Ford says customers can
expect fuel consumption improvements of more than 15 percent compared with the outgoing model, which means it will use between 6.0 and 6.8 litres / 100 km on the combined cycle.
As noted previously, tuning work on the CVTs has eked out
claimed fuel consumption improvements for both the 2.0 — which drops from 6.9 L / 100 km and 160g / km of CO2 to 6.7 and 156 — and the 2.4, which drops from 7.5 L / 100 km and 174g CO2 per km to 7.2 and 166.
All engines deliver
both fuel consumption improvements and CO2 reduction benefits over their predecessors — and, since diesel cleanliness has been in the headlines a lot this year, it should be noted that all A4s, both petrol and diesel, meet stringent Euro 6 emissions regulations.
This has been achieved by taking a total vehicle approach to emissions reduction and
fuel consumption improvement, whilst at the same time improving drivability and dynamic performance.
Despite the increased performance, the engineers have also found
a fuel consumption improvement of 0.7 L / 100 km to 8.2 L / 100 km.
