Under the bonnet, Audi India will be going petrol-only with the new A4 facelift and the model is likely to draw power from the 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine.

Expect the engine to be paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Audi A4 facelift will go on sale in early 2021 and we expect order books to open in a few days from now. Prices for the new A4 can be expected to begin from around Rs. 40 lakh (ex-showroom) on par with most of its rivals.
