Audi Expands A5 Range with 134HP and 161HP

These days, downsizing doesn't occur only to engine displacement but also to engine outputs. Case in point, the introduction of two new entry-level diesel engines for Audi's A5 Sportback and A5 Coupe models. The new 136PS (134bhp) and 163PS (161bhp) 2.0-liter TDIe diesels will be offered in parallel to the existing 143PS (141bhp) and 177PS (175bhp) 2.0-liter TDI units, the difference being that the 'e' engines are less powerful but more fuel-efficient.
The 2.0-litre TDIe 163PS is available on both the A5 models, linked exclusively to six-speed manual transmission.
It propels the Sportback from rest to 62mph (100km/h) in 9.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 132mph (212km/h), while returning up to 62.8mpg UK (52.3mpg US or 4.5lt/100km) with a CO2 output of 118g/km.
In the Coupe, the 163PS engine pushes it to 62mph in 8.4 seconds on the way to a top speed of 140mph (225mph), and raises fuel economy up to 64.2mpg UK (53.5mpg US or 4.4lt/100km) and taking CO2 to 115g/km.
The 136PS TDIe is only available on the Sportback, which it accelerates to 62mph in 9.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 132mph (212km/h), while recording a fuel economy of up to 64.2mpg (53.5mpg US or 4.4lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of 117g/km.
In the UK, on the road prices start from £27,320.
