One of the most awaited launches of recent times is of 2015 Audi A4 that is set to once again create ripples in the market. Ahead of its debut which is to be held at the Frankfurt Motor Show, new 2016 Audi A4 specs stir the industry. In its 5 thgeneration, 2016 Audi A4 will more or less be a whole new model rather than just a facelift. And despite all the changes, it is expected that the company will price it even better than the previous versions.
2016 Audi A4 will get the front wheel drive MLB Evo platform which will result to an added length as well as wheelbase of the outgoing version. The boot space will also increase by 15 litres. Apart from this, there will be fresh design on the exteriors which will make the car look sharper as well as more aggressive with a masculine design. On the inside as well there will be a lot of changes including the redesign of seats, steering wheel along with tablet style MMI tablet as well as new 3D sound system and Apple CarPlay which might come as optional features.
In terms of the powertrain, 2016 Audi A4 will have new (or revised and upgraded) engines. The TDI diesel engines as well as TFSI petrol engines will be seeing an upgrade which will result to an even better performance of the much loved A4. It is expected that we might see a 1.4-litre TFSI engine which will have a power output of 148bhp while the other engines will have 215bhp power output and one with an output of 268bhp. It is expected that the 2016 Audi A4 will follow the hybrid A3 e-tron as well but there is no official statements about it so far.
Another feature of the 2016 Audi A4 will be the new technologies like traffic jam assist system as well as hands free driving at pedestrian speed up to 8mph. The auto pilot driving technology will also feature an adaptive cruise control followed by improved fuel efficiency. The 2016 Audi A4 will be nearly 10% more economical in terms of fuel which is sure to attract a lot of attention especially in the Indian market. The countdown has begun and soon we’ll know whether BMW 3 Series will have to roll up its sleeves as well or will 2016 Audi A4 fall short; the clock is ticking!
