Powerful and efficient drive

The engines in the new Audi A4: progressive, powerful, efficient. All the petrol engines are equipped with FSI®, a particularly economical method of direct injection. The TDI® engines use modern common-rail injection technology, are fitted with diesel particulate filters and already comply with EU5 emission standards.

The diesel engines

Modern, high-torque diesel units with four or six cylinders are available for your new Audi A4. The range at model launch extends from 105 kW (143PS) to 176 kW (240PS). The most powerful diesel engine for the A4, the 3.0 TDI, has an impressive torque rating of 500 Nm from 1,500 to 3,000 rpm, and reaches 62 mph from a standstill in just 6.1 seconds; its top speed is 155 mph (governed).

Fuel consumption and emission data:
Audi A4 2.0 TDI, 105 kW (143PS); combined fuel consumption 51.4 mpg; combined CO2 emissions 144 g/km
Audi A4 2.7 TDI, 140 kW (190PS), multitronic®; combined fuel consumption 42.8 mpg; combined CO2 emissions 176 g/km
Audi A4 3.0 TDI quattro, 176 kW (240PS); combined fuel consumption 40.9 mpg; combined CO2 emissions 183 g/km

The petrol engines

The petrol engines in the A4 are equipped with FSI® or TFSI®, technologies that have been tried and tested in motorsport. In FSI® engines, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber in precisely measured quantities. This provides for efficient combustion and improved petrol utilisation. TFSI® combines FSI® with a turbocharger to deliver even more power. Petrol models are available as both four- and six-cylinder versions. The range at model launch extends from 118 kW (160PS) to 195 kW (265PS).

A special valve timing system, the Audi valvelift system, reduces internal friction in the 3.2 FSI engine, thus reducing fuel consumption – but not power! As a result, the most powerful model, the A4 3.2 FSI, with its torque rating of 330 Nm, accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.2 seconds.

Fuel consumption and emission data:
Audi A4 1.8T FSI, 118 kW (160PS); combined fuel consumption 39.8 mpg; combined CO2 emissions 169 g/km
Audi A4 3.2 FSI quattro, 195 kW (265PS); combined fuel consumption 30.7 mpg; combined CO2 emissions 219 g/km
