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

The A4 has been built in 5 generations and is based on the Volkswagen Grouping B platform. The start generation A4 succeeded the Audi 80. The automaker'southward internal numbering treats the A4 as a continuation of the Audi 80 lineage, with the initial A4 designated every bit the B5-series, followed by the B6, B7, B8, and the B9. The B8 and B9 versions of the A4 are built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform shared with several models and brands across the Volkswagen Group.

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

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, along with a new coupé and five-door liftback variant, was spun-off past Audi into a new nameplate called the Audi A5.

The offset generation Audi A4 (known internally as the Typ 8D) debuted in Oct 1994,[four] [5] with production starting November 1994 and European sales commencing in January 1995 for the 1995 model year. N American sales later began in September 1995 for the 1996 model twelvemonth.[6] 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 forepart-wheel drive. Many variations of the A4 were too available with Audi's quattro iv-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 offset design sketches being created later that twelvemonth. Past 1991, an exterior design by Imre Hasanic was chosen and frozen for November 1994 product by 1992. The interior design was after finalized in 1992, with pilot production commencing in the offset half of 1994. Evolution concluded in the third quarter of 1994, preceding November 1994 start of production.[seven] [8] [9] [x]

A wide range of engines were available in European markets, between 1.6 and 2.8 litres for petrol engines; and a 1.9-litre diesel engine bachelor with Volkswagen Group's VE engineering, capable of achieving a ninety PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). The 2.6 and 2.8-litre V6 engines which had been carried over from the old 80/90 proved popular, although in North America, the two.8-litre engine was the only V6 that was bachelor there until 1997. A two.4-liter version was adult particularly for the Thai market, where import duty jumped from 60 to 100 percent on cars of over ii,400 cc deportation.[xi]

The Audi A4 was the first model in the Volkswagen Group to feature the new 1.8-litre 20v engine with v 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 Northward⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) torque. Moreover, a quattro GmbH special edition of the B5 i.8T was afterward available in Germany and Europe, for which the engine'due south power output was raised to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and 235 N⋅m (173 lb⋅ft). 5-valve applied science was besides 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, merely with a power increase to 165 PS (121 kW; 163 bhp).

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

The B5 marked Audi's connected move into the midsize luxury machine segment, having started this trajectory notably with later model years of the preceding Audi 80/90 B4. Despite initial mechanical problems, overall build and assembly quality were lauded both past the automotive press and within Audi and Volkswagen, and at the time, parent company Volkswagen alleged the B5 the company-wide build quality criterion for all its other models.

Facelift (1999 –2001) [edit]

Sedan (facelift)

Avant (facelift)

The Audi A4 B5 saw nearly abiding minor changes and alterations throughout its 7-yr run. Moreover, a pregnant facelift was introduced for the 1998 B5 model yr at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Testify, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The two.8-litre 30-valve V6 engine replaced the 2.8-litre 12-valve. A 2.5-litre V6 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel fuel engine with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) was standard on the Quattro. A six-speed manual gearbox was available, equally well equally the new loftier-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 i.viii 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 foreclose cracking due to heat.[ citation needed ] The 12-valve V6 was replaced by the 30-valve unit which had been bachelor in Europe for two years.

A further facelift took identify beyond 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 end and rear lights, the center console, and door handles.[12] This facelift was known at Audi every bit 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 even higher operation RennSport model (rennsport literally translates as racing sport), the RS4 Avant, like its predecessor RS2, available only in the Avant bodystyle.

The side by side A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on 10 Oct 2000, now riding on the Volkswagen Group B6 (PL46) platform. The auto'southward new styling was developed under Peter Schreyer between 1996 and 1998, inspired past the Bauhaus blueprint linguistic communication of the C5 (2nd-generation) Audi A6 introduced in 1997. The i.half dozen-litre base model powerplant remained unchanged, only near other petrol/gasoline engines received either displacement increases, or power upgrades. The one.8-litre 20-valve Turbo was now 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 1.6-litre inline-four engine and 2.8-litre V6 were replaced by ii.0-litre, and all-aluminium blend 3.0-litre units, nonetheless with 5 valves per cylinder, the nigh powerful of which was capable of 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅1000 (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 1.9 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engine was upgraded to 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with Pumpe DĂĽse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology, and was now available with quattro permanent four-bike drive, while the 2.5 V6 TDI high-terminate 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 5.7 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system, with anti-lock braking system (ABS), brake 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 power in the i.8 Turbo engines to 183 PS (135 kW; 180 bhp) and 190 PS (140 kW; 187 bhp) – the 190 PS variant designated past a reddish 'T' on the kicking lid. Available with 4 wheel drive and in the 2.v TDI intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A 2.0 engine with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) was besides bachelor. A year later, Audi reintroduced the S4, at present powered by a 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.two L V8 engine, also as an A4 Cabriolet convertible variant ( Typ 8H), finally replacing the fourscore-based Audi Cabriolet which had been discontinued in 2000. It 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 on establish their way 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. In that location have been widespread complaints from consumers around the globe that the transmission box is prone to electronic glitches equally well equally mechanical problems.[18] [nineteen]

Borrowing from the Audi A6, the boot was redesigned to remove the extension of the superlative border with a smoother fold line. The rear light assemblies now formed part of the pinnacle line, these styling cues were somewhen borrowed by other European besides every bit Asian manufacturers.[twenty]

A sport bundle named 'Ultra Sport' was introduced in the North American market shortly earlier the B6 was replaced by the B7. Information technology included aluminium interior trim and door sills, "S line" steering cycle, front 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, interruption geometry,[ specify ] new internal combustion engine ranges, navigation systems and chassis electronics (including a new avant-garde Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system). The front grille assembly inverse to a alpine trapezoidal shape in the aforementioned style every bit the C6 (third-generation) Audi A6; however, the dashboard and interior were near unchanged from the B6 aside from minor detailing.

Audi'south internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 (passenger machine 50ongitudinal platform, size 4, generation 6) for both B6 and B7 chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are also carried over from the B6 A4 range, just 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 iii.2 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 use a 4-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior v-valve design was incompatible with the FSI directly injection system (due to the siting of the fuel injector, now discharging directly into the combustion bedchamber). The two.0 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine now combined Pumpe DĂĽse (Unit Injector) (PD) engineering with 16 valves, while the larger 2.5 TDI V6 diesel fuel was superseded by a 3.0 V6 TDI, offering a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during the twelvemonth 2005 which was upgraded to a 233 PS (171 kW; 230 bhp) model in 2006. A two.vii V6 TDI was added later.

Torsen T-2 based quattro permanent four-bicycle drive remained as an option on nearly A4 models. Audi retired its 5-speed manual transmissions in favour of a new Getrag 6-speed. Every bit earlier, multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), now with selectable 'seven-speeds', was an choice on front-wheel bulldoze models, whilst a conventional ZF 6HP half dozen-speed tiptronic automated transmission was an option on the quattro 4-bicycle drive models.

In addition to the Audi S4, which carried over the powertrain from the B6 S4 – Audi reintroduced the quattro GmbH adult Audi RS4 (RS for RennSport) to the lineup, for the outset 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 organisation, which uses a 'default' disproportionate 40:60 front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias. This new disproportionate middle differential was initially only bachelor on the RS4 merely was added a yr subsequently on the S4. The remainder of the B7 A4 range notwithstanding used the T-2 50:50 default dynamic split middle diff.

A variant, developed by 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 equally a regular option. The ii.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. Information technology was available with front-bike drive, or Quattro four-wheel drive.

The B7 Cabriolet model arrived afterward than the other two body variants, being kickoff shown in late 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 past Karmann until February 2009.[24]

In 2007 Audi introduced a version of the B7 named the 'Special Edition', which built on the South-Line specification and also included the black optics pack, the RS4 way 8J X 18 '7-arm double-spoke' design blend wheels, Two-tone Graphite/Black Volterra leather, 3-spoke sports leather/Alcantara multi-function steering wheel with gear knob and hand brake handle in Alcantara with silverish stitching, ventilated cantankerous-drilled front disc-brakes, black tailpipes and black roof rails (Avant model only). Information technology also had a power increase of 20 PS, giving an output of 220 PS on the two.0T model.

According to 2007 Swedish vehicle inspection data, the Audi A4 Avant with diesel engine is the most reliable vehicle available on the market, with vehicle inspection rejection rate of 0.0% in three-year-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 forepart and rear plus interior trim from the A4 Cabriolet. The entire Audi B7 A4 production line from Audi's Ingolstadt institute was dismantled and sent to Volkswagen Grouping's SEAT factory in Martorell, Kingdom of spain.[26]

Safety [edit]

The Audi A4 offers many standard safe features, including Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with anti-lock braking system (ABS), side airbags in the seats, 'sideguard' curtain airbags, and its optional quattro four-wheel drive system. It also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) "Top Safety Option For 2007".[27] [28] EuroNCAP crash test results from the B6 utilize to the B7 model.

Audi released the first official pictures of the B8 serial A4 in August 2007 and unveiled the car to the public at the September 2007 Frankfurt Motor Bear witness. Saloon/sedan and Avant (estate/wagon) 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 twelvemonth, 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 limited in wheelbase due to the relationship between the engine, transmission and front beam, the MLP allows for a reduced front end 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 front end and rear axles. The estimated static front:rear weight ratio of the B8 A4 is approximately 55:45, depending on trunk style and engine. The relocation of the steering rack in front of the axle also 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 accomplished by driving the flywheel/clutch remotely past means of a 'top hat' shaped bulldoze plate, between which the differential lay shaft passes, whilst power transmission to the final bulldoze is via an inclined transfer shaft which runs the length of the transmission unit of measurement. Whilst the platform retains Audi'southward "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 offset, which has attracted criticism from the British motoring printing in particular.

The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase past 160 millimetres (6.iii in) and in length by 117 millimetres (4.half dozen 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 (trunk) has too increased to 480 litres (17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant volition have a maximum capacity of 1,430 Fifty (50.five cu ft) with the rear seats folded downward.

Reception has been mixed, with praise for the Audi A4'due south increased size, giving it all-time-in-class rear legroom and trunk space in the meaty executive car segment.[34] Its inline-four 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 dispatch times. However, the Audi S4 sports sedan has been well-received for its V6 3.0 TFSI engine's power and efficiency.[35] [36] [37]

The B8 A4 was facelifted in early 2012.

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

The quattro permanent four-bicycle drive system uses the latest Torsen T-three centre differential, with a default 40:60 front end 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 stop offering iii.2L V6 models in 2010 model year,[47] simply still offers them as of Baronial 2011 (Germany).

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

With the 2012 facelift (the B8.5) came additional 163ps TDIe and TDI Ultra engines, the latter requiring the addition of adblue allowing for cleaner running, both of which fell into the lower emissions revenue enhancement subclass for the Great britain, yet presenting a pregnant performance comeback over the base 136ps and mid-range 143ps models.[48]

Transmissions [edit]

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

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

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