The Audi A4 Avant is one of the vehicles to get a lower emission revamp
In order to keep its promise to cut CO2 output from its fleet of cars by 20 per cent by 2012, Audi has introduced its cleanest A4 TDI model ever.
As well as this, an all-new 2.0 TFSI engine is being launched to complete the efficiency-focused overhaul of the A4 petrol range.
The new 120PS A4 2.0 TDI is available to order now in Saloon and Avant body styles with standard, SE or S line specification, priced from £22,150.
The 211PS A4 2.0 TFSI with new performance-enhancing Audi Valvelift technology is offered in SE or S line forms, again priced from £24,625.
The new TDI is based on the latest generation 2.0-litre 143PS unit first seen in the A4 at its launch earlier this year, and shares the advanced common rail piezo fuel injection system.
With an output of 120PS, and 290Nm of torque delivered via a six-speed manual transmission from just 1,750rpm, it combines significant performance with the potential to cover in excess of 55mpg.
The new A4 2.0 TDI 120PS will enjoy the lowest tax burden in the premium sector, with benefit-in-kind tax liability of £1,582 per annum (£131.85 per month) for a company car user in the 40 per cent tax bracket.
