The all new sporty and elegantly designed Audi A4

16 April 2008 · Staff

The all new Audi A4 sets standards. Never before have there been so many innovations to make driving more pleasurable and yet more exciting at the same time. Never before have you had so much room and standard equipment in an A4. And never before have you had the opportunity to personalise your car to this extent. The all new Audi A4 is the car of the future.

This brand new, latest-generation vehicle is about to be launched in Australia and is expected to boost the profile of Audi in Australia in its segment thanks to its winning combination of stylish design, strong performance and larger, wider, more dynamic appearance. It comes with an excellent pedigree and portrays the values of the Audi brand – sporty, sophisticated and progressive – to perfection.

It is bulging with top-of-the-line features and options including Audi drive select, daytime running lights and adaptive cruise control. It is dynamic and precise to drive and boasts powerful engines with systematic reductions in fuel consumption.

The all new Audi A4 will be launched in Australia in early May 2008. The car will be launched with the following engine variants:

* 1.8 TFSI manual * 1.8 TFSI multitronic * 2.0 TDI multitronic * 3.2 FSI quattro tiptronic

A 2.7-litre TDI multitronic will follow in mid 2008.

The new Audi A4 with its innovative technologies and pioneering design, will completely redefine your driving experience.
Beginning with the exterior, its ultra-modern lights, sporting profile and sweeping lines give the car a distinctive silhouette. The longer wheelbase increases
stability, while air flows more dynamically around the lower, wider body.
Under the bonnet, a choice of two petrol engines feature FSI® direct-injection – a unique Audi technology originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race.
And like their FSI petrol counterparts, two TDI diesel engines are designed for power and performance, with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The new Audi A4

For the driver, the optional Audi Drive Select system adapts the vehicle’s character at the touch of a button, effortlessly transforming your A4 from a sports car to an executive saloon. It can even be individually tuned, ensuring a ride that’s perfectly
customised to your needs.

Optional climate controlled seats add greater comfort, while quattro permanent four-wheel-drive, Audi Side Assist and Audi Lane Assist are also available, ensuring a safer, more satisfying journey. In short, the new Audi A4 incorporates the ideal
combination of cutting-edge design and advanced technologies, delivering one of the most balanced, rewarding driving experiences ever.
