The future is electric and like many other automakers globally, even Audi It is set for 100 percent EV conversion in a decade. That said, there’s still more than 10 years to go and in the meantime the German brand isn’t shying away from developing new internal combustion engines (ICEs) or petrol and diesel powertrains. Next Generation Audi A4 It is expected to be a step up from the current model and will get a new range of petrol and diesel engines, according to Auto Express UK. While this is exciting, the model is not going to make its switch to the new MQB platform, which was anticipated earlier, and will stick to the MLB platform.

The next-gen Audi A4 will also get a plug-in-hybrid powertrain.
Now the new range of powertrains will definitely be less polluting than the previous units. The range will include lightweight and plug-in hybrids and will still be based on a new generation of petrol and diesel engines, as shared by Oliver Hoffmann, Head of Technical Development – Audi, who further described it as, “We Best launch ever.”. Speaking to Auto Express, Hoffman said, “The A4, which accounts for about one-fifth of Audi’s global sales, is a “super-important” model for the firm. The next generation of the A4 is under development and we will be in the market for many years. For that car and the A6. Production of the last new combustion-engine model will begin in 2025 and end with the normal lifecycle in 2033. But we will launch some models much earlier.”

The 2023 Audi A4 will also be offered with a diesel engine.
The new Audi A4 is therefore expected to arrive by 2023 and while a diesel version will also be offered, the EA888 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine from the Volkswagen Group will be the mainstay. Volkswagen is working on variable-section turbines within the turbocharger, which are designed to improve throttle response at low speeds, while providing higher overall power output. And higher fuel injection pressure is also expected. Hoffman also told Auto Express that the new petrol engine will feature “more electrification, of course, to meet regulations”, and will feature beefed-up 48-volt technology for the mild-hybrid versions and a larger A battery-backed powertrain is likely to be included. For plug-in hybrid versions where the battery pack is mounted above the rear axle.
