Now open for UK ordering, the latest Audi A4 models will retain significantly more of their value after three years or 60,000 miles than their prestige German rivals, according to predictions in the latest issue of CAP Monitor, the leading Industry guide to future values.

Normally quoted as the percentage of the total purchase price retained after the three- year period, the residual value figures predicted by CAP Monitor for a cross section of new A4 models are at least three per cent, and up to 7 per cent, higher than German equivalents. The A4 1.9 TDI SE, for example, is expected to achieve 42 per cent of its original purchase price, up to 7 per cent higher than key competitors, with the new 3.0 V6 TDI quattro running it close at 39 per cent, up to 6 per cent higher. In the petrol range, the 1.8 T SE Saloon is expected to hold a 3 per cent advantage over rivals at 40 per cent.
