- New four-cylinder quattro models are a highlight of the new Audi A4 and A5 range
- Audi offers increased customer value of up to $9,300
- Additional standard features like 'Parking system plus' with rear camera now in all quattro models
Sydney, 4 October: The Audi A4 and A5 model range boasts new engines, more standard equipment, revised option packages and even more customer value with the launch of the Model Year 2014 range. As part of Audi's global 'Land of quattro' brand campaign, highlighting the brand's unique all-wheel-drive technology, these sophisticated new offerings present buyers with a host of compelling options across the premium mid-size segment.
The stars of the new A4 sedan and A5 Coupe, Sportback and Cabriolet range are the four-cylinder quattro models.
The 2.0 TFSI petrol quattro models feature a heavily revised engine with direct and indirect fuel injection, for dynamic, and even more efficient, driving. Now with 165kW (up 10kW) and 350Nm, these mid-size champions of the Audi range offer exceptional value and performance for customers.
The fastest and most efficient 2.0 TFSI quattro A5 variant, the Coupe, sprints to 100km/h in just 6.4 seconds (0.1sec faster), sipping just 6.7 litres per 100km (down 0.3L/100km).
An all-new model in the A5 Coupe and Sportback range is a 2.0 TDI quattro, with 130 kW and a strong 380Nm of torque. Acceleration performance is strong, with the A5 Coupe reaching 100km/h from rest in 7.8 seconds. As expected of an Audi TDI model, fuel economy is outstanding, at 5.3 litres per 100km.
Both the exceptional new 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TFSI A5 Coupe and Sportback quattro models are priced at a very sharp $75,700* and feature a very high level of standard equipment, highlighted by the following:
- Parking system plus with rear camera (new addition)
- 18-inch alloy wheels
- Xenon headlights
- MMI Navigation plus with 20GB hard drive and full voice control
- Convenience key
The A4 sedan range now also features the same new 2.0 TFSI and 2.0 TDI quattro models, with the latter replacing the 3.0 TDI multitronic drivetrain. Priced at just $65,800, the four-cylinder A4 quattro models feature the same generous standard equipment list as the A5 Coupe and Sportback.
The entry-level $55,500 A4 1.8 TFSI multitronic model also benefits from an increase in standard equipment, with the addition of 3-zone climate control, along with a colour Driver Information System (DIS). The entry-level multitronic A5 models also gain the same additional specification.
A new range of option packages further increase customer value for the A4 1.8 TFSI multitronic:
Technik package - $2,990
- MMI Navigation plus
- Parking system plus with rear camera
Comfort package - $2,200
- Full electric front seats
- Front seat heating
- Comfort key
- Auto dimming interior mirror
Also available for all A4 sedan models is the $1,690 Assistance Package that includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Active lane assist.
All Audi A5 3.0-litre V6 models, both TDI and TFSI, not only feature parking system plus with rear camera now as standard, but also an S line exterior package
"We have made the highly desirable Audi A4 and A5 range even more appealing," said Kevin Goult, Audi Australia's General Manager, Marketing.
"We have made some of the most popular options now standard, with even sharper pricing. We have never offered quattro all-wheel-drive technology in the A5 range at a more affordable price. It's a great message as part of our global and local 'Land of quattro' brand campaign. Our unique quattro technology is unbeatable in the segment," said Mr Goult.

The Audi Group
The Audi Group delivered more than 1,455,100 cars of the Audi brand to customers in 2012. In 2012, the Company posted revenue of €48.8 billion and an operating profit of €5.4 billion. Audi produces vehicles in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm (Germany), Gyor (Hungary), Changchun (China) and Brussels (Belgium). The Audi Q7 is built in Bratislava (Slovakia). In November 2012, CKD production of the Audi Q7 was added to the existing Audi A4, A6 and Q5 manufacturing operations in Aurangabad (India). At the Brussels plant, production of the Audi A1 has been running since 2010, while production of the new A1 Sportback began in 2012. The Audi Q3 has been built in Martorell (Spain) since June 2011. The Company is active in more than 100 markets worldwide. AUDI AG's wholly owned subsidiaries include AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. (Gyor, Hungary), Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.

Audi currently employs more than 68,000 people worldwide, including around 50,000 in Germany. The brand with the four rings plans to invest a total of €11 billion by 2015 – mainly in new products and the expansion of production capacities – in order to sustain the Company's technological lead embodied in its "Vorsprung durch Technik" claim. Audi is currently expanding its site in Gyor (Hungary) and will start production in Foshan (China) in late 2013 and in San José Chiapa (Mexico) in 2016.
Audi has long been fulfilling its social responsibility on many levels – with the aim of making the future worth living for generations to come. The basis for Audi's lasting success is therefore formed by environmental protection, the conservation of resources, international competitiveness and a forward-looking human resources policy. One example of AUDI AG's commitment to environmental issues is the Audi Environmental Foundation. Within the context of "Vorsprung durch Technik", which extends far beyond its products, the Company is directing its activities toward a major goal – comprehensive CO2-neutral mobility.
