Blurring the lines between 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 difference between “want” and “need” ends at “have.”

Set apart by design.
.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.

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.

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 efficient 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.1,2 Our performance delivers the thrust of a broad torque curve and relies less on brute force. Ours is the kind of power that comes from precision tuning, and responsive and innovative engine design—engaging performance as a whole, rather than as just a series of numbers.

It’s how you feel on the inside.
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.
.0 4 – Fit and 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.

Confidence-inspiring
Under ideal conditions, power is 40:60 rear- wheel-biased to help maximize acceleration and cornering, but the instant conditions become more challenging, the ratio is optimized for superior grip and control.
It’s a bond between your car and the road.
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.1
1 When driving during cold, rainy, snowy or icy weather conditions, ensure that your vehicle is equipped with appropriate all-season or winterweather tires. Even with appropriate tires, you must always drive in a manner appropriate for the weather, visibility and road conditions.
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.
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.
