The new Audi A4 and S4 is here The Audi A4 range has been updated. New solutions for efficiency, driving dynamics and infotainment, along with a more attractive design attest the “Vorsprung durch Technik” achieved by the Audi A4 sedan, A4 Avant and the Audi S4 sedan. By 2011, more than nine million Audi A4’s had been sold and it remains the Audi brand’s most important and most recognised model range. Engines in the new A4’s set new efficiency standards. The consumption levels have dropped by 11 percent on average, despite the increased power and torque of many of the engines. In the Sedan and the Avant body

tion when compared to its less powerful predecessor engine.
