Audi opened bookings for the A4 facelift earlier this week and now, the German carmaker has announced the launch date for the updated sedan in India. The Audi A4 facelift will be launched in India on January 5, 2021. Bookings are currently ongoing for a token amount of INR 2 lakh at either any authorized Audi dealerships across the country or on their official website. To offer the best ownership experience to its customers, Audi is even offering a four-year comprehensive service package on pre-bookings.
The 2021 Audi A4 facelift will be offered
in India in two variants - Premium Plus and Technology. What has been a very
strong seller for Audi in India, has been updated significantly both inside and
out. The new Audi A4 facelift sports Audi's latest iteration of the hexagonal
single-frame grille flanked by new LED headlamps with LED DRLs on either side.
The front bumper too has been refreshed with new fog lamp housings and at the
rear, there's redesigned tail lamps with a re-worked bumper. The new Audi A4
looks a lot more sporty and hunkered down than the outgoing car.
The interiors of the Audi A4 too have been
sufficiently spruced up. Although it does the feature the dual-screen setup for
the infotainment system and climate controls seen on newer and bigger Audis
like the A6, A8L and Q8, it does come with a new 10.1-inch touchscreen
infotainment system with Audi's latest MMI user interface. It also gets Audi's
virtual cockpit system along with configurable interior lighting and a few
other new features as well. The quality of materials used on the inside too
have been improved.
Under the hood, the Audi A4 facelift will
be powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TFSI petrol engine in India. This
engine produces 190hp and the A4 will even get a 12V mild-hybrid system for the
first time. The engine will come mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch auto gearbox
with power being sent to the front wheels. Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive
system could be offered as an option on the higher-spec Technology variant.
Audi claims the A4 can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds.
