Audi slides two new engines into Q5 and A4 Allroad

Diesel engines have been a hot topic in the U.S. lately, but so far demand, while growing, hasn’t shot up to the levels necessary to support a range of choices from carmakers. Europe is decidedly different on that measure, and accordingly they get a broad set of choices that gets even broader with today’s announcement of a new pair of engines available in the Audi Q5 and A4 Allroad.

The two new engines are Audi’s 143hp 2.0 TDI diesel four-cylinder and the 180hp 2.0 TFSI gasoline four. Both are already available in other vehicles in Audi’s range, but moving the small powerplants to the entry-level position in the European lineup offers buyers a new choice for efficiency and savings.
