2010 Audi A4/S4 Media Information

The Audi A3 has both pioneered and led a new premium compact car segment since its U.S. introduction in 2005. In 2009, worldwide sales of the successful A3 had exceeded 1.9 million, and that number continues to swell today. To ensure that the 2010 A3 stays ahead of the ever-growing pack, Audi has made available a number of upscale features, including upgraded wheels and standard Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights on Premium Plus models. Every 2010 A3 showcases the sporty Audi DNA with S line exterior upgrades now standard on all models and quattroо all-wheel drive available with the award-winning 2.0 TFSIо engine.
The pulling power of torque is the signature performance feature in all diesel models, and the A3 TDI clean diesel is no different. Offering 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, this model performs briskly and efficiently with unmatched performance with its EPA-estimated 30/42 city/highway fuel efficiency. With a U.S. dealer market introduction set for early December 2009, this new clean diesel engine variant is expected to become more than 40 percent of A3 sales volumes in the U.S.
2010 Audi A4 sedan/Avant and S4 sedan
More than a midsize luxury sedan, the Audi A4 has been vital to Audi’s growth as a brand in the U.S. Currently, the A4 sedan alone sells more than 40,000 units annually in the U.S., while competing with the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Competition in the segment is fiercer than ever, with new Japanese rivals joining each year. Despite this, the A4 2.0T manages best-in-class fuel economy, while also posting better 0-60 mph times and torque statistics than its six-cylinder, all-wheel drive competition (BMW 328xi, Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic, and Lexus IS250 AWD). It also is listed as a “Top Safety Pick” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (iihs.org). In 2010, the bar is raised even higher, with features like third-generation MMI featuring SIRIUSо traffic, and LED taillights on Premium Plus and Prestige models. Prestige models now will include navigation and voice control, while Premium models will see Bluetooth and Homelink packaged together as an option.
