The all-new Audi A4 is here, and it comes in $2,000 more than the previous model. The said new breed of A4 is scheduled to reach our shores in early 2008. Audi’s new runner was unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show, set to arrive at the UK in two petrol engines, a 158bhp 1.8-liter TFSI and a 261bhp 3.2-liter V6. It will also be available in three diesel engines, a 141bhp 2.0-liter, 187bhp 2.7 and a 237bhp 3.0 engine. All A4 come in six-speed manual transmission aside form the 2.7, which gets to have a CVT.

The new A4 is based on many of the same underpinnings as the A5 coupe, which means it should be every bit as sharp to drive, although only the 3.2 and 3.0 will come with quattro four-wheel-drive as standard. As in the A5, this has a 60:40 rear bias.

The A4 also ought to ride well. On standard suspension the A5 is easily the best-riding Audi we’ve driven, even on 19-inch wheels. No doubt Audi’s recent policy of testing in the UK must take some of the credit.

All of the UK launch models will start in SE trim, which means they get 17-inch alloys, three-zone climate control, a 180-watt CD audio system with a 6.5-inch color display, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights and wipers and aluminum interior trim. The new A4’s available to order now, so you must go to your nearest Audi shop and check out if people are actually that eager to cash out.
