<br />Audi has just introduced a long-wheelbase version of its new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/27/new-audi-a4-appears-on-web/">A4</a> for the Chinese market, joining the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/20/audi-gives-backseat-passengers-more-entertainment-in-shanghai/">long-wheelbase A6</a> that has been available in China since 2000. While many automakers have recognized the Chinese desire to have a little extra length, this is the first time a vehicle in this size class has been elongated. Labeled as a premium B segment car in China, the Audi A4L's wheelbase is 2.36 inches longer than the standard A4, most of which gets added to rear-seat legroom. The A4L will be built in Changchun, China and will feature a chassis specially designed to handle the sometimes-rough Chinese road conditions. Engine options will be the 180-hp 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder and the 265-hp 3.2 FSI six-cylinder. The Audi A4L will debut at the Guangzhou Motor Show on November 18, and should be in Chinese dealerships by January 2009. <span style="font-style: italic;">Full press release after the jump.<br /><br style="font-style: italic;" /></span><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-audi-a4l/">2009 Audi A4L</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-audi-a4l/1162993/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/audia4l---1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-audi-a4l/1162994/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/audia4l---2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: Audi]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/17/audi-intros-long-wheelbase-a4-for-china/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Audi intros long-wheelbase A4L for China</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/17/audi-intros-long-wheelbase-a4-for-china/">Audi intros long-wheelbase A4L for China</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:28:00 EST.
