The Distinguished Audi A4

Although the exterior of the new A4 has undergone some subtle enhancements, sporting sharper lines and a more distinct trapezoid grille, the family resemblance in this one is a nice feature considering that the A4 design is already quite distinguished.

There are three trim levels available for the new A4, with plenty of available upgrades. All levels are equipped with a 2.0 L turbocharged four cylinder motor. The quattro gets 0-60 in just 5.7 seconds, and has a combined mpg of 27. The train is a seven speed dual clutch automatic that comes with DriveSelect, thus we are granted four modes of vehicle operation- comfort, auto, dynamic, and individual. Individual drive mode allows the driver to customize shifts points, steering assistance, damper control, and adaptive cruise control operation.

The 2017 Audi A4 comes loaded with safety features- such as extremely effective braking systems, predictable handling, and the standard pre-sense basic system which tightens seat belts, primes brakes, activates hazard flashers, and starts closing the windows and sunroof if the vehicle senses an imminent crash. The A4 also has an optional Virtual Cockpit with a 12.3 inch display that delivers vibrant colors at 60 frames per second in addition to the standard center mounted screen. All of the safety and technology features are cutting edge and extremely easy to use and navigate.

The interior of the new A4 has been given a dramatic redesign for improved usability and aesthetic. The first thing you notice when you get into the new Audi is the impeccably clean and concise dashboard layout. As a matter of fact, the entire interior is impressively ergonomic and comfortable. The placement of everything makes perfect sense, and none of the features are flashy or cheap looking. In fact the A4 comes standard with leather upholstery and ambient LED lighting set to give you an understated, yet elegant feel. The border less rear-view mirror is an exceptional touch.

Overall, the new Audi A4 has been preened very well. Top of the line features and performance aren’t cheap, but the cost to own is notably low and the value of the car is undeniable. If you’re in the market for a car this year, you’d be doing yourself a disservice not to go with the new A4.
