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 congenital in five generations and is based on the Volkswagen Grouping B platform. The beginning 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 Group.

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

The A4 is available as a sedan and station wagon. Historically, the second (B6) and tertiary 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 five-door liftback variant, was spun-off by Audi into a new nameplate called the Audi A5.

Avant (pre-facelift)

The outset generation Audi A4 (known internally every bit the Typ 8D) debuted in October 1994,^{[4] [5]} with production starting Nov 1994 and European sales commencing in January 1995 for the 1995 model year. North American sales subsequently began in September 1995 for the 1996 model yr.^[vi] It was congenital on the Volkswagen Group B5 (PL45) platform, which it shared with the quaternary generation Volkswagen Passat (B5, Typ 3B). It had a front end-mounted longitudinal engine and front end-bicycle drive. Many variations of the A4 were likewise available with Audi's quattro four-wheel drive system. The A4 was initially introduced as a iv-door saloon/sedan; the Avant (manor/railroad vehicle) was introduced in November 1995 and went on auction in February 1996.

Development began in 1988, with the first blueprint sketches being created subsequently that year. By 1991, an exterior blueprint by Imre Hasanic was chosen and frozen for November 1994 product past 1992. The interior design was later finalized in 1992, with pilot product commencing in the first half of 1994. Development concluded in the third quarter of 1994, preceding Nov 1994 start of production.^{[7] [eight] [ix] [x]}

A wide range of engines were available in European markets, between 1.6 and ii.8 litres for petrol engines; and a 1.9-litre diesel engine available with Volkswagen Grouping's VE technology, capable of achieving a xc PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). The ii.half dozen and two.eight-litre V6 engines which had been carried over from the old 80/90 proved pop, although in North America, the 2.viii-litre engine was the only V6 that was available in that location until 1997. A 2.4-liter version was adult especially for the Thai market, where import duty jumped from 60 to 100 pct on cars of over ii,400 cc deportation.^[11]

The Audi A4 was the starting time model in the Volkswagen Group to feature the new 1.8-litre 20v engine with v valves per cylinder, based on the unit Audi Sport had developed for their Supertouring race auto. A turbocharged 1.8T version produced 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) and 210 N⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) torque. Moreover, a quattro GmbH special edition of the B5 i.8T was later bachelor in Frg and Europe, for which the engine's power output was raised to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and 235 Northward⋅k (173 lb⋅ft). V-valve technology was also added to a reengineered V6 family of engines in 1997, starting with the ii.8-litre V6 30v, which now produced 193 PS (142 kW; 190 bhp), followed by a ii.4-litre V6 which was a downsize from the previous 2.6 litre, 150 hp (112 kW) engine, but with a ability increase to 165 PS (121 kW; 163 bhp).

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

The B5 marked Audi'southward connected motility into the midsize luxury car segment, having started this trajectory notably with later model years of the preceding Audi 80/90 B4. Despite initial mechanical bug, overall build and assembly quality were lauded both by the automotive printing and inside Audi and Volkswagen, and at the fourth dimension, parent company Volkswagen declared the B5 the visitor-wide build quality benchmark for all its other models.

Facelift (1999 –2001) [edit]

Sedan (facelift)

Avant (facelift)

The Audi A4 B5 saw nearly constant small changes and alterations throughout its seven-year run. Moreover, a significant facelift was introduced for the 1998 B5 model year at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show, with sales get-go in Europe in early 1998. The 2.8-litre xxx-valve V6 engine replaced the two.eight-litre 12-valve. A 2.5-litre V6 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) was standard on the Quattro. A half-dozen-speed manual gearbox was available, too every bit the new high-performance Audi S4, now role of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an Audi 100). Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles, and another minor exterior/interior changes.

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

A farther facelift took identify across the A4 and S4 platform in February 1999 equally a 1999.5 model; changes were largely cosmetic simply affected many components, such as both front and rear bumpers, the front and rear lights, the heart console, and door handles.^[12] This facelift was known at Audi as a Grosse Produktaufwertung (Major Product Upgrade), as was also signified past facelift cars at present carrying the denomination "8D2".

In 1999 Audi also debuted an fifty-fifty college functioning RennSport model (rennsport literally translates as racing sport), the RS4 Avant, like its predecessor RS2, available only in the Avant bodystyle.

The next A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on 10 October 2000, at present riding on the Volkswagen Group B6 (PL46) platform. The car'southward new styling was developed under Peter Schreyer between 1996 and 1998, inspired by the Bauhaus design language of the C5 (second-generation) Audi A6 introduced in 1997. The 1.6-litre base model powerplant remained unchanged, but most other petrol/gasoline engines received either displacement increases, or power upgrades. The 1.8-litre twenty-valve Turbo was now available in two boosted 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 1.six-litre inline-four engine and 2.8-litre V6 were replaced by ii.0-litre, and all-aluminium alloy 3.0-litre units, however with five valves per cylinder, the almost powerful of which was capable of 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 1.9 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engine was upgraded to 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) engineering science, and was at present bachelor with quattro permanent 4-bicycle drive, while the ii.5 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 50:50 front to rear dynamic torque distribution. A Bosch ESP v.7 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system, with anti-lock braking arrangement (ABS), brake help, 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 power 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 past a red 'T' on the boot lid. Available with 4 wheel drive and in the two.5 TDI intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A two.0 engine with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) was besides available. A year later, Audi reintroduced the S4, now powered by a 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.2 Fifty V8 engine, equally well as an A4 Cabriolet convertible variant ( Typ 8H), finally replacing the 80-based Audi Cabriolet which had been discontinued in 2000. It included an electro-hydraulic operated roof, which lowered in under thirty seconds and incorporated some styling changes, such equally body-coloured lower bumper and sill panels, which later found their way to the saloon version. The Audi A4 Cabriolet version was co-developed and manufactured by Karmann.^[17]

Audi introduced a continuously variable transmission developed by LuK, named multitronic, which replaced the dated conventional automatic transmission on front-wheel drive models. There have been widespread complaints from consumers around the world that the manual box is prone to electronic glitches equally well as mechanical problems.^{[18] [19]}

Borrowing from the Audi A6, the kick was redesigned to remove the extension of the top edge with a smoother fold line. The rear lite assemblies now formed part of the summit line, these styling cues were somewhen borrowed past other European every bit well every bit Asian manufacturers.^[20]

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

Interior

Audi introduced a revised A4 in late 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 avant-garde Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Plan (ESP) system). The forepart grille assembly changed to a alpine trapezoidal shape in the aforementioned manner as the C6 (3rd-generation) Audi A6; even so, the dashboard and interior were almost unchanged from the B6 aside from modest detailing.

Audi's internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 (passenger car longitudinal platform, size 4, generation 6) for both B6 and B7 chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are too carried over from the B6 A4 range, merely now have an additional 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.two V6 FSI petrol/gasoline engines, equally well as other refinements, increased power output to 200 PS (147 kW; 197 bhp) and 255 PS (188 kW; 252 bhp), respectively. These engines both utilize a four-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior 5-valve design was incompatible with the FSI directly injection system (due to the siting of the fuel injector, now discharging directly into the combustion chamber). The 2.0 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel fuel engine now combined Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology with 16 valves, while the larger 2.five TDI V6 diesel was superseded by a iii.0 V6 TDI, offering a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during the yr 2005 which was upgraded to a 233 PS (171 kW; 230 bhp) model in 2006. A 2.vii V6 TDI was added subsequently.

Torsen T-ii based quattro permanent four-bike drive remained as an pick on most A4 models. Audi retired its 5-speed transmission transmissions in favour of a new Getrag 6-speed. Equally earlier, multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), now with selectable 'seven-speeds', was an pick on front end-wheel drive models, whilst a conventional ZF 6HP 6-speed tiptronic automatic transmission was an option on the quattro four-cycle drive 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 RennSouthport) to the lineup, for the beginning time on the saloon/sedan and Cabriolet body, and with a naturally aspirated, but high-revving 4.2-litre V8 FSI engine. Another inclusion on the RS4 was the latest generation Torsen T-3 Quattro 4WD organization, which uses a 'default' asymmetric 40:sixty front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias. This new asymmetric center differential was initially but available on the RS4 only was added a year later on the S4. The rest of the B7 A4 range still used the T-two 50:50 default dynamic split center diff.

A variant, adult by quattro GmbH, was start 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 as a regular selection. The two.0T FSI engine received revised software mapping to the ECU, which increased the output to 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. It was available with front-wheel bulldoze, or Quattro four-cycle drive.

The B7 Cabriolet model arrived subsequently than the other two body variants, being first shown in late 2005 and with sales beginning in February 2006. New on the Cabriolet was an entry-level ii.0 TDI version, which was not offered with the Multitronic CVT gearbox. The Cabriolet version was produced past Karmann until February 2009.^[24]

In 2007 Audi introduced a version of the B7 named the 'Special Edition', which built on the S-Line specification and too included the black optics pack, the RS4 fashion 8J Ten eighteen '7-arm double-spoke' design blend wheels, 2-tone Graphite/Black Volterra leather, three-spoke sports leather/Alcantara multi-function steering wheel with gear knob and hand brake handle in Alcantara with silver stitching, ventilated cross-drilled front end disc-brakes, blackness tailpipes and blackness roof rails (Avant model only). Information technology also had a ability increase of xx PS, giving an output of 220 PS on the 2.0T model.

According to 2007 Swedish vehicle inspection data, the Audi A4 Avant with diesel engine is the well-nigh reliable vehicle available on the marketplace, with vehicle inspection rejection charge per unit of 0.0% in three-year-former 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 and rear plus interior trim from the A4 Cabriolet. The entire Audi B7 A4 production line from Audi'due south Ingolstadt plant was dismantled and sent to Volkswagen Grouping'southward SEAT factory in Martorell, Espana.^[26]

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 Show. Saloon/sedan and Avant (estate/wagon) models are offered. The Avant was unveiled to the public at the March 2008 Geneva Motor Show. For Due north America's destined models, the B8 continued in product 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 also used in the Audi A5 coupé. While prior A4 chassis were express in wheelbase due to the relationship between the engine, manual and forepart axle, 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 centre of gravity slightly rearwards, improving handling by better balancing vehicle mass between the forepart and rear axles. The estimated static front: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 axle as well improves handling over previous A4 platforms.^{[ citation needed ]} Key to the implementation of MLB is the novel mounting of the differential in front of the clutch. This is achieved by driving the flywheel/clutch remotely by ways of a 'top hat' shaped bulldoze plate, between which the differential lay shaft passes, whilst ability manual to the final drive is via an inclined transfer shaft which runs the length of the transmission unit. Whilst the platform retains Audi's "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 transmission tunnel, which on right-hand drive versions forces the pedals to exist badly beginning, which has attracted criticism from the British motoring printing in detail.

The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase by 160 millimetres (6.three in) and in length by 117 millimetres (4.vi in) over the prior B7, which has allowed for increased rear seating legroom. Although the overall dimensions have increased, the curb weight has dropped some 10%. The boot (torso) has also increased to 480 litres (17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant will have a maximum capacity of 1,430 Fifty (50.5 cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.

Reception has been mixed, with praise for the Audi A4's increased size, giving it best-in-class rear legroom and torso space in the compact executive motorcar segment.^[34] Its inline-4 2.0 TFSI engine, while efficient providing plenty of torque, was considered defective and less refined compared to 6-cylinder engines of lighter rivals who posted faster acceleration times. However, 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, cycle changes are made to integrate new technologies and to proceed the model competitive. These changes are referenced based on the model yr (MY) of the automobile. In Australia, the B8 has undergone 2 revisions leading to three variants, the B8, B8 MY10^[38] and B8 MY11.

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

Audi was reported to finish offering 3.2L V6 models in 2010 model year,^[47] but still offers them equally of August 2011 (Frg).

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

With the 2012 facelift (the B8.5) came additional 163ps TDIe and TDI Ultra engines, the latter requiring the improver of adblue allowing for cleaner running, both of which brutal into the lower emissions tax subclass for the Uk, notwithstanding presenting a significant functioning improvement over the base 136ps and mid-range 143ps models.^[48]

Transmissions [edit]

In 2009, Audi announced the seven-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automated transmission as an option 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 automatic manual.

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

The A4 includes a radio with 8 speakers as standard, while the MMI navigation arrangement with voice dialogue is optional. A new "Drive Select System" allows drivers to choose comfort, dynamic, individual, or efficiency modes for fuel-efficiency.
