This seems to be mainly changes to the engine options rather than any more significant changes that would justify the term "facelift" (the C6 facelift resulted in new front and rear bumpers and light assemblies plus the adoption of the 3G navigation system). We shall probably have to wait and see what materialises and when but it seems unlikely that anything significant will appear at Geneva in March (I would expect the rumour mill would already be in overdrive if that were the case, with pictures of lightly disguised cars being driven all over the place).

^ I agree. Don't believe anything you see on the Internet until Audi have released official info/pics.

From reading that article briefly they're talking about MY2015 spec changes.

As a general rule of thumb mainstream European cars have a 7 year lifespan, with a refresh usually after 4 years. So for the C7 you would expect an update in 2015 (MY16) as suggested earlier in the thread.

Hi migrating from the Passat B5 forum…..having had a drive of the 2.0 tdi I see that drive the deal and 'car wow' are offering the 'ultra' tag as an option for orders now. Less CO2, 190 bhp as opposed to 177 and more mpg for the same price as current spec. No dates are given for delivery however, but if these models are being offered it must be soon. Does not make any mention of kit/visual change though.

By way of update…..had 3 replies from different Audi dealers via 'car wow' for an ultra model tdi that with options i like at £7.5k under list price, so it seems that this facelift is pretty current.

On could argue that a new Engine and Gearbox represents a far more significant "facelift" than a few bits of trim and tinsel.

A new 2.0 engine would have little or no impact on someone planning on buying the 3.0 BiTDi. Sheet metal changes, new MMI system, standardisation of Bi Xenon across all models (typically things that might be defined as a facelift) would - not that I have any knowledge that any of these are planned or when, it is just by way of an example to make a point.

This plus the DTD changes seem to suggest a new variation is on the way, a bit like the TDie from the C6. Interesting that this time the more economical engine is actually more powerful and ever so slightly cheaper than the current model.
