It is the latest generation of the all new Audi A4 saloon offered by the automaker with entirely new looks and new models its replacing. It is a thoughtful plan by the automaker to introduce an entirely new model to continue with the success of the model in the UK. It is equally crucial for the automaker as well for elevating sales in the UK when Brexit has hit the nation.
Audi has always used the change as a main ingredient in its recipe of success and now, yet another time, it battles with the excellent models on the market, such as BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class saloons.
Jaguar XE and Lexus IS saloons are also in the battle of sales in this class. Although it is the most competitive segment for the sales with a high concern of profits and loss, Audi A4 is a real make or break in the segment.
In the case of Audi A4, the efficiency is a key denominator with the option within the segment and its why this new release of Audi A4 Saloon is up to 24 percentage more efficient than that it replaces. This A4 regardless of its engines boasts up to 25 percent extra power.
There’s no lack of options, with a range of Audi A4 diesel engines and petrol engines, alongside multiple gearbox options from six-speed manual to an eight-speed automated gearbox. Both seven-speed and eight-speed gearboxes offer dual clutch system.
Highlights incorporate 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engines, badged ultra-efficient and these engines are capable of producing 150hp and 190hp depending on what you choose. The truth is that the 150hp edition manages to emit just under 100g/km CO2 emissions and claims average economy on the EU cycle of over 74mpg. Of course, it’s not likely to acquire that in the true world, but just about 60mpg should be exceptionally viable from the car of A4 size.
Other engines available on board incorporate the 3.0-litre V6 TDI diesel with 218hp and the 6.3 seconds from 0-62mph, with an average fuel economy of 61.4mpg and 119g/km. There’s additionally a 272hp adaptation if you wish to go even rapid.
Even the petrol engines make a nod to efficiency, with the 1.4-litre TFSI producing 150hp and emitting 126g/km with over 50mpg on the cards. The pair of 2.0-litre TFSIs with two power variants of 190hp and 252hp returns between 51.4mpg and 45.6mpg, with CO2 emissions of 127g/km and 141g/km respectively.
The higher efficiency must be considered at the S4 Saloon introduced in summer 2016. Powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 petrol, 354hp is available; take only 4.7 seconds to push it to the 62mph and onto an electronically controlled top speed of 155mph. The outer straps borrowed from the Q7 air vent design and virtual cockpit options are also available on the new A4.
