximately 2200 RS2s were to be built initially, but due to demand the total was 2891 cars built.

Of these, only 180 were right hand drive cars built for the UK, New Zealand and South African markets.

Audi also produced an S2, which was available both as an Avant (estate) and a Coupé, as well as saloon model with only 306 examples built.

It featured a similar turbocharged 2,226 cm3 (135.8 cu in) five-cylinder engine which delivered 162 kW (220 PS; 217 bhp) (3B engine), or 169 kW (230 PS; 227 bhp) (ABY engine).
