Audi A4

The Audi A4 facelift was launched in India on October 31, 2019, and with the mid-life update, the car comes with revamped exterior and styling upgrades, in line with the carmakers’ current design language. Offered in two variants – Premium Plus and Technology, the updated Audi A4 is currently available with only one 35 TFSI S tronic petrol engine. Thanks to the aluminium crankcase the engine’s weight is just over 100 kilograms. The Audi A4 rivals the likes of the Mercedes C-Class, BMW 3 Series and Jaguar XE in India.

Visually, the majority of the changes made to new Audi A4 facelift are centred on its face, featuring a redesigned single frame grille finished in dark chrome, flanked by a pair of sharper Metrix LED headlamps and boomerang-shaped LED daytime running lamps. The DRLs also double up as dynamic turn indicators, similar to those we have seen on some recently launched models. The new Audi A4 gets a revised bumper with hexagonal fog lamp housing which has faux silver inserts around the lamps. The profile of the sedan remains identical to its predecessor, save for the 10-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels shod in 225/50 section tyres which are a new addition. The rear of the A4 has seen modest changes, the most prominent one being the new LED tail lamps with dynamic turn indicators. Overall, the A4 gets a more appealing flush finish and looks captivating in the new gloss paint shades.

As for the cabin, the overall design and layout remain identical to the pre-facelift model. However, it gets new dual-tone interiors- black and Atlas beige and Black and Nougat Brown. The wood treatment has been replaced by new textured chrome inserts on the dash and central console as well. Mechanically, the new A4 remains unchanged continuing with the same petrol engine.
Under the hood, the A4 facelift gets a 1.4-litre, four-cylinder TFSI motor that belts out 148 bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a dual-clutch automatic transmission which propels the car from 0 to 100 kmph in 8.5 seconds and before reaching an electronically limited top speed of up to 210 kmph.
