Nov. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Audi has confirmed to Inside Line today that its plans to finally bring the US the Audi A4 Allroad are coming to fruition for 2013.  Also coming for the 2013 model year are the revised A4, A4 Avant, and S4.  This is great news but rather bitter sweet as no S4 Avant has been confirmed for the US as of yet.

The ‘revisions’ seen for the new A4 models for 2013 are similar to those given to the 2013 A5 lineup.  These include new headlights with LED daytime running lights, a new mono-block girll up front, and new LED tail lights in the rear.

The bigger news is regarding the powertrains.  In Europe the A4 buyer gets a choice of six, yes 6, TDI diesel engines and four different FSI gas engines.  All of which feature forced induction and direct injection.  Word on which of these will make it to the States is still up in the air.

What we do know is that the S4 will be receiving a revised 3.0L TFSI V6 making 329hp and 325 lb-ft of torque.  This is down from the 2012 model which makes 333hp and 325 lb-ft or torque.  The slight change in output does net a slight increase in fuel economy as well averaging 29mpg on European cycle.

Inside the A4 lineup changes are very minor.  A new steering wheel and shift knob are present, just as with the A5 lineup.  Also new is the choice of the gorgeous wood trims we have seen in the new A6 and A7 as of late.

Probably the biggest news to us here in the States is the arrival of the A4 Allroad for 2013.  The last Allroad seen here on US shores was the A6 Allroad which left us wanting more in 2005.  This car is based on the A4 Avant but receives some modest off-road treatment like a raised suspension and injection molded plastic side skirts and lower front and rear fascias.

As for pricing, Audi hasn’t release this yet, but expect it to not be far off of the current models.  For the 2012 model year the A4 Sedan starts at $32,500, the A4 Avant at $36,400, and the S4 Sedan from $47,300.  As for the 2013 Audi A4 Allroad, expect that to start somewhere right around the $40,000 mark.

Look for the newly revised A4, A4 Avant, S4, and new-to-the-US A4 Avant in showrooms next June.
