The LED headlights too are new and the LED daytime running lights (DRLs) too get a new pattern, differentiating it from the previous model.

   The dashboard design is similar to the outgoing model, but the 10.1-inch touchscreen is brand new.

3. New Infotainment System: The biggest highlight inside the cabin is the new 10.1-inch MMI screen. It's an all-new unit and gets smartphone connectivity in the form of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The feel is very tactile, it offers a capacitive touch and it is very easy to use.
4. New Engine: The new A4 gets a new 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine under the hood which makes 187 bhp and 320 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired to a seven-speed S-tronic gearbox.

Cons

2. No Diesel Engine: The Audi A4 too continues with the brand's no-diesel policy and gets the 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine as standard.
3. Still Looks Dated: Though the new Audi A4 has been updated with new and modern features, it still looks dated compared to the competitors.
