Audi A4: A Brief Recap
It gets a massive grille upfront with very bold and intimidating horizontal slats which in its entirety, resemble a Hexagon, and the Audi logo embedded into it. It is flanked by LED headlights on either side that house the LED DRLs as well, which double up as turn indicators. The bumper has been reworked and houses the fog lamps and the air intakes for better aerodynamic efficiency, according to Audi. On the sides, the A4 gets a rather plain set of 18” alloys, finished in silver, with redesigned doors. The rear carries a sleek look too. It features LED taillights and dual exhausts. The bumper has an aluminum strip running across it, which lightens up the rear.
On the inside, the cabin is a lot plusher now. It gets leather upholstery and a soft-touch dashboard along with many soft-touch elements. The steering now a bit more modern and the centre console is dominated by a large 10.1” touch infotainment system with Andriod Auto and Apple car play below which sit the horizontal AC flaps. It gets Virtua cockpit for the driver and a host of other features like Cruise control, ambient lighting, wireless charger etc. to name a few.
Powertrain
Under the hood is a major update. Audi has learnt its ways and replaced the 1.4L petrol with a more powerful 2.0L TFSI petrol engine which belts out 188BHP of peak power and 320Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 7-speed DSG gearbox with an Audi claimed time of 7.3 seconds to go from 0-100 kph, which in all sense, is quick.
