The Chinese version is was named Audi Procrustean A7L Sedan.

During a photo shoot in China, spy photos surfaced and what we see as a beautiful Sedan, turns out to be a disappointment for the original A7L Sportback Sedan model. Generally, the Chinese version has an extended wheelbase, which required redesigning the roofline, increasing the size of the second-row side windows. 

There are several modifications to the rear end sporting a traditional sedan truck opening along with a prominent lip spoiler on the trunk's lid and some tweaked taillights with all-new LED graphics. The car will be powered by a 2.0-liter turbo-four and a 3.0-liter turbo V6. 

The model will be manufactured via a SAIC-VW joint venture at a Shanghai plant later this year. According to Car News China reports,  the A7L Sedan, based on the MLB Evo platform, could deliver a 55TFSI Quattro model range, More details will be revealed in the coming weeks.
