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 rain injection technology, are fitted with diesel particulate filters and, of course, comply with EU4 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 (143 bhp) to 176 kW (240 bhp). The most powerful diesel engine for the A4, the 3.0 TDI, has an impressive torque rating of 500 Nm at 1,500 to 3,000 rpm, and reaches 100 km/h from a standstill in just 6.1 seconds; its top speed is 250 km/h (governed).

Fuel consumption and emission data:
Audi A4 2.0 TDI, 105 kW (143 bhp); combined fuel consumption 5.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 144 g/km
Audi A4 2.7 TDI, 140 kW (190 bhp), multitronic®; combined fuel consumption 6.6 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 176 g/km
Audi A4 3.0 TDI quattro, 176 kW (240 bhp); combined fuel consumption 6.9 l/100 km; 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 metered 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 (160 bhp) to 195 kW (265 bhp).

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 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds.

Fuel consumption and emission data:
Audi A4 1.8 TFSI, 118 kW (160 bhp); combined fuel consumption 7.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 169 g/km
Audi A4 3.2 FSI quattro, 195 kW (265 bhp); combined fuel consumption 9.2 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions 219 g/km
