Audi announced today the Audi A5 2.0 TFSI for the British market. The Audi A5 2.0 TFSI price starts at 28,760 pounds for the front-wheel-drive version and at 30,285 for the quattro model and will be available in showrooms from August.
The engine of the Audi A5 2.0 TFSI is based on the 1.8 TFSI unit from the new A4 that received a new valvelift technology. The Audi A5 2.0 TFSI outputs 211 PS between 4,300 rpm and 6,000rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 1,500 rpm and 4,200 rpm. The top speed of the new model is 155 mph and has a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 6.9 seconds.
The fuel consumption of the new Audi A5 2.0 TFSI is 42.8 mpg and has a 154g/km CO2 emission level.
Audi Press Release:
A newly developed Turbo FSI petrol engine available from this week for the Audi A5 provides the sought-after coupe with yet another choice blend of pace and pence-per-mile efficiency. The new 211PS A5 2.0 TFSI can be ordered in either front-wheel-drive or quattro permanent all-wheel-drive forms for £28,760 OTR or £30,285 OTR, and will reach its first UK customers in August.
The new high-tech 2.0-litre unit is derived from the already much praised 1.8 TFSI engine introduced recently in A3, A4 and A5 models, but takes its efficiency a step further still through the use of new Audi valvelift technology. By employing sliding cam units mounted on the intake camshaft that allow for more variation in the degree of valve lift, the engine is able to ‘breathe’ even more effectively, switching to a higher cam profile when strong acceleration is required, or a lower profile that requires less fuel and air compression when throttle usage is more relaxed.
The new 2.0-litre TFSI unit delivers 211PS from 4,300rpm and a very impressive 350Nm torque maximum from just 1,500rpm – more even than the 3.2-litre V6 FSI unit also powering A5 models. It enables the front-wheel-drive A5 2.0 TFSI with six-speed manual transmission to cover the 0-62mph sprint in 6.9 seconds, reach a top speed of 155mph and return up to 42.8mpg according to the combined cycle test. And despite doing full justice in performance terms to the purposeful styling of the A5, it also shows restraint where emissions are concerned, with an output of 154g/km for the front-wheel-drive version.
Standard specification for front-wheel-drive and quattro all-wheel-drive versions of the new A5 2.0 TFSI includes xenon headlamps with trademark LED strip daytime running lamps, 17-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels, 3-zone electronic climate control, a 10-speaker Concert CD audio system, full Milano leather upholstery and rear acoustic parking.
