Previously:

The prices and specifications for the next generation of Audi's A4 sedan in South Africa have appeared on the manufacturer's website ahead of the range's local launch in the last week of February 2016.

From launch, the Audi A4's engine line-up will compriseturbopetrol and turbodiesel four-cylinder motors, but those who wantmore grunt, the fiery S4 is scheduled to arrivelater this year. The only manual gearbox can be found on the bottom of the range A4 1.4T FSI and the rest of the lineup features the popularS Tronicseven-speed twin-clutch transmission. From experience, we'd lean towardsthe clutchless option every time.

Despite being the entry-level A4, the 1.4T FSI comes with a fair amount of kit as standard, such aseight-speaker MMI Radio Plus system with Bluetooth connectivity,multi-function three-spoke steering wheel, rain sensor, cruise control, automatic climate control as well as 16-inch alloy wheels. Being an Audi, the list of options that you can specify for your car is rather extensive too. The range will only feature sedans, with no plan to bring in the Avant station wagon to the South African market.

There are two trim levels: Sport Line and Design Line.

Sport Line gives you17-inch wheels in a5-spoke Y design, a dark grey radiator grille with inlays in chrome, rear diffuser in dark grey, high-gloss package, 3-spoke multifunction leather steering wheel, sports suspension, front sports seats, tailpipe trims in chrome.

Design Line has17-inch wheels in a10-spoke crystal design, a dark chrome high-gloss radiator grilleand inlays in chrome, diffusor in dark chrome matte with diffusor clip in chrome, high-gloss package, 3-spoke leather steering wheel with multifunction and tailpipe trims in chrome.

The top-spec 2.0T FSI quattroalso gets an all-wheel drivetrain as well as 18-inch wheels.

We'll be driving the new Audi A4 on the 25th and 26th of February – look out for the first drive report soon.
