The Audi A4 is a line of compact executive cars produced since 1994 past the German car manufacturer Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group.

The A4 has been built in five generations and is based on the Volkswagen Group B platform. The first generation A4 succeeded the Audi 80. The automaker's internal numbering treats the A4 as a continuation of the Audi 80 lineage, with the initial A4 designated as the B5-serial, followed past the B6, B7, B8, and the B9. The B8 and B9 versions of the A4 are built on the Volkswagen Grouping MLB platform shared with several models and brands beyond the Volkswagen Grouping.

The Audi A4 automobile layout consists of a front end-engine design, with transaxle-type transmissions mounted at the rear of the engine. The cars are front-wheel drive, or on some models, "quattro" all-wheel drive.

The A4 is available as a sedan and station wagon. Historically, the second (B6) and third generations (B7) of the A4 also included a convertible version. For the fourth generation (B8) and onwards, the convertible, forth with a new coupé and v-door liftback variant, was spun-off past Audi into a new nameplate called the Audi A5.

The kickoff generation Audi A4 (known internally every bit the Typ 8D) debuted in October 1994,^{[four] [v]} with production starting Nov 1994 and European sales commencing in January 1995 for the 1995 model year. Due north American sales later on began in September 1995 for the 1996 model yr.^[six] It was built on the Volkswagen Group B5 (PL45) platform, which it shared with the fourth generation Volkswagen Passat (B5, Typ 3B). Information technology had a front-mounted longitudinal engine and front-wheel drive. Many variations of the A4 were also bachelor with Audi'due south quattro four-wheel bulldoze system. The A4 was initially introduced as a four-door saloon/sedan; the Avant (estate/wagon) was introduced in November 1995 and went on sale in February 1996.

Development began in 1988, with the starting time design sketches being created later that year. By 1991, an exterior design past Imre Hasanic was called and frozen for November 1994 production by 1992. The interior design was subsequently finalized in 1992, with pilot product commencing in the first half of 1994. Evolution concluded in the third quarter of 1994, preceding Nov 1994 kickoff of production.^{[7] [8] [9] [10]}

A wide range of engines were available in European markets, betwixt 1.6 and 2.viii litres for petrol engines; and a 1.9-litre diesel engine bachelor with Volkswagen Group's VE engineering, capable of achieving a 90 PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). The 2.six and 2.8-litre V6 engines which had been carried over from the old 80/90 proved popular, although in Due north America, the 2.eight-litre engine was the only V6 that was available at that place until 1997. A 2.four-liter version was developed especially for the Thai market, where import duty jumped from 60 to 100 percent on cars of over 2,400 cc deportation.^[11]

The Audi A4 was the first model in the Volkswagen Group to characteristic the new 1.8-litre 20v engine with 5 valves per cylinder, based on the unit of measurement Audi Sport had developed for their Supertouring race car. A turbocharged 1.8T version produced 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) and 210 N⋅one thousand (155 lb⋅ft) torque. Moreover, a quattro GmbH special edition of the B5 one.8T was later available in Federal republic of germany and Europe, for which the engine's power output was raised to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and 235 N⋅m (173 lb⋅ft). Five-valve engineering was also added to a reengineered V6 family of engines in 1997, starting with the 2.8-litre V6 30v, which at present produced 193 PS (142 kW; 190 bhp), followed by a 2.4-litre V6 which was a downsize from the previous 2.half-dozen litre, 150 hp (112 kW) engine, simply with a ability increment to 165 PS (121 kW; 163 bhp).

Audi also debuted their new tiptronic automatic transmission on the B5 platform, based on the unit of measurement Porsche developed for their 964-generation 911. The transmission is a conventional automatic gearbox with a torque converter offer the commuter a fully-automated performance or manual selection of the gear ratios.

The B5 marked Audi'due south continued motion into the midsize luxury motorcar segment, having started this trajectory notably with later on model years of the preceding Audi 80/90 B4. Despite initial mechanical problems, overall build and associates quality were lauded both by the automotive printing and inside Audi and Volkswagen, and at the time, parent company Volkswagen alleged the B5 the company-wide build quality benchmark for all its other models.

Facelift (1999 –2001) [edit]

Sedan (facelift)

Avant (facelift)

The Audi A4 B5 saw virtually constant pocket-size changes and alterations throughout its vii-year run. Moreover, a pregnant facelift was introduced for the 1998 B5 model year at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The 2.viii-litre xxx-valve V6 engine replaced the 2.viii-litre 12-valve. A 2.five-litre V6 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel fuel engine with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) was standard on the Quattro. A six-speed transmission gearbox was available, as well as the new high-performance Audi S4, now part of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an Audi 100). Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles, and another pocket-size exterior/interior changes.

In mid-1998, the 1.viii 20vT engine bachelor outside Europe had its ability output raised to 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp). The previous KKK K03 turbocharger, although fundamentally unchanged, received revisions on the turbine side to prevent cracking due to heat.^{[ citation needed ]} The 12-valve V6 was replaced by the 30-valve unit which had been bachelor in Europe for 2 years.

A further facelift took place across the A4 and S4 platform in February 1999 as a 1999.5 model; changes were largely cosmetic but affected many components, such as both front and rear bumpers, the front and rear lights, the center console, and door handles.^[12] This facelift was known at Audi as a Grosse Produktaufwertung (Major Product Upgrade), as was likewise signified by facelift cars now carrying the denomination "8D2".

In 1999 Audi also debuted an even higher functioning RennSport model (rennsport literally translates every bit racing sport), the RS4 Avant, similar its predecessor RS2, available but in the Avant bodystyle.

The side by side A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on ten October 2000, now riding on the Volkswagen Group B6 (PL46) platform. The automobile'due south new styling was developed nether Peter Schreyer between 1996 and 1998, inspired by the Bauhaus pattern language of the C5 (2nd-generation) Audi A6 introduced in 1997. The 1.half dozen-litre base model powerplant remained unchanged, merely most other petrol/gasoline engines received either displacement increases, or ability upgrades. The ane.8-litre xx-valve Turbo was at present available in two additional versions, with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) or 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp), this one with a standard six-speed manual gearbox, while the naturally aspirated i.6-litre inline-iv engine and 2.8-litre V6 were replaced past 2.0-litre, and all-aluminium alloy iii.0-litre units, nevertheless with five valves per cylinder, the most powerful of which was capable of 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅thousand (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 1.nine Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engine was upgraded to 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) engineering science, and was now available with quattro permanent four-wheel drive, while the two.five V6 TDI high-end model was introduced with 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and standard quattro. This generation of quattro consisted of default of 50:l front end to rear dynamic torque distribution. A Bosch ESP 5.7 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system, with anti-lock braking organization (ABS), restriction assistance, and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) were standard across the range.

The Avant was introduced in June 2001 and arrived in European showrooms in September 2001.^{[ citation needed ]}

For 2002, Audi increased ability in the 1.8 Turbo engines to 183 PS (135 kW; 180 bhp) and 190 PS (140 kW; 187 bhp) – the 190 PS variant designated by a red 'T' on the boot lid. Available with four cycle drive and in the ii.5 TDI intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A 2.0 engine with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) was too available. A year later, Audi reintroduced the S4, at present powered by a 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.2 L V8 engine, as well as an A4 Cabriolet convertible variant ( Typ 8H), finally replacing the 80-based Audi Cabriolet which had been discontinued in 2000. Information technology included an electro-hydraulic operated roof, which lowered in under 30 seconds and incorporated some styling changes, such as trunk-coloured lower bumper and sill panels, which later plant their style to the saloon version. The Audi A4 Cabriolet version was co-adult and manufactured by Karmann.^[17]

Audi introduced a continuously variable transmission adult by LuK, named multitronic, which replaced the dated conventional automatic transmission on front-wheel drive models. At that place have been widespread complaints from consumers around the world that the transmission box is decumbent to electronic glitches too as mechanical issues.^{[18] [xix]}

Borrowing from the Audi A6, the boot was redesigned to remove the extension of the meridian edge with a smoother fold line. The rear light assemblies now formed part of the top line, these styling cues were eventually borrowed by other European too every bit Asian manufacturers.^[xx]

A sport packet named 'Ultra Sport' was introduced in the Northward American market shortly before the B6 was replaced by the B7. It included aluminium interior trim and door sills, "Due south line" steering bicycle, front and rear spoilers, side skirts, and quattro GmbH designed 18-inch RS4 alloy wheels.

Interior

Audi introduced a revised A4 in belatedly 2004, with the internal designation of B7. Although given a new platform designation, the B7 was essentially a heavily facelifted and revised version of the B6, with revised steering settings, suspension geometry,^{[ specify ]} new internal combustion engine ranges, navigation systems and chassis electronics (including a new advanced Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system). The front grille assembly inverse to a tall trapezoidal shape in the same manner as the C6 (3rd-generation) Audi A6; nevertheless, the dashboard and interior were most unchanged from the B6 aside from minor detailing.

Audi's internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 (passenger machine longitudinal platform, size 4, generation vi) for both B6 and B7 chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are besides carried over from the B6 A4 range, but now take an boosted identifying suffix – 8EC for the saloon, 8ED for the Avant, and 8HE for the Cabriolet.

The engine lineup received many additions. The 2005 introduction of Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) on the 2.0 TFSI and 3.2 V6 FSI petrol/gasoline engines, as well every bit other refinements, increased power output to 200 PS (147 kW; 197 bhp) and 255 PS (188 kW; 252 bhp), respectively. These engines both use a four-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior 5-valve pattern was incompatible with the FSI directly injection organisation (due to the siting of the fuel injector, now discharging directly into the combustion chamber). The 2.0 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine now combined Pumpe Düse (Unit of measurement Injector) (PD) engineering science with 16 valves, while the larger 2.five TDI V6 diesel was superseded by a 3.0 V6 TDI, offering a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during the year 2005 which was upgraded to a 233 PS (171 kW; 230 bhp) model in 2006. A 2.7 V6 TDI was added later on.

Torsen T-ii based quattro permanent iv-bike drive remained as an option on most A4 models. Audi retired its 5-speed manual transmissions in favour of a new Getrag 6-speed. Every bit before, multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), now with selectable '7-speeds', was an option on front end-bike bulldoze models, whilst a conventional ZF 6HP 6-speed tiptronic automatic transmission was an option on the quattro iv-wheel bulldoze models.

In addition to the Audi S4, which carried over the powertrain from the B6 S4 – Audi reintroduced the quattro GmbH developed Audi RS4 (RS for RennSport) to the lineup, for the outset time on the saloon/sedan and Cabriolet body, and with a naturally aspirated, only high-revving four.two-litre V8 FSI engine. Another inclusion on the RS4 was the latest generation Torsen T-iii Quattro 4WD organization, which uses a 'default' disproportionate forty:sixty front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias. This new disproportionate center differential was initially merely available on the RS4 but was added a year later on the S4. The remainder of the B7 A4 range all the same used the T-2 fifty:50 default dynamic separate center diff.

A variant, developed past quattro GmbH, was first introduced in May 2005, named "Audi A4 DTM Edition". It was inspired by Audi's race cars of the 2004 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and was reintroduced in 2006 every bit a regular option. The 2.0T FSI engine received revised software mapping to the ECU, which increased the output to 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 North⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. It was bachelor with front-wheel drive, or Quattro 4-wheel drive.

The B7 Cabriolet model arrived subsequently than the other 2 body variants, being first shown in belatedly 2005 and with sales beginning in February 2006. New on the Cabriolet was an entry-level 2.0 TDI version, which was not offered with the Multitronic CVT gearbox. The Cabriolet version was produced by Karmann until Feb 2009.^[24]

In 2007 Audi introduced a version of the B7 named the 'Special Edition', which built on the Southward-Line specification and also included the black optics pack, the RS4 fashion 8J Ten 18 '7-arm double-spoke' pattern alloy wheels, 2-tone Graphite/Black Volterra leather, three-spoke sports leather/Alcantara multi-function steering wheel with gear knob and paw brake handle in Alcantara with silverish stitching, ventilated cross-drilled front disc-brakes, blackness tailpipes and blackness roof track (Avant model only). It as well had a power increase of 20 PS, giving an output of 220 PS on the 2.0T model.

Co-ordinate to 2007 Swedish vehicle inspection data, the Audi A4 Avant with diesel engine is the most reliable vehicle available on the marketplace, with vehicle inspection rejection rate of 0.0% in iii-twelvemonth-old category.^{[25] [ failed verification ]}

SEAT Exeo [edit]

When the successor B8 A4 range was introduced, the B7 series A4 was restyled and rebadged as the SEAT Exeo in 2008 with changes to the front end and rear plus interior trim from the A4 Cabriolet. The entire Audi B7 A4 production line from Audi's Ingolstadt plant was dismantled and sent to Volkswagen Group's SEAT manufacturing plant in Martorell, Spain.^[26]

allroad quattro (pre-facelift)

Audi released the first official pictures of the B8 series A4 in August 2007 and unveiled the car to the public at the September 2007 Frankfurt Motor Evidence. Saloon/sedan and Avant (manor/railroad vehicle) models are offered. The Avant was unveiled to the public at the March 2008 Geneva Motor Show. For North America's destined models, the B8 continued in production for the 2016 model year, while Europe began deliveries on the 2016 B9 model.

The B8 A4 is built on a variant of the Audi Modular Longitudinal Platform, a platform that is as well used in the Audi A5 coupé. While prior A4 chassis were limited in wheelbase due to the relationship between the engine, manual and front beam, the MLP allows for a reduced front overhang, resulting in a greater wheelbase length without the same increase in overall length.^[32] This effectively redistributes the eye of gravity slightly rearwards, improving handling by better balancing vehicle mass between the front end and rear axles. The estimated static front end:rear weight ratio of the B8 A4 is approximately 55:45, depending on body mode and engine. The relocation of the steering rack in front of the beam also improves handling over previous A4 platforms.^{[ citation needed ]} Key to the implementation of MLB is the novel mounting of the differential in front end of the clutch. This is achieved by driving the flywheel/clutch remotely by means of a 'top chapeau' shaped drive plate, between which the differential lay shaft passes, whilst ability transmission to the final drive is via an inclined transfer shaft which runs the length of the manual unit of measurement. Whilst the platform retains Audi'south "overhung" engine mounting position, the front axle is now 152mm further forward than the previous B6/B7 generation platform.^[33] The transfer shaft, however, has the effect of creating a large "bulge" on one side of the manual tunnel, which on correct-paw bulldoze versions forces the pedals to be desperately start, which has attracted criticism from the British motoring press in particular.

The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase by 160 millimetres (6.3 in) and in length by 117 millimetres (four.6 in) over the prior B7, which has immune for increased rear seating legroom. Although the overall dimensions take increased, the curb weight has dropped some 10%. The boot (trunk) has also increased to 480 litres (17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant volition have a maximum capacity of 1,430 L (fifty.5 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.

Reception has been mixed, with praise for the Audi A4'southward increased size, giving it all-time-in-class rear legroom and torso space in the compact executive car segment.^[34] Its inline-4 2.0 TFSI engine, while efficient providing enough of torque, was considered lacking and less refined compared to 6-cylinder engines of lighter rivals who posted faster acceleration times. Nonetheless, the Audi S4 sports sedan has been well-received for its V6 iii.0 TFSI engine's power and efficiency.^{[35] [36] [37]}

The B8 A4 was facelifted in early 2012.

During a model, bicycle changes are fabricated to integrate new technologies and to keep the model competitive. These changes are referenced based on the model twelvemonth (MY) of the car. In Australia, the B8 has undergone 2 revisions leading to three variants, the B8, B8 MY10^[38] and B8 MY11.

The quattro permanent four-wheel bulldoze organization uses the latest Torsen T-3 centre differential, with a default 40:threescore front to rear asymmetric torque distribution ratio (used first on the B7 RS4) as standard. (Previous A4 Quattro models split torque with a default front:rear 50:l). The additional torque bias applied to the rear wheels helps mimic the driving dynamics of rear-wheel drive cars.

Audi was reported to end offering 3.2L V6 models in 2010 model year,^[47] but however offers them every bit of Baronial 2011 (Germany).

All petrol engines use Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), and all diesel engines apply the mutual rail fuel delivery (with a pressure of 1,600 confined (23,000 psi)), with piezo injectors of their Turbocharged Direct Injection engines.

With the 2012 facelift (the B8.v) came additional 163ps TDIe and TDI Ultra engines, the latter requiring the addition of adblue assuasive for cleaner running, both of which fell into the lower emissions taxation bracket for the U.k., yet presenting a significant performance comeback over the base 136ps and mid-range 143ps models.^[48]

Transmissions [edit]

In 2009, Audi announced the seven-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission every bit an choice for A4 in the UK and European markets.^[49]

All A4L models include Speed 8 multitronic continuously variable/manual transmission, except for A4L 3.2 FSI quattro, which includes Tiptronic automated transmission.

Volkswagen settled a class-activity lawsuit in 2013 involving the failures of the CVT transmission in its Audi A4 and A6 automobiles for model years 2002–2006.^[50]
