Audi is planning to launch the next-generation A4 sedan in India. Multiple spy shots of the car being tested on Indian roads have already been put up on the internet. The German automaker has now imported a few units of the A4 30 TFSI variant into India. This indicates that the next-gen A4 will come with a new entry-level petrol engine.

The Audi A4 30 TFSI is powered by a 1.4-litre, turbocharged, four-cylinder petrol unit, which, in international markets, is capable of generating around 148 BHP and 250 Nm of torque. Though it is still uncertain whether the said engine will be mated to a manual or an automatic gearbox, Audi is more likely to couple it to a 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission.

According to the company, this engine is capable of taking the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, while the top speed is marked at 210 km/h.

The 2016 Audi A4 launch in India is expected to be scheduled in the next couple of months.
