Two new models, one featuring front-wheel drive and the other a six-speed manual transmission, are joining Audi's 2009 A4 lineup in the U.S. The front-wheel drive A4 2.0T FrontTrak combines the 211HP 2.0 TFSI 4-cylinder engine with a multitronic continuously variable transmission, or CVT for short, for an EPA rating of 23 mpg in city driving conditions and 30 mpg in highway driving. For the first time, Audi is offering a six-speed manual gearbox on the new 2009 A4 2.0T quattro. With this configuration, the A4 achieves EPA fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg in city driving and 30 mpg on highways.

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price on the front-wheel drive 2009 Audi A4 2.0T FrontTrak sedan with multitronic CVT transmission starts at $31,000 while the A4 2.0T quattro manual at $31,850. The first A4 2.0T FrontTrak CVT model will begin arriving at dealers this month, with the A4 2.0T quattro manual models expected to hit in dealerships by early 2009.
