New Audi A4 (2012) arrives: Audi A4, S4 and A4 Allroad

New Audi A4 (2012) revealed together with 2012 S4 and A4 Allroad The current Audi A4 has been with us since 2008, but with the Mercedes C Class and the BMW 3 Series upping their game it’s time for Audi to strike back with an updated A4 for 2012. So we get treated to a complete refresh across the A4 range from Audi, with new versions of the Audi A4, A4 Estate, S4, S4 Estate and the 4WD Audi A4 Allroad Quattro. The 2012 Audi A4 isn’t a new, ground-up A4, rather it’s a comprehensive re-work of the current A4 with significant styling updates – inside and out – and a plethora of new engines.

Toyota Prius plug-in hits UK

The Toyota Prius plug-in arrives in the UK The next step in the Toyota Prius story is the plug-in Prius, which adds some Lithium-Ion batteries to the mix and the ability to plug the Prius in to the mains to get a usable kick-start to your day’s motoring, with an electric only range of up to 12.5 miles – around double the range a regular Prius can manage when fully charged. Toyota announced plans to get 500 Prius Plug-in Hybrids on the roads in 2010 back in September last year to evaluate their real-world performance before the plug-in gets a proper release – probably in 2012. Toyota are leasing 20 of the Prius plug-ins to a handful of public and private businesses in London as part of their plan to develop the Prius plug-in, and reduce the company’s overall CO2 levels – something which is sadly required by legislation.
