The new Audi A4 achieves absolutely top ratings for efficiency. It boasts the best-in-class drag coefficient of just 0.23 (Avant: 0.26) and has shed as much as 120 kilograms (264.6 lb) in weight compared with the predecessor model. The economical four-cylinder power units and the high-torque six-cylinder engines delivering up to 200 kW (272 hp) also play a major part in this efficiency gain.
The Audi A4 is available for the first time with the high-efficiency engine 2.0 TFSI ultra* developing 140 kW (190 hp). The gasoline engine uses an innovative combustion process and has been designed based on the rightsizing principle. Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG, explains: “Rightsizing is about striking the perfect balance between vehicle category, displacement, output, torque and efficiency behavior in everyday conditions. Our new 2.0 TFSI is a paragon of Vorsprung durch Technik.” The economical power unit reduces the NEDC consumption of the new A4 Sedan to 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers (49.0 US mpg) and CO2 emissions to 109 grams per kilometer (175.4 g/mi) (Avant: 5.0 l (47.0 US mpg); 114 g CO2(183.5 g/mi).
The new Audi A4 and Audi A4 Avant will be on our roads in the fall. They come equipped with an extensive selection of new technologies making their first appearance in this model, such as Matrix LED headlights, adaptive cruise control StopGo including traffic jam assist, Audi virtual cockpit and 3D Sound System from Bang Olufsen.
Prices for the Audi A4 Sedan start at EUR 30,650. The Avant is available at an extra charge of EUR 1,850.
