2016 Audi A4 spied sans camouflage

Audi's range is undergoing a series of updates and refreshes. Models including the A6, Q7, TT and R8 have/will go on sale in their updated avatars. The German car maker has also been testing the 2016 A4, which has just been spied sans camouflage.

The images were snapped by worldcarfans reader Umit Merakli. As seen with the previous shots of the new A4 on test, the car appears larger in size - possibly done to pronounce the gap over the A3 apart from adding to interior space. The car seen in the image also sports dual tail pipes and redesigned LED tail lights. Unfortunately, images of the fascia or interiors were not captured.

Engine options are expected to include a host of 1.4-liter, 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter TFSI petrols, along with 1.6 and 2.0-liter diesel engines that will mainly target markets like India and Europe. Diesel intensive markets may see a 3.0-liter diesel V6, while the USA is expected to get a 3.0-liter petrol V6. A plug-in hybrid petrol will also make its way to the variant list.

The new A4 will ride on Audi's MLB Evo platform and incorporate high strength steel and aluminium into its design. Reports suggest that the new car could be lighter by a good 90-100 kgs.
