Audi A4

The interiors of the A4 are luxurious but simple and practical. They don’t go overboard in terms of design and the ergonomics are spot on, making it a very enjoyable car to sit in and drive. There is lots of room for all occupants and the seats are also quite comfortable. The centre console and dashboard are setup very nicely and the craftsmanship is very good giving a sense of high quality throughout the cabin.

The A4 comes with a very well refined 1.8 TFSI petrol engine that is a 4-cylinder unit producing 168bhp and 320Nm of torque, and this provides excellent performance. There is also a 2.0 litre TFSI with more power, and a 2.0 TDI diesel unit with 4-cylinders as well as a 3.0 litre TDI with 6-cylinders and with powerful figures. All the engine specs are brilliant and the units are very well built for top performance. All the engines are also mated a fantastically responsive 8-speed gearbox.

The A4 is a great car to drive. We had with us the 1.8 litre TFSI petrol unit that provided great power. All the 168 horses work effortlessly to pull you forward as soon you press down the throttle. The gear changes are incredibly smooth and on time and the paddle shifts are good if you want to drive in manual mode. The ride quality is simply fantastic. The suspension is setup perfectly for highway cruising as well as for the city streets, but we did find the steering to be just a little to light and not direct. Feedback from the car’s chassis is good and you feel properly in control when driving. Overall the car handles quite well and performs really well.

The A4 comes with a Start-Stop system and a efficiency drive select mode that helps to reduce CO2 emissions and keep your mileage up, but we still got a fuel economy of just 11kmpl on average.

The A4 comes stocked with great features such as automatic climate control, power steering with mounted steering controls, an inbuilt audio system with a centre console screen and 10 speakers, plus Bluetooth. There is also cruise control, auto wipers, electric parking brake and keyless entry.

Safety features included ESP, airbags and rear parking sensors.

All Audi vehicles are built very well and use the highest quality materials you can find on a car. The fit and finish is very good and the car is built on a solid and strong chassis. Overall the quality is simply fantastic and the car is highly reliable. The only issue you will face is high maintenance costs.

The A4 is a great entry-level luxury car and it comes with some great features. Its value is well worth the money you pay for it.

The A4 is a popular car the world over because it is quite simply a very good car. It is not however the most engaging drivers car, but does have good power and provides a great ride. It might look simple but everyone knows just what this car can do.
