Updated Audi A4: powertrain

The Audi A4 continues to be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that puts out 190hp and 320Nm of torque. This engine is paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox as standard, with power going to the front wheels only. The A4 does the 0-100kph sprint in a claimed 7.3sec and is said to have a top speed of 241kph.

Updated Audi A4: rivals

The updated Audi A4 (Rs 43.12 lakh-50.99 lakh) competes with other luxury sedans like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (Rs 55 lakh-61 lakh) and the BMW 3 Series (Rs 46.90 lakh- 52.90 lakh). The A4's pricing makes it the most affordable luxury sedan on sale.
