What’s New?
Black Edition and Urban Edition models boast additional cosmetic and functional features and will be available in the market from early 2024, along with compelling Audi Assured offers.

The first models to receive the Black Edition treatment are Audi South Africa’s sophisticated A4 and S4 sedan ranges. On the A4, the Black Edition package can be selected for the 35 TFSI, 35 TDI and 40 TFSI models, while it’s also an option on the S4 TFSI.
Only 100 A4 Black Edition versions will be imported to South Africa, making these derivatives a highly unique sight on our roads. In the case of the A4 Black Edition, the cost of this special-edition model is significantly lower were these items to be optioned individually. These models are available immediately.

Some of the signature features of the A4 Black Edition models include Black Styling Package, including black badging, Matrix LED headlights, Privacy glass, 19-inch alloy wheels and a glass sunroof.

More models:
In 2024, Audi South Africa will extend the Black Edition treatment to a number of key product ranges, including the Q2, A3 and S3, A5 and S5, Q3 SUV and Sportback, plus the Q5 SUV and Sportback. These will be rolled out progressively throughout the year.

The South African Reserve Bank’s decision to lower interest rates by 25 basis points – bringing rates to their lowest level in more than two years – has been cautiously welcomed by the retail motor sector.
“South Africa’s youth are talented, hungry to learn and eager to work, but they need the opportunity to gain real-world skills that translate into jobs,” says Thembinkosi Pantsi, Vice-Chairperson of the National Automobile Dealers’ Association (NADA).
