Audi A5 With New 1.8 Turbo FSI Engine At UK
Replacement for highly successful 1.8-litre Turbo engine brings yet more FSI efficiency to A5 coupe

New four-cylinder FSI engine for A5 combines turbo charging with direct petrol injection for excellent all-round performance

A5 1.8 TFSI available to order now with six-speed manual transmission for GBP 26,190 OTR or GBP 27,140 with Sport specification - first UK deliveries in late November

170PS @ 4,800-6,200rpm, 250Nm @1,500-4,800rpm, 0-62mph in 8.4 seconds, 140mph, 39.8mpg, CO2 169g/km

The first four-cylinder engine to power the all-new Audi A5 coupe joins the UK range this week, and fittingly it too is also a completely new design. The advanced, directly injected successor to the familiar 1.8-litre Turbo petrol unit that has powered A3, A4, A6 and TT models in the past creates the A5 1.8 TFSI, which is available to order now for an OTR price of £26,190. First UK deliveries are expected in late November.

Performance-enhancing turbo charging and fuel-rationing FSI direct petrol injection combine in the new unit to deliver 170PS at 4,800rpm and a healthy 250Nm torque peak that remains available from 1,500rpm through to 4,800rpm. As a result, the front-wheel-driven A5 1.8 TFSI with six-speed manual transmission passes the 62mph yardstick 8.4 seconds after take off, and can continue to a top speed of 140mph, all the while demonstrating a healthy dislike for petrol, with up to 39.8mpg possible according to the combined cycle test.

The extensive equipment list from which the first phase of V6-powered A5 models benefits is carried over largely unchanged to the four-cylinder version. It includes luxuries such as Milano leather-upholstery, advanced three-zone climate control and rear acoustic parking sensors, as well as sophisticated features like a space-liberating electromechanical parking brake which are more commonly to be found only in larger luxury cars.

Key optional features for this new lead-in model include Xenon head lamps with LED daytime running lights (£775), a Sport upgrade bringing larger 18-inch wheels, sports seats and further lowered sports suspension (£950), a 505-watt, 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system (£525), the Audi Parking System Advanced with rear-mounted camera (£650) and Adaptive Light swivelling headlights (£325).

This would never fly in the U.S., and would actually do serious damage to Audi's reputation...

Q7,TT,A4,A5,R8...etc i mean in the last 3 years nearly 5 new models came and hardly an All New engine.

Same engines in every car.

Typical Audi.

btw does 1.8T makes sense in a coupe this big? U tell me.

A5 should go no lower than 2.0T. It will loose so much appeal/image.

Same sense as a 320i coupe does? Or maybe a CLK 200?

"A5 should go no lower than 2.0T. It will loose so much appeal/image."

Have you ever been to Europe?

Yes, I was stationed there, but just as one might easily see MB/BMW taxis or police cars in Europe, here in the U.S., that simply wouldn't happen.

This is an all-new engine, JUGNU.

And who cares about 'appeal/image'? Are you some kind of snob?

So you can by the A5 as a 1.8T? So?

You can also get a 4.2 lite V8 in the same car.

Sounds to me like you think freedom of choice is a bad thing, and you sound like a snob. Oh so a 170BHP 1.8 isn't good enough for you? Well to people who want a bit of power without the fuel bills, this engine will suit them fine.

And since the engine is so advanced, it won't hurt Audi's image. It' s still a high-technology car, just with smaller displacement.

Why am I getting de-boosted?

Ok, so I got a little personal, however focus on the points I am making!

I guess I've upset some people. It's my opinion. Deal with it.

Mathew

maybe to u a car ranging from 1.8 (which is even in the cheapest VW) to Lamborghini derived 4.2 V8(future) makes sense but to me it's not.

and S4 i can't take u seriously.U r so biased.

And you're not? Ha!

If you think I'm so biased, would it be surprising to hear that I want my wife to get the Lexus LS460 to replace the RX330? Or that I'm definitely not going to get two Audis for my next mini-fleet, but only one?

I don't know why I even said that. I have nothing to prove, and nothing to hide. But I'm just making a point.

I think that every single thing you just listed is incredibly stupid. I refrain from using any of them in my statements.
