Audi did say that the new A4 would be revealed by the end of the month. And they were right, as an official teaser video was uploaded to Facebook today and states both the sedan and the wagon will be shown on June 29.
Audi MediaTV handles the debut, which means we're going to see web content, not a live event where people are invited. Still, A4 fans have been waiting to see this car for the best part of two years.
Built on a new platform, the compact executive models will make extensive use of aluminum construction, just like the Q7 flagship SUV. The design will be evolutionary, with sharp lines and a wide hexagonal grille, just like the Prologue concept.
We've seen a few spy images of the interior and so far there's no sight of the Virtual Cockpit system. But we're pretty sure it will be offered sooner rather than later.
For us at least, the engine range is going to be the most interesting. Audi has already discussed a new type of 2.0 TFSI petrol mill that's said to consume only 5 l/100km on the combined cycle. That's likely to go into an A4 ultra model though the diesels will be even more efficient. We expect a plug-in hybrid TDI will also be introduced with around 240 PS and 50+ kilometers of electric driving range.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we'll get to see the S4 models at the same time as the A4 like it happened at the TT/TTS debut. We're quite excited to see if the arrival of a new generation compact spells the start of a new performance diesel era.
So for Monday's big debut, be prepared to hear about weight reduction and increased cabin space.
