Audi will push on with its introduction of diesel models at next week's LA motor show
Audi is to add four new diesel models in its North American range as the firm continues to push sales of oil-burners in the US.
To be launched at next week’s Los Angeles motor show, the A6, A7, A8 and Q5 will all get variations on the 3.0-litre V6 diesel, branded in the US as CleanDiesel.
In the A8, the only car that Audi has released specifications for, the engine develops 240hp and 406lb ft.
The addition of the four new models increases Audi’s diesel range in the States to six – the A3 is availalble with a 2.0-litre TDI, and the Q7 has used the 3.0-litre V6 since September – giving it more diesels than rivals BMW and Mercedes.
