There is 48V mild-hybrid technology on the diesel variant and petrol V6 that you’ll find in the range-topping S5 too.

The 2.0-litre diesel comes with either front-wheel-drive or Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system and produces 201bhp, 400Nm of torque, taking the car from 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds for the former while the latter does it in 6.7 seconds.
