Audi reports that some 68 per cent of the entire Audi model range, including all of their main volume selling variants, will drop in price with the arrival of new VRT changes from 1 July. Models to benefit from this price reduction include the A3 Cabriolet petrol (down €2,200), A4 petrol (down €2,300), A4 TDI (down by €6,700 in the 2.0 TDI 143bhp version), A5 petrol (down €4,900) and A6 saloon, avant and allroad (down €7,070, €7,070 and €4,740 respectively).

Also set to benefit is the new diesel TT Coupe and Roadster, first versions of which will arrive here shortly. Thanks to their Band B rating, the new 2.0-litre TDI 170bhp, 6-speed manual quattro Coupe, priced at €44,180 (ex works) will have an ultra-low road tax rating of just €150. Other elements in the Audi package include cuts in CO2 emissions in the case of A3, A4 and A5 and an improvement in equipment levels in the A5 involving the addition of electric seat adjustment and multifunction steering wheel to all versions.

A number of new engines have also been launched in A4, TT and A5 models as part of the 2009 Audi model year line up. These include new petrol and diesel units comprising 2.0 TFSI and 2.0, 2.7 and 3.0-litre TDi models in the 120bhp - 240bhp power range with manual, tiptronic, s-tronic and Quattro permanent four wheel drive transmission, depending on model choice.
