In its latest iteration, the Audi A4 is a mighty impressive car. The only complaint that anyone will have with it is that it doesn’t offer the choice of a diesel engine. Now, however, the carmaker will introduce a 190hp 2.0-litre diesel motor on the A4 sometime in February.
The prime cause of the delay in the launch of the diesel model is because the 2.0-litre motor had to be down-graded from its Euro-VI compliance to Euro IV to make it suitable to the lower-grade fuel that’s available in India.
This engine, making, 190hp is 15hp stronger than the older A4’s 2.0-litre diesel powerplant. It will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic box as standard, though a six-speed manual gearbox could also be made available at a later stage.
The diesel A4 is a rival to cars like the Mercedes-Benz C220d and the BMW 320d. Like the petrol variant, expect Audi to price the diesel model competitively.
Hero Karizma XMR 210 will compete with Bajaj Pulsar RS200, Pulsar F250, and Suzuki Gixxer SF250 when it launches in September.
