Audi taking orders for CNG A4 Avant and A5 Sportback g-trons

Orders for Audi A4 Avant g-tron and A5 Sportback g-tron with new design can be placed as of November.

Audi natural gas models combine ecology and economy: The Audi A4 Avant g-tron and A5 Sportback g-tron feature a new, sporty design and a state-of-the-art touch operating concept. Customers in Germany can order both models starting November 21 – the Audi A4 Avant 40 g-tron* at a base price of EUR 43,200 and the Audi A5 Sportback 40 g-tron* for EUR 45,100. They use a 2.0 TFSI gasoline engine, which is specially modified for operation with CNG (compressed natural gas) and has an output of 125 kW (170 PS). The maximum torque of 270 Nm (199.1 lb-ft) is available between 1,650 and 4,400 rpm. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) takes 8.4 seconds; the top speed for the A4 Avant g-tron is 221 km/h (137.3 mph) (combined CNG consumption in kg/100 km**: 4.1–3.9; combined CO2 emissions in g/km (CNG)**: 113–105 (181.9–169.0 g/mi)) and the A5 Sportback g-tron 224 km/h (combined CNG consumption in kg/100 km**: 4.1–3.8; combined CO2 emissions in g/km (CNG)**: 111–103 (178.6–165.8 g/mi)). A standard seven speed S-tronic transfers the drive torque of the two-liter TFSI engine to the front wheels.

The four Type IV cylindrical natural gas tanks with a lightweight design, which store 17.3 kg (38.1 lb) of CNG at a pressure of 200 bar, are under the rear of the vehicle

The calculated range of the A5 Sportback g-tron based on the combined natural gas consumption (NEDC) is 420 km (261.0 mi) to 455 km (282.7 mi); for the A4 Avant g-tron, it is 420 km (261.0 mi) to 440 km (273.4 mi). If the quantity of natural gas in the tanks falls below a specific value in the range 0.4 kg (0.9 lb) to 1.4 kg (3.09 lb), the 2.0 TFSI switches to gasoline operation. This depends on the CNG injection pressure and gas temperature. The filler necks for natural gas and gasoline are located under a shared tank flap.
