AUDI A4 is a middle class car with a longitudinal engine, front or all-wheel drive. It is the successor of the Audi 80, produced in 1986-1994.

The premiere of cars of the new model range Audi A4 took place in October 1994, and serial production began in November. The body has acquired a more rapid shape with a rounded roof profile characteristic of the new VW-Audi style. The interior trim is simply homelike.

Visibility is excellent, while the highest requirements of passive safety of the car are met: the central pillars keep side impact well (since October 1996, all models have been equipped as standard with not only two front, but also two side, one on each side, airbags). In general, this model made a more solid impression, which finally allowed the Audi A4 to become a full-fledged competitor in the circle of prestigious compact models (such as BMW 3-er and Mercedes-Benz C-class.) Of segment D. The latest developments of Volkswagen AG in the field of safety and technologies (as well as a global program of savings in production) made it possible to create the Audi A4 on the unified B5 platform, which is also intended for other models of the concern, for example, the WV Passat IV.

Initially, six versions of the 4-door sedan were presented with different gasoline engines: in-line four-cylinder - 1.6-liter 101 hp (ADP), 1.8-liter with five valves per cylinder (125 hp - ADR) and turbocharging (150 HP - AEB); six-cylinder V-shaped - 2.6-liter V6 (ABC - 174 hp) and 2.8-liter (AAH - 174 hp). All these engines, except for the "weakest" 1.6-liter, were installed on the all-wheel drive version of the Quattro, the production of which was launched without any pause in the same 1994 year. In addition to such powerful and high-spirited "Otto-motors", the A4 became famous for its equally high-spirited inline 1.9-liter TDI turbo diesels with direct injection, first with 90-horsepower (1Z / AHU), and a year later with 110-horsepower (AFN) with variable geometry turbocharger. The latter, by the way, was the most economical in its class - fuel consumption in the urban cycle per 100 km of run is only 6.9 liters! The traction characteristics of all engines used are impressive. On petrol models, it is possible to install an automatic Tiptronic transmission, which allows you to change gears in manual mode, thus active drivers can fully realize their driving skills.

The galvanized body of the Audi A4 is not afraid of corrosion, in any case, the company gives it a ten-year warranty. In September 1995, power windows for the front doors became standard, but sunroofs were still only available on request. Two months later, in November, the Avant wagon premiered with the same range of engines as the sedan, with the exception of the weakest 1.6-liter petrol. The trunk volume of a station wagon varies from 390 to 1250 liters, which, although not much, is quite acceptable for station wagons for outdoor activities, in the market niche of which Avant is one of the most popular.

The basic equipment of the car includes: anti-lock braking system with engine traction stabilization system, two airbags, power steering, cruise control system, climate control system, central door locking, alloy wheels, radio with CD changer, power windows, external heated, electric mirrors, dust and pollen filter and other necessary equipment.

After the new 2.8-liter 30-valve V6 with 193 hp appeared in April 1996. (ACK), the base models were 37, including the Quattro all-wheel drive models, renowned for their excellent grip and stability on slippery roads, although the front-wheel drive versions are almost as good as them, far ahead of many competing all-wheel drive models.

The S4 sports all-wheel-drive model with a 2.7-liter twin-turbo engine, five valves per cylinder and four camshafts, this engine develops a maximum power of 265 hp. at 5800 rpm. The high torque of 400 Nm remains constant over a wide range of 1850 - 4600 rpm. The S4, like the "charged" station wagon S4 Avant that appeared a year later, is equipped exclusively with all-wheel drive. The sedan accelerates to a hundred in 5.6 seconds, the Avant in 5.7 seconds. Essentially, the S4 is a factory-tuned product. The sporty interior has a full range of equipment up to climate control.

The suspension of these cars is distinguished by a sporty setting: there are wishbones at the front and rear (rear - double), as well as anti-roll bars. The Audi S4 Avant is in high demand, and it has few competitors.

The success of the A4 in the 1996 International Super Tour, with 7 out of 7 possible victories in the European, South African and Australian championships, is a testament to the car's high quality and sporty character. One of the most awarded and prestigious cars in the world, the Audi A4 is a modern alternative to the conservative high-end car.

In the fall of 1999, the premiere of the Audi RS4 took place, which immediately won the title of the most powerful serial station wagon in the world. A modest-looking station wagon has the temperament of a supercar. Its 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 develops 380 horsepower! This force accelerates the car to 100 km / h in just 4.9 seconds. As befits exotic sports cars, these cars fall in price sharply when resold - at least half the price of a new car.

At the beginning of 2000, two new power units appeared: a turbocharged 1.8-liter gasoline engine with 180 hp. and a 1.9-liter high-torque diesel with 115 hp. with high pressure unit injectors, replacing the previous 110-horsepower diesel. As a result, the total number of motors from 90 to 193 hp. reached 9, which, in combination with various transmissions and chassis, made it possible to obtain a very wide range of models for every taste.

In the fall of 2000, the premiere of a new generation of A4 models took place. From the very first glance at the new Audi A4, a high level of comfort and quality is evident, meeting the requirements of a high-end car. This impression is confirmed by the power of the engines, the unique ride quality, the automatic air conditioning system, as well as the high level of safety and increased strength of the body. The A4 has already earned worldwide recognition: 2001 brought this car six honorable international awards, including Goldenes Lenkrad (Golden Steering Wheel), and readers of Auto Motor und Sport magazine (Germany) recognized the Audi A4 as the best mid-range car of 2002.

The appearance of the second generation Audi A4 in many ways resembles the larger A6 and even the flagship of the company's lineup - the Audi A8. In contrast to the first generation model, the new car is 69 mm longer, 33 mm wider and 13 mm higher. The first to appear were cars with a sedan body, which has a fairly low aerodynamic drag coefficient Cx, for the new model it is only 0.28.

If you look at the A4 sedan from the outside, you can assume that its trunk is quite small. In fact, this is a "visual trick" of the designers trying to make the car lean. In reality, the size of the trunk corresponds to the class of the car. The car body is very durable - this is one of the "Audi" skates. Thanks to galvanizing, it resists salty winters.

The basic configuration, as such, did not exist. In Europe, when a person ordered a new "A4", after choosing the engine and body type, at his own discretion, he filled the car with various equipment. It was not for nothing that dealers called these cars "constructor for the buyer."

Salon "A4" can be decorated in one of three corporate styles. The "Advance" version implies finishing with materials and leather of "natural" colors, as well as walnut inserts. Ambition infuses the interior with a sporty spirit - the upholstery patterns are more energetic, and the leather used in the trim is distinguished by light artificial tones that match well with the aluminum inserts. In the A4 Ambition, you can often find a sports three-spoke steering wheel trimmed with leather. Finally, the most luxurious performance is the elite "Ambiente". The cozy and luxurious interior is distinguished by wood inserts of a special texture and an abundance of leather. Even in the cheapest configuration, the interior conquers with the high quality of finishing materials and the precision of "fitting" parts. And the most expensive versions are equipped no worse than other models.

The modified vehicle will be powered by a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, including 1.8-liter turbocharged engines; 2.0 and 3.0 liters with a capacity of 150, 130 and 220 hp. respectively, 1.9 TDI turbodiesels with 131 hp. and 2.5 TDI 180 hp.

Modifications with engines of 1.8; 2.5 and 3.0 liters, in addition to the usual front-wheel drive, will be equipped with an all-wheel drive transmission, and a Multitronic gearbox is installed on 2.0 and 3.0 liter models.

In 2001, the A4 Avant station wagon and the A4 Cabrio coupe-cabriolet, which will receive a folding hardtop (like the Mercedes-Benz SLK), were released.

A4 Cabrio is dynamic and unique, designed with state-of-the-art technology, equipped with all possible equipment. Its predecessor was in production for about nine years, and during this time it has rightfully acquired the status of a "modern classic". The new generation model also has all the hallmarks of a cult car.

The redesigned body, which is 4.57 m long and 1.77 m wide, inherits the classic elegance of the Audi Cabriolet while emphasizing the sportiness of the brand. The convertible top of the new Audi A4 Cabriolet is equipped with an electro-hydraulic drive and a heated rear window as standard. Excellent sound insulation and excellent winter adaptation are a matter of course. With its sporty yet elegant interior design, which perfectly matches the dynamic exterior, the Audi A4 Cabriolet is strikingly harmonious. The temperament and unique qualities of this car are evident at first glance. Its dynamic, flat bonnet, sophisticated wedge-shaped body shape and powerful rear end with prominent tailpipes clearly express its sporty character.

These are all hallmarks of Audi design. They, combined with the power of the engines delivering up to 220 hp, define the A4 Cabriolet's character, taking driving pleasure to a whole new level.

In addition, the Audi A4 Cabriolet engine is mated to a multitronic gearbox. It combines the excellent dynamic performance of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic.

The range of engines is quite extensive. Everyone can find a motor to their liking. The most economical 1.6 liter engine will suit phlegmatic drivers. This is followed by a 1.8-liter engine with 125 hp. It has a central injection and accelerates a weighty car quite easily. The engine is the same size, but with a turbocharger, it has a solid power reserve of 150 hp. Thanks to the low pressure turbine, it pulls powerfully from low speeds. The 2.8-liter V6 engine with 193 hp gives the car a truly sporty temperament. Complement the picture of petrol engines 2.6 l / 150 hp. and 2.4 l / 165 hp.

The turbodiesel range consists of two engines. Both feature direct fuel injection, intercooler and variable turbine geometries for greater low-end performance. Such an advanced design ensures quietness and temperament at the level of a gasoline engine. The four-cylinder 1.9-liter TDI engine with 110 hp. It has a very moderate fuel consumption - its average value is 5.6 l / 100 km. A more powerful version of the V6 2.5-liter with 150 hp. This motor is very harmonious with the station wagon body, since it is absolutely insensitive to the maximum load of the car.

At the 2004 Paris Auto Show, Audi presented the updated A4 generation. It features a redesigned bodywork, upgraded suspension and four new engines. As before, buyers are offered the A4 sedan and the A4 Avant station wagon. The body design is made in the new corporate style of the brand. The completely redesigned front end is complemented by the Audi-specific single trapezoidal radiator grille. The headlights have a slight bend in the bottom line. A new bumper, a slightly different tailgate solution and new original two-piece lights have appeared at the back. The line of the wheel arches and the horizontal stamping on the body have also changed.

In addition, the chassis of the car has undergone modernization - the elastokinematics of the suspension has been changed, the characteristics of shock absorbers and springs have been improved, and some units and parts have been borrowed from the Audi A6 and the modification of the Audi S4. The sporty yet comfortable dynamic suspension makes driving the Audi A4 a real pleasure.

State-of-the-art technical solutions, impressive styling and the highest quality of interior trim, traditional for Audi, will satisfy even the most demanding customer. Interior changes include a new steering wheel with a trapezoidal hub, a new instrument cluster and a center console now facing the driver, more comfortable front seats with improved lateral support (optional with an electric drive for 8 adjustments for the driver's seat and 4 for the passenger). Interior trim - expensive woolen fabric, velor or genuine leather of two types, including nappa.

The technical solutions used in it fully correspond to the new appearance of the Audi A4. Choose any of the engines: powerful and progressive gasoline units are at your service, as well as efficient diesel engines with high torque.

The range of engines includes five petrol engines: atmospheric "fours" 1.6 l 8V (102 hp) and 2.0 l 16V (130 hp), turbo engine - 1.8 l 20V (163 hp) ... Plus two new petrol engines: a 3.2-liter V6 FSI with direct fuel injection, which produces 255 horsepower, as well as a two-liter turbo engine with direct fuel injection, already known from the Audi A3 and VW Golf V models, with a capacity of 200 horsepower. From zero to one hundred kilometers per hour, both modifications accelerate in 7.3 seconds, and their maximum speed is 250 and 241 kilometers per hour, respectively.

For the Russian market, instead of engines with FSI, a powerful 3.0 liter "six" is offered, developing 218 hp. In addition, there are three turbo diesel TDI R4 2.0 liters (140 hp) and two V6 2.5 liters (163 hp) and 3.0 liters (204 hp quattro). In Europe, the base is the 1.9-liter TDI (116 hp). Audi A4 with a two-liter turbodiesel will be able to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in 9.7 seconds, and with a three-liter - in 7.2 seconds.

The gearboxes are 5- or 6-speed manual gearboxes or a multitronic variator (front-wheel drive), and the quattro has a 6-speed tiptronic automatic. The legendary quattro permanent all-wheel drive ensures maximum traction, and the second generation ESP stability control system even in difficult road conditions, it guarantees a unique level of safety. A4 safety is ensured by upgraded active (ABS + EBD, Brake Assist) and passive (8 airbags, including adaptive frontal) safety systems.

The luggage compartment of the A4 sedans is from 460 to 720 liters, and the A4 Avant station wagons from 442 to 1184 liters.

The list of additional equipment for A4 is traditionally wide - these are xenon turning headlights, active front head restraints that automatically take a C-shape when landing, separate 4-zone climate control, 4 hi-fi audio systems to choose from (power up to 210 W), trim natural wood and aluminum, 9 wheel rim designs, a navigation system with TV tuner, several steering wheel designs and much more.

In addition to the S-line sports tuning package, a new DTM Edition sports package has been offered since 2005.

The premiere of the next generation Audi A4 Cabriolet 2006 model year took place in Frankfurt. The main design change compared to the previous version is immediately apparent: it is a monolithic trapezoidal radiator grille, first introduced on the Nuvolari concept. Dimensions: length - 4,573 mm, height - 1,391 mm, wheelbase - 2,650 mm.

The rear lights have also been redesigned and the bumper has a diffuser that adds a sporty touch. The modern interior is quite consistent with the progressive style of the car's exterior. The standard interior of the car is decorated with aluminum inserts, you can also order the finish in walnut, gray or beige birch. The interior can be upholstered in fabric, fabric with leather, leather or leather with Alcantra in various colors.

Automatic up can be lowered and raised at speeds up to 30 km / h. Thanks to good thermal insulation and a glass rear window, the A4 Cabriolet can be used without restrictions in winter. As an option, a top with improved acoustic insulation is available, which allows for sound comfort levels comparable to the A4 sedan.

In 2007, a new generation of the A4 sedan enters the market. The continuity of generations, fully inherent in all models from Audi, is evident. The car has retained all the recognizable features of its predecessor, but at the same time has improved in all respects. The salon has become more spacious, the appearance is more expressive, and the equipment is richer. In short, the car has become more solid and luxurious. It is noteworthy that the A4 family sedan has been the best-selling Audi model for many years.

There are many changes in the car. The look has become much faster. The car received headlights in the style of the coupe A5, a bumper with aggressive air intakes, stamping, dissecting the sidewalls of the body. The Audi A4 sedan is 11 cm longer and 6 cm wider. The wheelbase has increased by 158, which has a beneficial effect on the interior space and trunk volume. The sedan has 480 liters of useful space in the luggage compartment, the station wagon has 490 liters when the seats are in normal condition and 1430 liters if the rear seats are folded. In addition to its huge dimensions, the A4 Avant trunk has a fixing net, a 12-volt outlet and a double-sided lid, which is covered on one side with soft nap, and on the other - plastic. Plastic is indispensable when transporting contaminated cargo, and the soft fleecy coating will protect the trunk from scratches if the cargo has sharp corners. For the transportation of long loads, there is a hatch in the backrests of the rear seats.

The 2007 Audi A4 has five engine types. Two of them are gasoline: one with a turbocharger, a volume of 1.8 liters and a capacity of 160 liters. sec., the second - a 3.2-liter V6, developing 265 hp. With cutting-edge engine technology, Audi vehicles are powerful and efficient. All types of gasoline engines are equipped with FSI technology, which allows increasing the torque and power of gasoline engines, as well as reducing fuel consumption (up to 15%) and reducing the toxicity of exhaust gases. Unlike intake manifold injection, FSI engines inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber. This reduces internal heat loss as well as increases power and fuel consumption.

The most modest diesel version offers a 2.0 TDI engine with 143 hp. Also, the car can be equipped with 2.7 TDI turbo diesel with 190 hp. and 3.0 TDI with 240 hp. TDI engines use modern common rain technology. The latest generation Common Rail system has a high-pressure fuel pump and one rail per cylinder bank. It has a maximum injection pressure of 1600 bar, which is 250 bar more than the previous generation Common Rail system. During injection, an electrical voltage is applied to the ceramic element of the piezo injector, which changes its crystal structure.

The Audi A4 is available with both front-wheel drive and quattro all-wheel drive. The range of transmissions consists of a six-speed manual gearbox, a continuously variable variator Multitronic, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The quattro A4 all-wheel drive transmission can be equipped independently of the engine. The all-wheel drive design has not fundamentally changed, but has undergone reconfiguration: it has become "slightly" rear-wheel drive. When driving on a straight dry road, 60% of the torque is transferred to the rear axle.

Thanks to the use of modern grades of steel, the car body has become 10% lighter, while, according to the creators, the body has become more durable, the body must withstand collisions with an obstacle at speeds up to 15 km / h without any consequences at all.

The developers also took care of the safety of passengers and the driver. For these purposes, there are six airbags, front and rear curtain airbags, standard parking sensors, ABS and ESP electronic stabilization system. In 2007, the Audi A4 received the highest Euro NCAP 5-star rating as one of the safest cars in its class.

The basic equipment of the car includes an on-board computer, central locking, electrically adjustable mirrors, power windows, heated seats, and a rain sensor. Optionally, the A4 Avant is available with a blind spot monitoring system, adaptive cruise control, a sunroof, a panoramic roof, an uphill assist system, a Bang & Olufsen audio system with a 500-watt amplifier, 10 active channels and 14 speakers and much more.

In March 2011, the 5 millionth Audi A4, the Avant 3.0 TDI quattro in Misano Red, rolled off the assembly line at the Audi Ingolstadt plant.

After four years of production, the third generation was restyled. The car received upgraded engines and chassis, as well as a slightly modified exterior. The car "grew" by several millimeters in length and height. The hood has become more curved. The designers changed the shape of the radiator grille, slightly "cutting" its upper corners. The cross ribs and rings of the Audi emblem are now more prominent. The grille can be painted gray or high-gloss black (on 6-cylinder models and models with the S line package). The headlights have been redesigned with a slightly undulating curve at the lower edges; changes also affected the internal structure of the optics. Xenon plus headlights are available as an option. The LED daytime running lights are designed in a single, narrow strip located next to the lenses of the xenon headlights. Adaptive headlights as well as dynamic and static cornering lights are available on request. The shape of the rear lights echoes the shape of the front optics. When Xenon plus headlights are ordered, they are continuous LED strips.

The interior has been refreshed with additional chrome inserts that have appeared on the buttons and steering wheel. The steering wheel itself has become sportier due to the cut-off lower segment, and the navigation system is now controlled by four buttons instead of eight. The interior of the vehicles with the S line sports package is in black with updated materials. The package also includes 18 '' or optional 19 '' alloy wheels. Otherwise, everything is the same: easy-to-read devices, a Russified on-board computer and a convenient joystick of the MMI system remained in their place. The trunk retained the same volume - 480 liters (962 liters with the rear seats folded) for the sedan and 490 for the Avant station wagon.

The engine range includes six diesel (TDI) and four petrol (TFSI) engines in 23. All engines are supercharged with direct fuel injection; start-stop and recuperation are standard on all variants. This has reduced average fuel consumption by 11%. The engines can be aggregated with a manual transmission, a S-tronic “robot” with a double clutch and a multitronic continuously variable variator, front or all-wheel drive. In total, 23 combinations of engines and transmissions are available for the Audi A4, 16 variants are available in Russia.

A new 1.8-liter turbocharged petrol engine has become available for the Audi A4, which can be ordered in two versions - 120 and 170 hp. The top-end 3.0-liter TFSI petrol engine, producing 272 hp, stands apart from the others. in the version for Audi A4 and 333 hp in the version for the sporty S4. As for the diesels, the following options are available: a 2.0-liter TDI with 136, 163 and 177 hp, as well as a 3.0-liter engine that produces 204 or 245 hp. depending on the version.

For the Audi A4 family, quattro® all-wheel drive uses a self-locking center differential. In normal driving mode, it distributes torque mainly to the rear wheels in a ratio of 40% to 60%. If necessary, redistribution occurs in the shortest possible time. Torque Redistribution helps the center differential work by using the brakes and giving the vehicle better handling.

Following the "older" A4 models, they were equipped with modern security systems: now the electronics monitor the markings, road signs, the car automatically brakes in front of an obstacle at speeds up to 30 km / h, monitors the driver's reactions and condition depending on driving style. In addition, a blind spot tracking system has appeared.

The presentation of the Audi A4 in the new B9 body took place on June 29, 2015. The world premiere will take place at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. This is the fifth generation of this model.

The appearance of the Audi A4 2016 has noticeably changed, it has become more aggressive. The author of the updated look is the same designer Walter De Silva. The changes affected several elements at once. Already in the base, the car is equipped with xenon headlights, which have LED daytime running lights built into them. The rear lights have received new geometry and a larger surface area. Dimensions and turn signals are clearly visible in the lateral projection and behind at a great distance. Fog lights, although they remained at the same level, have made room for the placement of sensors for monitoring road markings and thermal imaging equipment.

The car also received a wider Singleframe grille, redesigned bumpers (reminiscent of the sporty R model), re-shaped rearview mirrors and increased use of chrome trim.

The sloping roof, the sharp angle of the windshield in combination with the stampings located on the side parts of the body provide excellent passage of the incoming air flow. The drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.23 for the sedan and 0.26 for the station wagon, which in turn will reduce fuel consumption.

In terms of its dimensions, the Audi A4 2016 turned out to be slightly larger than the car of the previous generation. The length of the sedan is 4726 mm (+ 25), the wheelbase is 2820 (+ 12), the width is 1842 (+ 16), and the height remains unchanged (1427). The Audi A4 B9 (2015-2016) is based on the second generation MLB platform, due to which it was possible to reduce the weight (depending on the modification) by 120 kg compared to its predecessor.

The interior has become an order of magnitude more spacious, mainly due to the increase in the size of the wheelbase. There was an additional 23 mm for the legs behind the seats. The driver and passengers can enjoy completely redesigned anatomically shaped seats. Inside the Audi A4 2016, there is a completely different front panel with a free-standing multimedia system screen, a different climate unit, an even row of air ducts like on the Q7 II and a similar compact gearshift lever that swapped places with the MMI control washer. The steering wheel has a minimum of buttons. Minimalism, however, is not at the expense of information content. But at the same time, everything is at hand. Any switch can be reached.

The top-end multimedia system is equipped with an 8.3-inch tablet with voice control, Wi-Fi hotspot, LTE, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Rear seat passengers can also order two 10.1-inch tablets and a Bang & Olufsen audio system.

The A4 Avant's trunk now holds up to 505 liters of luggage with the rear seats, providing an increase of 15 liters over the old model. When the rear seat is folded down (40:20:40), the volume increases to 1510 liters.

Front and rear, the car received new five-link suspension. For a surcharge, adjustable shock absorbers are offered with two modes of operation: standard and sport. In the first version, the ground clearance is 10 mm lower than on the car in the version with conventional shock absorbers, and in the sports car - by 23 mm.

At the time the model entered the European market, seven power units are available for cars - three gasoline and four diesel ones, as well as the g-tron modification, which runs on synthetic methane.

The petrol engines for the new Audi A4 are represented by a 1.4-liter "turbo four" with a capacity of 150 hp, as well as two two-liter engines with a return of 190 and 252 hp. The latter has four-wheel drive Quattro and accelerates to a hundred in 5.8 seconds. Among the diesel engines there are two two-liter four-cylinder TDIs with a capacity of 150 (320 Nm) and 190 (400 Nm) hp, as well as two three-liter "six", developing 218 (400 Nm) and 272 (600 Nm) "horses". With the top-end sedan gaining a hundred in 5.3 seconds.

The TFSI and 4-cylinder TDI engines work as standard with a newly developed 6-speed manual gearbox, which is 16 kg lighter than the previous one. All engines (except the 3.0 TDI 272 hp) are optionally available with the new 7-speed S Tronic dual-clutch, as a replacement for the old Multitronic continuously variable transmission. In turn, the 3.0 TDI (272 hp) is offered with an 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox, which also went through a number of changes.

It will also offer the A4 Avant g-tron with a 2.0 TFSI engine (170 hp) and 270 Nm, which can run on compressed natural gas (CNG). The cylinders installed under the car can hold 19 kg of gas at a pressure of 200 bar and according to Audi with a consumption of less than 4 kg / 100 km - the range on gas will reach 500 km. When the gas is depleted, a full tank of gas will allow you to drive another 450 km.

It is expected that later the line of engines will be expanded, including through hybrid modifications with the ability to recharge batteries from a household network.

The 2012 Audi A4 has a bright, more aggressive personality in both the exterior and interior. As before, a four-wheel drive version is available. There are two body modifications: sedan and station wagon. Exceptionally high quality materials are used in the manufacture of the interior. The speakers deserve special attention - the speakers are so high quality that even true music lovers do not consider the option of replacing the standard speakers. Experts note that the Quattro all-wheel drive system significantly improves the A4's cornering stability, compared to the versions with front-wheel drive. Professional racers still choose in this class, the BMW 3-Series due to better weight distribution, and most ordinary buyers choose A4 because of the harmony in design, handling. Fuel efficiency of the turbocharged two-liter engine deserves special attention: it is practically the best in the class (if account hybrids). According to seasoned reviewers, the Audi A4 lacks the power of a six-cylinder engine. What's special about the 2012 model year? A distinctive feature of the model is the interior, which uses only the most luxurious materials.

Opinion about the Audi A4 2001-2004

New cars of this model are very expensive. However, used fours are unjustly losing value. Therefore, it is more profitable to buy them on the secondary market. Family car, very reliable and durable. Models released since 2000 have better suspension than their older brothers.

Some time after the appearance of the sedan, the Avant station wagon, which became widespread in Europe, and a very attractive convertible, saw the light. In terms of configuration, the four outperforms many classmates. All A4s are equipped with climate control, which is a plus in our harsh weather conditions, 4 airbags, 2 curtains, power windows for the front windows, heated mirrors, heated front seats, fog lights, ABS, anti-skid and anti-slip systems, a stereo system ... Optionally, you can also supply xenon headlights, GPS, TV, rain and light sensors, sunroof with solar panels !!! The plastic in the cabin is just a standard. However, the compactness of the cabin should not be overlooked. Behind, three passengers will be uncomfortable.

Body

The body is galvanized, which means it is not afraid of our harsh conditions. Therefore, the manufacturer can afford to give a guarantee for it for a period of 12 years! Corrosion occurs only on broken cars some time after an accident. Therefore, be careful when buying a car after an accident and poor-quality overhaul. The paintwork is reliable. Stone scratches do not oxidize afterwards. On the fourth model, not plastic, but strong pressed fenders are installed. Changing them will cost only $ 40. for a unit.

Metal parts are also not afraid of rust. Some were still covered with plastic covers at the factory. The bottom of the four is also protected by plastic, which performs an additional function of soundproofing. The drain under the battery must be cleaned in the fall so that the fluid does not damage the vacuum brake booster.

Motor

A wide variety, everyone will find an engine to their liking. Gasoline 1.6 liters (102 hp), 2 liters (131 hp), turbo petrol 1.8 l (150, 163, 190 hp), v 6: 2.4 l (170 hp), 3 l (220 forces). Turbo diesel 1.9 (100, 130 forces), v 6 2.5 liters (163.180 forces).

It is recommended to fill the engine oil after 18,000 km. Gasoline engines are durable. The ignition coils may be disturbing (they burn out due to the trapped liquid). Often, the oil level controller flips for no reason. In general, you need to be careful here, since on average 0.7 liters of oil is consumed per 1000 km. The record holder for the use of oil is the engine with a volume of 2 liters (131 hp). The reason is an assembly error of some cars: the middle compression rings are in an overturned position. Also, the rings are thrown back if sulfur and resin get into them. Of all, the 2-liter engine with 20 valves stands out: measured engine operation at any speed. This is a consequence of the functioning of the injection system with a variable intake manifold length. If you notice a decrease in power, check if the system is working properly.

Turbo gasoline 1.8 liters is extremely popular in our country. However, he is picky about butter. Therefore, 0 (5) W-40 is recommended for him. To cool the turbo bearings after arriving at the destination, wait a little before plugging the motor. You can also set a timer for this purpose. This way the turbine will last much longer. In this model, problems may arise with the phase control mechanism. The cover gasket is depressurized, and the EGN fails already at 130,000 km.

The most problem-free are the 6-cylinder gasoline engines. However, their repair, in turn, is twice as expensive as repairing other motors. And the timing belt and rollers will have to be changed after 110,000 km.

Of the diesel engines, the most adequate is 1.9 liters. The more powerful are accordingly finicky. Their most common illnesses: problems with compression in still new cars, depressurization of the valve cover gasket, crankshaft, crankcase, etc. By the way, in Moscow, this model is extremely popular, including among rental cars. And it is even possible to rent a car with a driver in Moscow

Management, transmission

The all-wheel drive version of the quatro is the most prestigious. No complaints about the Thorsen differential. Traction control and ESP copy differential locks. However, pre-owned front-wheel drive is more popular due to its lower cost.

The most reliable are MKPP-5 and MKPP-6. They do not require an oil change, but experts advise to refresh the oil after 120,000 km. The standard tiptronic automatic transmission is only offered with a v6 engine. A multitronic is installed on a front-wheel drive with a 130-horsepower motor. Gears shift smoothly, however, there is motor noise at high speed. On the first such models, switching was carried out in jerks - a set of devices for transmitting rotary motion from one shaft to another became unusable. On a car since 2003 installed these devices made from other raw materials, their number is increased. Therefore, switching is carried out smoothly, unless, of course, the electronics junk. This problem is solved in the salon. The transmission control unit fails in almost every car, the production year of which is older than 2005. The new unit costs approximately 40,000 rubles.

Impacts when driving through road irregularities indicate that the propeller shaft has become unusable. Change with a steering column. The rods are durable.

Chassis

Replacing the front suspension arms and rear suspension crossing arms is expensive as they are made of aluminum to reduce weight. After 80,000 km, balls can disturb. Replacement with aluminum levers. However, the suspension of the second generation of fours is still more reliable. The struts and stabilizer bushings can withstand 90,000 km. The rear levers require replacement after 140,000 km. Shock absorbers live up to 110,000 km.

Replacement of pads takes place after approximately 25,000 km.

Electronics

Despite the stuffing of auto electronics, problems with it arise in rare cases. Troubles can deliver CAP blocks on first generation cars. In new models, the wiper devices are oxidized, the contacts of the airbags are moving away. These problems can be easily solved.

A used car no older than 5 years will cost at least 500,000 rubles.

Thus, the advantages of Audi include brand credibility, good equipment, high-quality performance, excellent steering, comfort. The disadvantage of this brand is the costly maintenance. The four-wheel drive versions of the fourth model with a displacement engine will cost a little less than the sixth model with a less powerful engine.

The Audi A4 is a line of compact executive cars produced since the end of 1994 by the German automaker Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. This car is the successor, production of which ended in 1996.

The A4 has gone through five generations of modifications and is based on the Volkswagen Group B platform. The automaker's internal numbering views the A4 as a continuation of the Audi 80 line - the initial A4 is designated the B5 series, followed by the B6, B7, B8 and B9. The B8 and B9 series are built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform shared by many other Audi models.

The A4 body is available as a sedan and station wagon. The second (B6) and third (B7) generation A4 had a convertible body, but then from the fourth generation (B8) it became a separate model called the Audi A5. There is a sports version of the A4 called the Audi S4.

The development of the astomobile began back in 1988 and the first design sketches were created at the end of that year. By 1991, the exterior design was selected and frozen until production in 1994. The interior design was completed in 1992 and experimental production began in the first half of 1994. Development was completed in the third quarter of 1994.

The car's closest competitors are BMW 3 Series, Volkswagen Passat, Kia Optima, Infiniti G, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Opel Insignia, Peugeot 408, Ford Mondeo, Mazda 6, Mitsubishi Galant, Mercedes C-class, Nissan Teana, Renault Laguna, Toyota Camry and Skoda Superb.

Audi B5 (1994-2001)

The first generation of Audi A4 ( Typ 8D) debuted in October 1994, production began in November 1994, and European sales began in January 1995. North American sales began later in September 1995. The car is built on the Volkswagen Group B5 platform (PL45), on which the fifth generation Volkswagen Passat is based. Two types of bodies were produced - a 4-door sedan and a 5-door station wagon (Avant).

Throughout the seven-year production, minor changes were constantly made to the car. Significant reconstruction was carried out in 1997. We updated some engines and added a 6-speed manual transmission. Another facelift was performed in 1999. The changes were mostly cosmetic, but almost all external elements were affected.

The choice of engines is very large. Petrol 4-cylinder with a volume of 1.6 to 1.8 liters with a capacity of 101 to 180 hp, 6-cylinder V-shaped with a volume of 2.4 to 2.8 liters with a capacity of 150 to 381 hp. Diesel 4-cylinder 1.9 liter capacity from 75 to 115 HP, 6-cylinder V-shaped 2.5-liter engine with 150 HP.

There is also a large selection of transmissions - 5 or 6-speed mechanics, 4 or 5-speed automatic. Audi has also announced a new "Tiptronic" automatic transmission. The transmission is a conventional torque converter automatic transmission that offers fully automatic or manual gear selection.

Audi B6 (2000-2006)

Next Audi A4 ( Typ 8E) debuted on October 10, 2000, the basis was now the Volkswagen Group B6 platform (PL46). The new car styling was developed under the direction of German automotive designer Peter Schreyer between 1996 and 1998, inspired by the design for the second generation (C5), presented in 1997.

The body was in three versions - a 4-door sedan, a 5-door station wagon and a 2-door convertible. The Avant (station wagon) was introduced in June 2001 and entered European showrooms in September 2001.

The choice of engines for the most fastidious taste. Gasoline - 4-cylinder with a volume of 1.6 to 2.0 liters with a capacity of 101 to 187 hp, 6-cylinder V-shaped with a volume of 2.4 liters (168 hp) and 3.0 liters (217 hp). Diesel - 1.9 liters (l4, 99-128 hp) and 2.5 liters (V6, 153-178).

There are four transmission options - 5 or 6-speed manual transmission or 5 or 6-speed automatic transmission. Audi introduced a continuously variable transmission developed by LuK called "Multitronic", which replaced the outdated traditional automatic transmission on front-wheel drive models. However, there were complaints from consumers around the world that the box was susceptible to electronic failures as well as mechanical problems.

Audi B7 (2004-2008)

Audi introduced the new generation A4 at the end of 2004 with the internal designation B7 (Typ 8E / 8H). The car is built on the Volkswagen Group B7 (PL46) platform. Despite the new designation, the B7 is a heavily redesigned and updated version of the B6, with revised steering settings, suspension geometry, updated combustion engines, and improved Electronic Stability Program (ESP). The front grille assembly has changed to a high trapezoidal shape in the same way as on the third generation Audi A6 (C6), however, the dashboard and interior are practically unchanged.

The body was also in three versions - a 4-door sedan, a 5-door station wagon and a 2-door convertible.

A number of engines have received many additions. In 2005, the direct fuel injection (FSI) system was introduced for the 2.0 TFSI and 3.2 V6 FSI petrol engines, along with other improvements, which increased the power to 197 hp. and 252 hp. respectively. These engines use a four-valve per cylinder configuration.

The choice of engines is still large. Gasoline - 4-cylinder with a volume of 1.6 to 2.0 liters with a capacity of 102 to 220 hp, 6-cylinder V-shaped with a volume of 3.2 liters with a capacity of 252 hp. Diesel - 4-cylinder with a volume of 1.9 to 2.0 liters with a capacity of 115 to 170 hp, 6-cylinder V-shaped with a volume of 2.5 to 3.0 liters with a capacity of 163 to 233 hp.

There are four transmissions to choose from - 5 or 6-speed mechanics, 6-speed automatic "Tiptronic", as well as a continuously variable transmission "Multitronic" (CVT) with a choice of seven speeds.

Audi B8 (2009-2015)

Audi unveiled the first official photos of the A4 B8 series in August 2007 and the car itself was shown to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007. The car is built on the Volkswagen Group B8 modular longitudinal platform (MLB / MLP), a platform that is also used for the Audi A5 coupe. Cars with a cabriolet type body began to be called the Audi A5, only two bodies remained to choose from - a 4-door sedan and a 5-door station wagon.

The MLP platform allows for reduced front overhang, resulting in a longer wheelbase without increasing overall length. This effectively redistributes the center of gravity slightly backward, improving handling and balancing the vehicle's mass between the front and rear axles. Also, the new platform made it possible to increase the space in the cabin and the luggage compartment, and the curb weight of the car decreased by 10%.

Gasoline engines have become all with a direct fuel injection system (FSI) - 4-cylinder 1.8 and 2.0 liters with a capacity of 118 to 222 HP, 6-cylinder V-shaped 3.0 liters (268 HP) and 3.2 liters (261 hp). Diesel engines are all turbocharged with direct injection - 4-cylinder 2.0-liter capacity from 116 to 168 hp, 6-cylinder V-shaped 2.7 and 3.0 liter capacity 187 and 237 hp.

There were as many as five different transmission options - 6-speed manual transmission, 6-speed Tiptronic, 8-speed automatic transmission, 7-speed DSG "S tronic", as well as "8-speed" variator "Multitronic" ...

Audi B9 (2015 - present)

In June 2015, the next generation version of the Audi A4 B9 (Typ 8W) was released - the fifth model for the A4 name and the ninth generation of the Audi 80 / A4 series in general. The official launch took place at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2015. The car is built on the Volkswagen Group B9 platform (MLB / MLP). The B9 is slightly larger than the previous generation, but weighs 120 kilograms less. There are also two bodies to choose from - a 4-door sedan and a 5-door station wagon.

For Audi, the Quartet is the fundamental striking force in the market. Still, it would not be so - this D-class model, or rather its premium segment, accounts for over 30% of the total sales of this brand's cars in the world. In 2007, at the International Frankfurt Motor Show, the premiere of the Audi A4 sedan with the B8 index took place. The end of 2011 marked the release of an updated model to the market, which was designated FL (facelift) for its index.

The Audi A4 sedan cannot be classified as ultra-trendy gadgets. Here, on the contrary, four rings from Ingolstadt have long been a sign of exemplary business style. The car looks elegant and strict at the same time, besides there are notes of a certain sportiness. Looking at the A4, you instantly understand that this is exactly Audi, the main thing here is not to confuse it with some of the older models.
The most noticeable detail of the front end is the lighting design. It strikes the eye with a spectacular LED "light strip", which follows the contour of the headlight, thereby giving the look a certain aggression. In addition, we can note the proprietary trapezoidal radiator grille with slightly chamfered top edges and a bumper with integrated fog lights. All this together gives the car a rather predatory look.

Clean lines create a classic and elegant silhouette. The shoulder line, the extended bonnet and the energetic body contours impart the sporty A4 character. Well, light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 16, 17 or 18 inches make the appearance of the sedan complete. The rear of the car is made according to all the canons of the corporate design of Audi, and it stands out with lamps with smooth outlines and LED "stuffing", and double branch pipes of the exhaust system.

The external dimensions of the three-volume model are 4701 mm long, 1427 mm high and 1826 mm wide (including side mirrors - 2040 mm). The wheelbase of the German model reads 2808 mm, and the ground clearance (clearance) is 135 mm.

The interior of the "fourth and fourth" is distinguished by excellent ergonomics, functionality, high quality materials used and the level of equipment. In the interior of the car you can find leather, wood and aluminum. Inside the German sedan, luxury reigns, as befits a premium model. The architecture of the front panel, which turns into a tall tunnel, looks monumental. The center console is slightly turned towards the driver, hinting that he is the main one in the car. At the top is the Audi multimedia interface with a 7-inch high-definition display. Below is a place for ventilation deflectors, audio control units and climate control units. In general, everything is thought out to the smallest detail and executed at the highest level.

Four types of seats are available for the Audi A4, but each of them seems to be cut to the figure, have excellent lateral support and many adjustments, including a movable popliteal roller. Riders of any size will be able to sit comfortably in the front seats of the sedan. The rear sofa has three headrests and three seat belts, but only two passengers can comfortably sit on it. The reason for this is the too high transmission tunnel, which causes discomfort to the legs of the person sitting in the middle, and the pillow in this place is harsh. But the second row of seats accepts two riders with all hospitality, separating a sufficient supply of space in all directions and a high level of comfort.

The luggage compartment here, in terms of volume, is far from a record - 480 liters, but it is a rectangular box with smooth walls, and the wheel arches and hinges do not eat up the volume and do not interfere with the transportation of luggage. If the rear seats are freed from the passengers, the backrest can be folded in a 40:60 ratio, thereby obtaining 962 liters of usable cargo volume and a flat platform.

Specifications. On the Russian market, the Audi A4 sedan is offered with seven engines, of which four are petrol TFSI and three diesel TDI. First, about the petrol part of the premium model from Ingolstadt.

• The initial gasoline engine has a volume of 1.8 liters and is endowed with turbocharging and direct injection. Depending on the level of boost, it generates 120 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque, or 170 "horses" and 320 Nm, respectively. The motor is combined with a 6-speed "mechanics" or multitronic variator. With a more powerful unit, the proprietary quattro all-wheel drive system is also installed. The 120-horsepower sedan accelerates to the first hundred in 10.5 seconds, and its capabilities are limited at around 200 km / h. On average, it needs 6.2-6.5 liters of fuel per 100 km of run on the combined cycle. "A-fourth" with a 170-horsepower engine exchanges the first hundred in 7.9-8.3 seconds, gaining maximum 225-230 km / h and consuming 5.7-6.2 liters of fuel, depending on the modification.
• This is followed by a 2.0-liter "turbo four" with a capacity of 225 horsepower, developing 350 Nm of peak thrust. In tandem to this motor, a 6-speed "mechanics", a multitronic variator or a 7-band "robot" S tronic with a pair of clutches are offered. Acceleration of such a car from 0 to 100 km / h varies from 6.4 to 6.9 seconds, and the "maximum speed" is electronically limited at around 250 km / h. The appetite of such "A4" is rather moderate - in the combined cycle it "eats" from 5.8 to 6.7 liters of gasoline.
• The flagship is the 3.0-liter V6, producing 272 "horses" and 400 Nm of torque. It relies exclusively on the 7-speed S tronic and quattro all-wheel drive. This Audi A4 "shoots" from zero to the first hundred in 5.4 seconds, and its top speed is 250 km / h. Such a powerful car consumes 8.1 liters of fuel per centner of the track in the combined cycle.

Now about diesels.

• The "junior" is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with 150 horsepower and 320 Nm. To help him are assigned a continuously variable multitronic variator and front-wheel drive. One should not expect impressive dynamic and high-speed characteristics from this engine - the 150-horsepower car accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.1 seconds and picks up the maximum possible speed of 210 km / h. The main advantage of a diesel engine is fuel efficiency. This Audi A4 consumes only 4.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
• The role of "middle" is performed by a four-cylinder turbo unit with direct fuel injection. With a power of 177 forces, its limiting moment is set at around 380 Nm. Such a sedan does the exercise to set the first hundred in 7.9 seconds, and its peak speed is 222 km / h. The indicators are not bad, as is the consumption of diesel fuel - only 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers.
• "Senior" - a 3.0-liter turbodiesel with six V-shaped cylinders. Its power is 245 "horses", and the maximum torque is 500 Nm. It works in conjunction with the 7-speed "robot" S tronic and all-wheel drive quattro transmission. This amount of horsepower provides excellent dynamics - 5.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h, as well as a speed of 250 km / h. At the same time, fuel consumption clearly will not ruin the owner - a 245-horsepower unit is content with only 5.7 liters of fuel.

As for the suspension, there is a double wishbone independent structure with stabilizers at the front, and a multi-link independent structure with trapezoidal levers and a bearing beam at the rear.

Options and prices. In 2015, the most affordable Audi A4 sedan with a 120-horsepower engine and a 6-speed manual transmission is offered on the Russian market at a price of 1,480,000 rubles. The list of equipment for such a car includes six airbags, various electronic assistants, an air conditioner, a standard audio system, a start-stop system, full power accessories and 16-inch rollers.
The four-wheel drive petrol version will cost a minimum of 1,754,000 rubles. The "top" version of the Audi A4 sedan with a 272-horsepower gasoline engine, S tronic and quattro all-wheel drive costs from 2,600,000 rubles, the "top-end diesel" is 100,000 rubles more expensive. In addition, a wide range of options and additional equipment is available for this model, which can significantly increase the price tag for a car.

The fourth generation of the Audi A4 began to be produced in 2008, and finished in 2015, while in 2011 the model was restyled. A4 2007-2015 was produced in two bodies Sedan (Sedan) and Station wagon (Avant). The line of power units of the B8 body is very wide: these are gasoline 1.8TFSI (120, 160, 170hp), 2.0TFSI (180, 211, 225hp) 3.0TFSI (272hp) and 3.2FSI ( 265 l / force); and turbo diesel: 2.0TDI with various power settings (120, 143, 150, 170, 177, 190hp) 2.7TDI (190hp) and 3.0TDI (204, 240, 245hp).

The restyling of 2011 changed not only the interior of the cabin (the dashboard and center console were modified), the appearance (the design of the bumpers, radiator grilles changed a little, headlights with trapezoidal LED running lights appeared), but also the line of engines changed. The 3.2FSI (CALA) engine dropped out of production, it was replaced by 3.0TFSI (CMUA, CRED). Also, instead of 1.8TFSI (CDHB) - 160 hp. and 250Nm of torque, they began to install an engine of the same volume, but with 170hp. (CAHA) and 320Nm of torque. The fuel consumption of all gasoline engines decreased by 7-8%, to a greater extent this is the merit of the Start / Stop system and the appearance of an electromechanical power steering, which was not on the dorestyle. The line of diesel engines also underwent changes with the advent of restyling: 2 new turbodiesels with a volume of 2.0 liters appeared. - 136 and 163 hp Instead of the top 2.0TDI with 170hp and 350Nm of torque, came 2.0TDI with 177hp. and 380Nm. At the same time, the diesel turbo engines 1.8 - 120hp remained unchanged. and 2.0 - 143hp. Also in the lineup there are V6 turbodiesel with 204 and 245 horsepower. In addition, the changes in 2011 also affected the suspension - they shifted the attachment points of the rear arms and reconfigured the shock absorbers.

Specifications Audi A4 B8

The model has not as many motors in the line as previous generations, but nevertheless there are enough of them and there are plenty to choose from. In total, there are 6 power units in the line, these are 4 gasoline and 2 diesel, let's talk about all in more detail.

The gearboxes are offered completely different, there are 6-speed mechanics, variators, as well as a 7-speed S-Tronic robot. The drive of a car can also be different, there are front-wheel drive versions, and there are versions with the quattro all-wheel drive system.

In terms of reliability, all motors have it, and in particular, previous versions have it, so if you want to buy a used old version, you can safely take a car with a mileage of 200,000 kilometers. In terms of speed, even the first generation engines have the characteristics that budget class cars now have, while the first generation used is cheaper than a new budget class car.

Price Audi A4 B8

As for the cost, the situation is as follows, the models are offered on the secondary market at completely different prices. Sellers are asking from 800,000 rubles and reach 2 million rubles.

Review of Audi A4 1.8 TFSI (Audi A4) 2010

It's time to write a review about your Audi A4. Both good and bad have accumulated. What is more, good or bad, I have not yet understood. I became the owner about six months ago. Before that, I drove a Renault Megan 2, Extreme 2 grade. I can't say anything bad about the renoshka, moreover, if not for the case, I would not even have changed it for an Audi. And it turned out like this: a friend was leaving on a long business trip to another country, and there was nowhere to put the car. In the end, I got it. At that time, there was a run of 50400 km. Car in the back of B8, black, pre-styling, December 2010. 1.8 turbo 160 l / s, variator. The car was operated carefully, everything was done on time. He himself was a repeated witness.

Outwardly, the car is 5 points, with running lights-cilia looks very predatory. The interior is also not bad: solid plastic, everything is fitted exactly, no cracks and distortions. But! With the plastic in the area where the headlights are turned on, the Ingolstadt have messed up great. There is no such shitty and creaky plastic even in Logan)) This is probably so that life does not seem like honey.

Strengths:

• Big black car with a predatory squint of headlights
• Excellent assertive acceleration

Weak sides:

• • Eats butter
  • Regular gasoline - 98
  • High sensitivity to fuel
  • The high cost of maintenance at the office. dealer
