A4 saloon buyers get the Audi Parking System Plus, which incorporates front and rear parking sensors and a visual display inside the car, while Avant estate models get tinted privacy glass.

The Black Edition upgrade is available for all A4 and A5 Coupe engine variants and carries a £1,250 premium over the S line specification. Audi claims the Black Edition kit is worth £1,400. Prices for the A4 range £27,220 to £38,095, and A5 Coupe prices from £31,175 to £39,330.  

Audi has also introduced Technik specification on the A4. The spec is based on the SE model and adds leather seats, DVD sat-nav, iPod connevtivity and Audi’s Parking System Plus.

Available on the 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre TDI diesel models, in saloon or Avant estate form, A4 Technik models carry a premium of £915 over their SE equivalents. The firm equates the extra kit as a £2,600 benefit over the price of the individually specified options. Prices range from £27,270 to £35,205.
