Changes continue under the bonnet, with seven all new or heavily revised
engines on offer in the A4.
There's only a single
engine on offer for now — a 2.3 - liter turbo I4 mated to a 10 - speed automatic.
Well, it'll do that in GT trim, which packs the most
powerful engine on offer, a 365 - horsepower, twin - turbocharged V6.
The aesthetics get mild updates for a relatively fresh face but underneath there are all - new
engines on offer along with a longer list of features and upgraded interiors with the latest tech.
No matter what trim is chosen, the
sole engine on offer is a 1.6 - liter, naturally aspirated four cylinder good for 130 horsepower and 119 pound - feet of torque.
With the
current engines on offer, the difference between performance isn't as big and hence we should first talk about the more popular engine of choice, diesel.
The
only engine on offer for the US - spec Evoque is a 2.0 - liter turbocharged four banger with 240 hp.
That means the flower vase has gone and there's a decent set
of engines on offer from the 105PS 1.2 litre petrol to the 200PS 2.0 litre TSI, with two diesels — the 1.6 litre TDI with 105PS and 2.0 litre TDI with 140PS — and a choice of manual or DSG «boxes.
Of the five
engines on offer from launch in Europe, just one will be petrol, although all will be more powerful than before (by up to 20kW) as well as more efficient.
You know how it goes: On one hand, you can't even fathom buying a pony car — or a sports car, or even a minivan, for that matter — with the
smallest engine on offer.
Not only is it available in a variety of power outputs, it's also the most
efficient engine on offer — all versions can return over 60mpg, with up to 72mpg being possible from the ultra-frugal 118 and 138bhp engines.
There will be no diesel
engine on offer at the time of launch which is scheduled for April 2018.

cylinder engines on offer, while Smart has much - improved its auto gearbox option, so it's now worth considering if you want a self - shifter.
In addition, the 2015 Cayenne S also gets a new and more powerful
engine on offer with the entire lineup more fuel efficient over the outgoing model.
Other
engines on offer include two petrols — a 99bhp 1.4 - litre and 118bhp 1.6 - litre — as well as a 108bhp tune of this 1.6 diesel and a very meagre sounding 89bhp 1.4 CRDi, which majors only on list price with worse fuel economy than the 1.6 and a yawning 13.5 sec 0 - 62 time; unlikely to be called upon in Top Trumps, but it will translate into overtaking frustration in the real world.
Seemingly every segment of the car industry has at least one
turbo engine on offer; twin turbos, once the realm of exotic supercars, are now available on pickup trucks and family haulers.
The 2.0 - litre, four - cylinder
TDCi engine on offer is available in two states of tune, 148bhp or 178bhp, with the lower output version offered in either front - and four - wheel drive - the more powerful unit is four - wheel drive only.
From its more athletic stance to the two
turbocharged engines on offer, you'll find yourself quickly falling in love with the zesty appeal of the refreshed Honda Accord, highlighting it's distinct advantages in a crowded segment.
Larger alloy wheels, particularly the 18 - inch versions, compound this problem by adding tyre roar to the relatively
noisy engines on offer.

engine on offer remains the 197bhp 2.2 - litre diesel but it is now available with the option of a new eight - speed automatic gearbox — a first for Kia.

premium engine on offer, the 1.4 generated 103kW of power and 200Nm of torque, and posts fuel consumption of 6.4 or 6.9 L / 100 km — for manual or auto variants respectively.
Its understated style, classy interior and host of tech on board make it a saloon car to aspire to, and when you do get behind the wheel, there's super frugal or high -
performance engines on offer that deliver penny pinching running costs or deceptively quick acceleration.
The
first engine on offer will be a 5.6 - liter, eight - cylinder engine, putting out 390 horsepower and 401 pound - feet of torque.
The Power Stroke V6 isn't the most
lightweight engine on offer, having a block made of compacted - graphite iron rather than aluminum — a necessary trade - off given the diesel's higher peak cylinder pressures.
Shame the best engine's exclusive to one trim Of the two four - cylinder
gasoline engines on offer in the Hyundai Elantra, there's one that stands out as our pick of the range: the 1.4 - liter unit found in the Elantra Eco model.
In terms of powertrain, the formula again sounds familiar, with a pair of turbocharged 2 -
liter engines on offer in either TFSI gasoline or TDI diesel flavors (the latter presuming there's no further fallout from VW's current emissions - cheating scandal).
You can also expect SEAT to increase the range of
engines on offer still further through 2013 and introduce both a Leon Estate and a Leon 3 - door.
Sadly the V6 motor is no longer an option, but the updated 2.0 - litre TFSI — the
only engine on offer — has been bumped up to 252 horsepower and 273 lb - ft of torque.

diesel engines on offer in today's market.
With no diesel option on offer (like the 1.4 - litre D4D that's available in the rest of the Europe), the 1.33 - litre VVT - I petrol
engine on offer in the UK, paired with the manual gearbox, returns 51.4 mpg in combined fuel economy and emits 127g / km in CO2, putting it in road tax band D, which will cost about # 105 a year.
Despite being the
smallest engine on offer, it's actually rather flexible as a result of its strong 325 - hp / 375 lb - ft of torque outputs, on top of being very smooth and refined.
The base variants in particular get the 1.4 - litre TFSI and 2.0 - litre TDI engine, which have been termed with the Audi «Ultra» badge with the latter being the most fuel
efficient engine on offer.
There's a 1.2 - litre (88PS / 111Nm) and a 1.5 - litre petrol (112PS / 136Nm)
