The new Audi A4 promises to deliver even better tax and fuel efficiency across it’s range, with the 2.0TDi engine now emitting as low as 112g/km CO2, and delivering 67.2 miles to the gallon. A full range of petrol and diesel engines will be available, all delivering greater economy than before and lower CO2′s. However with BMW’s new efficient Dynamics packages poised to deliver sub- 100 CO2 figures, have Audi done enough?
A range of new active safety features, including cruise control that prevents you ‘rear-ending’ the car in front, a camera that monitors traffic in your ‘blind-spots’ and a ‘lane-assist’ system that adjusts your steering if you wander over the white lines, all promise to deliver enhanced safety for the occupants, however some might argue, will allow the driver to ‘switch off’ to the dangers around him too easily!
These features are by no means unique to Audi, but do perhaps give a clue to the direction of their thinking. We would not expect the take-up of these cost options to be substantial at this point but it is only a matter of time we would expect, for these to become part of the standard offering.
