Audi A7 Sportback to break cover on July 26

The Audi A7 Sportback will be revealed on July 26 in Munich, Audi confirmed on Tuesday.

This is the sleek, much-anticipated sedan with a couplelike vibe set to arrive for the 2012 model year. The car was previewed by the Audi Sportback concept in 2009. The new car will have five doors and is expected to launch by next spring in North America.

Audi will reveal the car at an art museum. The A7 Sportback will take aim at the next-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS and top-flight BMWs.

The Audi will have room for four. Power will come from V6 and V8 engines, including Audi's 330-hp supercharged V6. Front- and all-wheel drive will be available.

AutoWeek named the Sportback concept Best in Show at the '09 Detroit show.
