2014 Audi A4 TDI to be introduced in the US

Audi has decided to further strengthen their diesel engine lineup in the United States, but President of Audi America has just confirmed the future model A4 will get a TDI engine to begin with.

Divulging details to a well known magazine he said the company had a plan earlier to offer a diesel engine in the A4 but coming this far in its life cycle, it didn’t make any sense to do all the engineering stuff again for the car to have a two-year selling period.

Irrespective of anything, the executive confirmed that the 2014 model will be offered with a 2.0-liter TDI engine that could produce 184 HP (135 kW) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. He also disclosed that the company was considering a 3.0-liter TDI engine but the company had second thoughts that sales would be too low to favor the investment.
