Two years after the Audi TT Sportback Concept made its debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the Ingolstadt-based automaker is slated to present the production version of the TT Sportback. When will that happen? On November 20. Where will it happen? At the Guangzhou Auto Show.
Chinese automotive publication info.xcar.com.cn broke this bit of news, commenting that the four-door Audi TT Sportback will undoubtedly be more in line with the tastes of Chinese consumers. As a general rule, the Chinese like spacious cars. The new model's blend of sportiness and practicality is just what the doctor ordered for the Chinese.
Underpinned by the Volkwagen Group's MQB modular platform, the all-new Audi TT Sportback will be built in Gyor, Hungary, where the Coupe and Roadster are also assembled. Whether it will or won't be well-received by the general public all around the world, the TT family will welcome a fourth member. More specifically, the Audi TT Q crossover SUV that'll arrive in 2017.
In terms of engines, the China-spec Audi TT Sportback is expected to be animated by a 2.0 TFSI turbo-4 with 230 PS (169 kW) in standard tune. A more powerful 310 PS (228 kW) variant will also be offered. A 2-liter TDI and a 2.5 TFSI are expected to become available, depending on the market.
Naturally, customers will have the choice between front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive, as well as the choice between a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed S-tronic dual-clutch automatic.
Bumper to bumper, the Audi TT Sportback Concept stretches 4.47 meters (14.7 feet). That's almost the same length as the A3 Sedan. Bur rather than cannibalizing its brother's sales, the production-ready Audi TT Sportback will rival models such as the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. It may be a little early to talk about the price of an unlaunched product, but expect the TT Sportback to cost €2,000 more than the Coupe.
