Continuing its growth strategy with a focus on balanced performance solutions -- enhancements in technology, innovative design and driving dynamics that improve efficiency and performance, Audi announces numerous additions and enhancements to its 2014 Model Year lineup. Audi now offers TDI® clean diesel variants of the A6, A7, A8 and Q5, marking the first time Audi features a full lineup of TDI clean diesel vehicles in the U.S. The RS 7, the most powerful RS model ever offered in the U.S., joins the lineup this fall, representing the epitome of aesthetic design, innovative technology and track-tested performance. Also new to the lineup is the high-performance SQ5, the first-ever S variant of any Audi Q model. The R8 model line is now optimized with a new incredibly fast-shifting double-clutch transmission and the all-new R8 V10 plus model.

In addition to new model introductions, highlights of the 2014 Model Year line-up changes are as follows:

2014 Audi A4 Model Line

The Audi A4 receives several enhancements for the 2014 Model Year, including a turbocharged 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder engine with horsepower increased to 220. The Convenience package -- which includes Bluetooth®, Homelink®, Audi music interface and driver information system -- is standard on the Premium model. It also offers a new attractive S line style package, rear split folding seats in the Cold Weather package, and Audi MMI® Navigation. The Premium Plus and Prestige models feature a standard S line exterior and a new 18-inch 10-spoke exclusive RS-design wheel, giving the A4 a sportier overall appearance. Audi advanced key is offered as part of the Premium Plus package, and Audi drive select is now standard on all S4 models. New for 2014, both A4 and S4 models offer a Black Optic package with new high gloss black exterior trim and 19-inch Titanium Rotor design wheels.

2014 Audi allroad Model Line

For the 2014 model year, improvements have been made to the legendary Audi allroad, which returned to U.S. shores last year after a seven year hiatus. The allroad's 2.0 TFSI engine is increased to 220 horsepower, and the Convenience package is now standard on all models. The allroad is available in two new metallic colors: Cuvée Silver and Dakota Gray. Audi advanced key is now included in the Premium Plus package, and Prestige models will include manual side window sunshades. Audi side assist* will be optionally available as a standalone feature on the Premium Plus model.

Similar to the Audi A4 and allroad, the A5 2.0 TFSI also receives a boost in horsepower to 220, as well as the Convenience package as standard equipment. All A5 and S5 Premium Plus packages include Audi advanced key with Audi side assist* available as a standalone option, and the S line exterior will now adorn all A5 Prestige models. The S line competition package, which was introduced late in model year 2013, will continue to be offered on Premium Plus and Prestige A5 coupes. Additionally, the Black Optic package will return as an option on A5 and S5 Coupes, and the 19-inch Titanium Rotor wheel will be available on A5 and S5 Cabriolet models. Audi drive select will be standard on S5 models and included in the optional A5 Sport package.

In Model Year 2014, both the RS 5 Coupe and the newly-added open-air RS 5 Cabriolet continue to represent maximum performance in the A5 model line and feature the unfiltered exhaust note of the high revving 450 horsepower naturally aspirated V8. The Audi advanced key start button features a red ring surround, and Audi side assist is part of the Audi MMI Navigation plus package. The Comfort seat package with ventilated seats is now also available on the RS 5 Coupe, while the Cabriolet offers the Black Optic package.
