    The Audi A4 family is being extended in the new model year 2007: in addition to the bestselling diesel model, the 2.0 TDI (103 kW / 140 bhp), the A4 and A4 Avant will also be available in future with a 125 kW (170 bhp) version of this ultramodern two-litre four-cylinder engine.

    Audi has combined piezo technology and pump-injector fuel injection for the first time on this engine. This four-cylinder power unit puts up an impressive performance: it propels the A4 saloon 2.0 TDI (125 kW) with front-wheel drive and 6-speed manual gearbox from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds and on up to a top speed of 228 km/h. This car’s average fuel consumption is just 5.8 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres. The maximum torque of 350 Nm is available at between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm.

    This sporty, dynamic engine is also available in conjunction with quattro permanent four-wheel drive.

    A diesel particulate filter is standard. Prices for the A4 2.0 TDI with 125 kW start at €30,300. The combination of the 180 bhp six-cylinder 2.7 TDI engine with front-wheel drive and continuously variable multitronic transmission is another new addition to the range and costs €34,500. The benefits of this engine can be enjoyed not only by A4 saloon and A4 Avant drivers, but also by A4 Cabriolet customers.

    To mark the new model year, the interior of the A4 series has been refined still further: aluminium-look elements now adorn the switches and cup holder in the centre console. The rotary controls of the radios now also feature this high-grade trim.

    New optional equipment items have also been added to the A4 range. As in the A3, a new generation of the Audi radio navigation system with large monochrome display, MP3-compatible single CD player and MMI operating logic is making its debut. Another new feature is the optional interface for an iPod audio player.

    The range of exterior colours for the A4 has also been updated: Ibis White, Lava Grey, pearl effect and Deep Sea Blue, pearl effect have been added to the programme for the Audi A4, enabling customers to give their car a new touch.

    It goes without saying that the Audi S4 also benefits from these measures for the new model year. In addition, 18” cast aluminium wheels of a new S design and black painted brake callipers with S4 logo are now available for this sporty showpiece. The S4 logo now also adorns the brake callipers for the front wheels.

    Agreed...I'd happily forego the aluminum bits for the option of red or amaretto leather. If you want to sell more cars you've got to be aggressive...show some passion audi!

    2007 A4 Avant

    Hey guys, I just ordered a 2007 A4 Avant in phantom black pearl effect last week. It's gonna look great. I also got the premium pkg, the convenience pkg, heated front seats, and bluetooth. What was funny is that I didn't know what phantom black looked like until I saw it yesterday onling. The dealer here didn't have a sample....lol

    I can't wait, I'll post pics. Whenever the folks in Ingolstadt finish building it and get it to me in late Aug. or early Sept...

    Ciao,

    -Dale
