New AUDI A4 Avant 2012 Exterior [HD] (Option Auto News)

https://www.optionauto.com
The Audi A4 -- in sedan and Avant form -- is a winner in the mid-size category. Its available engines offer strong performance coupled with high efficiency. They are every bit an expression of the brand's technical expertise as are the sporty handling and the numerous convenience and infotainment features taken directly from the full-size category.

The A4 is a customer favorite. This past spring, the five millionth model built since the A4 designation for the model series was introduced in 1994 rolled off the assembly line at Audi's Ingolstadt plant. The readers of auto, motor und sport named the A4/A5 model series best in its category in the voting for the "Best Cars of 2011."

Body and interior
The Audi A4 is a spacious automobile. Its body, comprising mostly high-strength and ultra high-strength steels, is rigid, lightweight and safe. The sedan offers a trunk capacity of 480 liters (16.95 cu ft). Capacity with the rear seat backs folded down (a standard feature in the quattro versions) is 962 liters (33.97 cu ft). The A4 Avant offers 490 and 1,430 liters (17.30 and 50.50 cubic ft), respectively.

The interior offers all of the classic strengths of the brand, with uncompromising fit and finish and logical, intuitive controls. When equipped with a navigation system, the A4 features a color monitor and the MMI operating system. Audi offers the luxurious climate-controlled comfort seats as an option for the driver and front-seat passenger. Small fans provide six-speed ventilation to the seat cushion and back.

Drive
The A4 model series has a particularly broad engine lineup with 13 powerplants. All of them feature direct-fuel injection and, with the exception of the most powerful 3.2 FSI engine, are also turbocharged.

The V6 and the 2.0 TFSI feature different versions of the Audi valvelift system, which uses two-stage variable valve lift to increase torque. A start-stop system is standard with many of the engines; all come standard with a recuperation system.

The most efficient model in the A4 lineup is the 2.0 TDI with 100 kW (136 hp). In the sedan, the four-cylinder diesel producing 320 Nm (236.02 lb-ft) of torque consumes just 4.4 liters of diesel per 100 km (53.46 US mpg) on average, a CO2 equivalent of just 115 grams per km (185.07 g/mile). The model features the know-how from Audi's modular efficiency platform.

Two other particularly environmentally compatible engines join the 2.0 TDI in the A4 lineup. A sophisticated purification system in the A4 3.0 TDI clean diesel quattro largely eliminates nitrides of oxygen so that the V6 diesel satisfies all U.S. emission standards and also the future Euro 6 standard. The A4 2.0 TFSI flexible fuel is also designed for operation on bioethanol E 85.
