German luxury car manufacturers Audi have launched the new diesel variant of the A4 sedan badged the 35 TDI.

At the launch of the A4 TDI, Rahil Ansari, Head, Audi India said “It is never an easy task to design a successor to a best-selling model, but that is precisely what makes the whole process so very exciting. With the all-new Audi A4 35 TDI, we are yet again setting the bar a notch higher. The all-new Audi A4 35 TDI is a ground-breaking synthesis of technology and aesthetics. The technology available on the earlier Audi A4 has been redeveloped so that it yet again defines the benchmark in the segment. With a tremendous response received on A4 30 TFSI, we are now introducing the A4 with a diesel engine which is even more powerful than the previous generation A4. Whether its efficiency, drivability or high-class infotainment, the new Audi A4 35 TDI once again raises the bar in its segment”.
