necessity and desire.
It’s surprising how easily want turns into need. Or maybe it’s not, especially when you consider the
redesigned Audi A4. The A4 delivers not only a driving experience designed to inspire, it provides
an unshakable rationale for the need to own it—you deserve a brilliant automobile. Step inside one,
and you’ll discover the luxury craftsmanship that fully complements the precision engineering. Drive
one, and you’ll only wonder why you didn’t try this sooner. By taking performance cues from the
Audi Sport® heritage and a confident style that generates envy in those who don’t have one, the A4
makes the case that the dierence between “want” and “need” ends at “have.”

Set apart by design.
Information Provided by:
Audi designers are out to make a point: Style isn’t shallow, it’s a distinctive mark of depth. In the Audi A4,
the thoughtfulness of our design is recognizable instantly. The A4 is a study of perfect proportions and sinuous lines, expressed in the exterior design. But while the world sees the unmistakable profile of an Audi, we
also designed it with the understanding that our most important audience sits in the driver’s seat. Which
is why everything, inside and out, was shaped with a sense of movement in mind—fluid and athletic, something designed to inspire the driver on an emotional level. It’s the subtle style that whispers sophistication
in a unique and distinctive way.
.01 – Design Lines
Design that delivers both charm and
energy is a design of character. From its
driver-centric cabin to the signature flow
of its Roofline, the A4 is designed with
movement built right into it.

.02 – LED Daytime Running Light Technology
Information Provided by:
Stylish and iconic, available LED daytime running lights help enhance
the unmistakable look and design of the Audi A4, as well as its visibility to other drivers, especially during the dawn and dusk hours.
A coupe d’état of traditional power.
It may sound counterintuitive, but power without control is just exposed weakness at high velocity. Our philosophy is
simple: power shouldn’t go unchecked. We realize it’s more important to look beyond horsepower and focus on what
true performance should actually feel like. That’s why Audi gave the A4 finely tuned driving dynamics and a lighter,
more ecient engine, making the A4 nimble enough to turn confidently through even the tightest corners while
supplying a potent measure of acceleration when you engage the throttle.

Your drive inspires us.
Just by your considering the Audi A4, we know you are the driven type. Someone who prefers the
distinctive to the ordinary. The progressive to the past. So it’s up to us to deliver an experience that
matches your drive. That’s why we put an inordinate amount of time into thinking about how your
drive will feel from the front seat. To us, the interior is a place to showcase beautifully appointed
designs and intuitive, dynamic controls. Everything is designed to work in concert to enhance your
drive. Fine materials and crafted finishes make the cabin a sophisticated statement of luxury. An
available three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles and MMI® controls adds to
the feel of performance. Smartly designed dynamic visual displays give you vital information simply
and easily. And crisp audio, perfectly calibrated, creates a sonic haven for you and your passengers.
Get inside the A4. You’ll see how our engineers were inspired to make your drive a revelation.
.03 – Decorative Inlays
With your choice of available inlays in beautiful
wood or aluminum, you will find unparalleled
craftsmanship and attention to design throughout
the interior. We use only the finest materials inside
the cabin to accentuate luxury and sport.

It’s how you feel on the inside.
Information Provided by:
We think a lot about materials at Audi. How they look, the pattern of their grain, their tactile qualities, and, especially, how they all work
together to create the design aesthetic. When we install the stylish appointments in the cabin of the Audi A4, we not only use the finest
leather on the seating surfaces, we craft a meticulous environment of harmonious luxury—it’s all part of our commitment to delivering
the best possible experience to Audi A4 owners. But in addition to your material comfort, we’re also concerned with your inner peace.
From the moment the available Audi advanced key lets you enter your vehicle without fumbling through your pockets, or the available
three-zone climate control lets you and your passengers choose individual temperature settings, you’ll know that we care how you feel
as much as what you feel. Our thoughtful interior technologies, like available MMI® and Audi advanced key, work perfectly with our
interior design to help make everything feel better on the inside.
.04 – Fit an d Finish
Everything in the A4 fits perfectly. Not only is extra attention paid
to the design of the shifter and the switch-gear found throughout
the cabin, the solid clicks of each interlocking component even give
you the sound of quality—quality you’ve come to expect from Audi.

It’s a bond between your car and the road.
Information Provided by:
It’s true that while the available Audi quattro® all-wheel drive may have been engineered to help drive through
inclement weather and in low-traction situations, the real magic of this advanced system is how it performs in
the dry. Power is distributed to all four wheels working in concert to help grip every corner while giving you the
optimal amount of power delivery where and when it’s needed. In other words, quattro® helps enhance performance by appropriately transferring power to the necessary wheels when accelerating and turning, so you have
confidence-inspiring performance when the road isn’t at its best. Inclement weather aside, the really gripping
story about quattro® is how it performs overall, forging a sure bond between you, your Audi A4 and the road.

Confidence-inspiring
Under ideal conditions, power is 40:60 rearwheel-biased to help maximize acceleration
and cornering, but the instant conditions become more challenging, the ratio is optimized
for superior grip and control.
Torque split
When accelerating out of a turn, up to 80% of the
power is mechanically shifted to the rear wheels,
where it’s best allocated to propel the vehicle to
your desired speed and onto the straightaway.
Once traveling in a straight line again, the 40:60
power distribution that quattro® delivers to the
front and rear wheels, respectively, gives you
maximum torque to push onward.
1 When dri ving during col d, rainy, snowy or ic y weather condi tions, ensure th at your vehicle is eq uipped with appropriate al l-season or wint erweather tires. Even w ith appropria te tires, you must always driv e in a manner appropr iate for the weat her, visibility an d road conditio ns.
Torque vectoring
It’s a handling feature that seems to respond
to your impulses before your steering input.
An evolution of cross-axle lock, this system
works within quattro®, while utilizing ESC and
ABS to help sense traction loss from the inside
cornering tire.
