2013 brings four new models with the addition of a few minor changes and product refreshes to the Audi line up. The most notable additions include the RS 5, S6, S7 , S8 and the Q7 gains a new engine with updated power figures.

The Q5 and R8 details are absent at this time. This doesn’t mean they will be unavailable, it just means that Audi is not yet prepared to release the details for these models for the 2013 model year. Both models are scheduled to receive their refresh relatively soon and this likely bolsters expectations for the updates to come out soon.

We have painstakingly gone through this and done our best to highlight the changes that we have noticed from the 2012 guide.

A3:

Brings no changes until 2014 when the Sedan enters the market.

A4/S4/allroad:

The allroad returns for 2013. While A4/S4 receive a mid-cycle refresh. Audi has updated the front and rear bodywork with a more aggressive design. To bring the A4/S4 inline with the rest of the models Audi Connect has also been added.

No major changes to the Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige packages of 2013.
