Frankfurt 2007: Audi Introduces its New A4

The new A4 2.0 TDI e Concept consumes just 4.9 litres of fuel for 100 kilometres, and thus represents a milestone in the sporty middle class. The world's cleanest diesel engine will enter series production in 2008 in the new A4 3.0 TDI with ultra low emission system. The latest generation of hybrid module makes use of the superior parallel hybrid construction and of state-of-the-art technologies such as lithium ion batteries.

With the new 2.0 TDI e Concept, Audi is showing just how effective its new Modular Efficiency program is. The sporty middle class saloon undercuts the consumption limit of five litres per 100 km. The A4 2.0 TDI e Concept needs just 4.9 litres for 100 km on the EU cycle. This means CO2 emissions of just 129 g/km – less than the limit that the European Union aims to introduce for vehicle fleets from 2012. With an output of 105 kW / 143 bhp and a peak torque of 320 Nm, the A4 2.0 TDI e Concept is a powerful saloon – for Audi, a dynamic character always goes hand in hand with low consumption.

In this vehicle, Audi has realised a whole package of innovative engineering solutions. Some of these are already in series production on the new Audi A4. Others, such as the start/stop system or the energy recuperation system, will be introduced in the near future.

I assume those are Imperial gallons rather than the anemic U.S. gallons? ;)

Nope, but this doesn't mean that the EPA ratings will be the same. They will probably be about 20% lower. But you can easily expect about a 20-30% improvement with the hybrid system on the A4. So expect something like 28/35 from the EPA.

What a boring "all new" A4 design.....and to think that this design will have to carry the A4 through for another 8 years.

You know what? I am glad that a company - Audi - has balls to stick with a good design and improve on it instead of reinventing itself every 6 years or so.

I can tell it will look stunning in dark colors. This car has an element of aggression and panache that the old car lacked. The interior is also completely different.

It is hard to get excited about the new a4 after looking at the BMW X6

Where did the FALSE rumor that Audi's have the best interiors ?
It's the same interior Audi has had since the 1990's.

hah lol....why are you on a car site, when you know nothing about cars...or perhaps your blind...either way saying this car's interior is like that of a old a4s is like saying you are you are an intelligent person.

This car doesn't do anything for me.I like the headlights which remind me of the r8 with the led's but overall the car just looks bland.I guess I'll wait to see better pics before I place a final judement.
