Audi gives A4 engine range more puff

Audi adds three new engines to A4 range

Audi have just added three new engines to its Australian A4 model range. A 3.0 TDI is now available with 176kW and, crucially, a 6.9l/100km fuel consumption figure, enabling the car to qualify for a lighter hit of Luxury Car Tax. Also joining the A4 range are two versions of the ever versatile 2.0 TFSI, one with 132kW, the other tweaked to produce 155kW. These engines supplement the existing 1.8 TFSI and 2.0 TDI engines already in the line up.

For AUSmotive’s first impressions of the new A4, read our Drive Thru report. Full pricing and Audi’s press statement are listed below.

Drive Thru: 2008 Audi A4 1.8 TFSI

2008 Audi A4 1.8 TFSI

Last month Audi Australia officially launched an all new A4 model. Audi claims to be the fastest growing prestige brand in the Australian market. If that growth is to continue the new A4 needs to deliver bums on seats. At launch there were four engine choices available. Two petrol powerplants—118kW 1.8 TFSI turbocharged four-cylinder, 195kW 3.2 FSI narrow angle V6—and two turbocharged diesel engines—105kW 2.0 TDI four-cylinder, 140kW 2.7 TDI six-cylinder.

All new Audi A4 close to Australian launch

All new Audi A4

Audi Australia are just weeks away from the launch of the all new A4 (B8 model). You can keep up to date with the latest news by registering on the Audi A4 microsite. The Audi visual language gets tighter with every new model release, presenting a unified front from their exterior design team. Some aspects of the new A4 are pleasing, but at this stage, I think final judgement should be held back until seeing one up close and personal. Naturally, the new A4 interior will be a beautifully made place to be, although, from my viewings of the A5 range, on which the new A4 interior will be largely based, I’ve not been as impressed with the layout as I have with previous A4s. Still, Audi sets the bar so high I may as well be picking faults over the delectable delights found at your local Koko Black store! The A4 was recently voted Germany’s most popular car and I’m betting that Audi Australia hopes the A4 makes plenty of Australian friends as well.
