The new 252 PS Audi A4 allroad quattro 2.0 TFSI S tronic will be the first Audi to adopt the latest quattro ultra drivetrain. This advanced system predicts when front or all-wheel drive is most suitable, trimming CO2 and increasing overall MPG.
RHD versions of the first Audi to incorporate the brand’s latest advancement in all-wheel drive will soon be available in the UK.
The newly developed, permanently available quattro system with ultra technology will soon become available to order, initially in conjunction with the 252PS version of the 2.0-litre TFSI engine powering the latest A4 allroad. Three other TDI engine variants in the A4 allroad range will also open for order at the end of April, with first deliveries scheduled to begin in June.
Designed for Audi models with longitudinally installed engines, the new technology delivers tangible benefits in terms of both fuel efficiency and CO2 output during every journey. Fundamentally, the system deactivates all-wheel drive when it is not needed, but ensures that it is also permanently and instantaneously available, significantly reducing the potential fuel consumption difference between the two drive configurations.
By using a highly intelligent networked sensor system that communicates with a multi-plate clutch and integrated decoupler on the rear axle, the A4 allroad can switch between front- or all-wheel drive in a split-second depending on the driving conditions.
