First customer delivers are expected from mid February 2012.
Highlights include exterior and interior design revisions, new colour schemes, equipment updates and an updated range of TFSI and TDI engines. Consumption levels have dropped by 11 per cent on average, despite the increase in power and torque of many of the engines. In the Saloon and Avant, six TDI and four petrol engines are offered.
For Irish customers, the 2.0TDI 120 model sips less diesel and emits 119g C02.
Engine start/stop and recuperation is standard across the range. Both the SE and S Line variants now come with higher specification.
