Audi Preps Prologue Avant Concept For Geneva Motor Show

Audi’s imposing Prologue concept (shown below) unveiled at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show was a preview of new styling themes (devised under the guidance of recently appointed design chief Marc Lichte) for the automaker’s future product, starting with the next-generation A8 flagship sedan due in 2016. The concept was in the shape of a coupe but Audi isn’t planning a large, luxurious two-door just yet. Instead, the Prologue previewed the look of Audi’s future sedans.

Now we have our first look at a new Prologue concept, and this one previews the look of Audi’s future Sportbacks (hatches) and Avants (wagons). The automaker has released a handful of sketches showing a new Prologue Avant, which is scheduled for a debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in early March.

The sketches show that the Prologue Avant will feature four traditional doors plus a fifth door at the rear. We can also see that the tail-light treatment will be similar to the design used on the original Prologue concept, albeit with new graphics. Another change will be the addition of a roof-mounted spoiler.
