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

The A4 has been built in five generations and is based on the Volkswagen Group B platform. The first generation A4 succeeded the Audi lxxx. The automaker's internal numbering treats the A4 as a continuation of the Audi fourscore 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 Group MLB platform shared with several models and brands beyond the Volkswagen Grouping.

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 front-cycle drive, or on some models, "quattro" all-cycle bulldoze.

The A4 is bachelor as a sedan and station wagon. Historically, the second (B6) and third generations (B7) of the A4 as well included a convertible version. For the fourth generation (B8) and onwards, the convertible, along with a new coupé and 5-door liftback variant, was spun-off by Audi into a new nameplate called the Audi A5.

Sedan (pre-facelift)

Avant (pre-facelift)

The first generation Audi A4 (known internally as the Typ 8D) debuted in October 1994,^{[four] [5]} with production starting November 1994 and European sales commencing in January 1995 for the 1995 model year. North American sales later on began in September 1995 for the 1996 model twelvemonth.^[6] It was built on the Volkswagen Group B5 (PL45) platform, which information technology shared with the fourth generation Volkswagen Passat (B5, Typ 3B). Information technology had a front end-mounted longitudinal engine and front-wheel drive. Many variations of the A4 were also available with Audi'south quattro four-wheel drive system. The A4 was initially introduced equally a four-door saloon/sedan; the Avant (estate/carriage) was introduced in November 1995 and went on auction in Feb 1996.

Development began in 1988, with the first design sketches being created later that twelvemonth. By 1991, an exterior pattern by Imre Hasanic was chosen and frozen for November 1994 production by 1992. The interior pattern was later finalized in 1992, with pilot production commencing in the first half of 1994. Evolution ended in the tertiary quarter of 1994, preceding November 1994 start of production.^{[7] [viii] [9] [10]}

A wide range of engines were bachelor in European markets, between ane.half dozen and two.8 litres for petrol engines; and a one.nine-litre diesel engine available with Volkswagen Group's VE technology, capable of achieving a xc PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). The 2.half dozen and 2.8-litre V6 engines which had been carried over from the old 80/90 proved pop, although in North America, the 2.8-litre engine was the just V6 that was bachelor there until 1997. A 2.4-liter version was developed especially for the Thai market, where import duty jumped from sixty to 100 percent on cars of over 2,400 cc deportation.^[11]

The Audi A4 was the first model in the Volkswagen Group to feature the new ane.viii-litre 20v engine with five valves per cylinder, based on the unit of measurement Audi Sport had adult for their Supertouring race car. A turbocharged one.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 afterward available in Germany and Europe, for which the engine'south power output was raised to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and 235 N⋅m (173 lb⋅ft). Five-valve engineering was as well added to a reengineered V6 family of engines in 1997, starting with the 2.8-litre V6 30v, which now produced 193 PS (142 kW; 190 bhp), followed past a two.4-litre V6 which was a downsize from the previous 2.6 litre, 150 hp (112 kW) engine, merely with a ability increase to 165 PS (121 kW; 163 bhp).

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

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

Facelift (1999 –2001) [edit]

Sedan (facelift)

Avant (facelift)

The Audi A4 B5 saw nearly constant minor changes and alterations throughout its 7-year run. Moreover, a significant facelift was introduced for the 1998 B5 model twelvemonth at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The 2.8-litre thirty-valve V6 engine replaced the ii.8-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 vi-speed transmission gearbox was available, too as the new loftier-operation Audi S4, at present part of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an Audi 100). Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles, and another pocket-sized exterior/interior changes.

In mid-1998, the 1.viii 20vT engine available exterior Europe had its ability 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 keen due to rut.^{[ citation needed ]} The 12-valve V6 was replaced by the 30-valve unit which had been available in Europe for two years.

A further facelift took place beyond the A4 and S4 platform in February 1999 equally a 1999.5 model; changes were largely cosmetic but afflicted many components, such equally both front and rear bumpers, the front and rear lights, the center console, and door handles.^[12] This facelift was known at Audi as a Grosse Produktaufwertung (Major Production Upgrade), as was too signified by facelift cars at present carrying the denomination "8Dtwo".

In 1999 Audi also debuted an even higher operation RennDue southport model (rennsport literally translates as racing sport), the RS4 Avant, like its predecessor RS2, available but in the Avant bodystyle.

The side by side A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on x Oct 2000, now riding on the Volkswagen Group B6 (PL46) platform. The car's new styling was developed nether Peter Schreyer betwixt 1996 and 1998, inspired by the Bauhaus blueprint language of the C5 (2nd-generation) Audi A6 introduced in 1997. The ane.6-litre base model powerplant remained unchanged, only near other petrol/gasoline engines received either displacement increases, or ability upgrades. The 1.8-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 half dozen-speed manual gearbox, while the naturally aspirated 1.6-litre inline-four engine and two.eight-litre V6 were replaced by 2.0-litre, and all-aluminium alloy 3.0-litre units, still with five valves per cylinder, the about powerful of which was capable of 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 North⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. The ane.ix Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engine was upgraded to 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology, and was at present bachelor with quattro permanent four-wheel drive, while the 2.5 V6 TDI high-cease model was introduced with 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and standard quattro. This generation of quattro consisted of default of fifty:50 front to rear dynamic torque distribution. A Bosch ESP 5.7 Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system, with anti-lock braking organisation (ABS), brake assist, 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.eight Turbo engines to 183 PS (135 kW; 180 bhp) and 190 PS (140 kW; 187 bhp) – the 190 PS variant designated by a red 'T' on the boot hat. Available with four bicycle drive and in the ii.v TDI intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A 2.0 engine with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) was also available. A year after, Audi reintroduced the S4, at present powered by a 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.2 50 V8 engine, as well equally an A4 Cabriolet convertible variant ( Typ 8H), finally replacing the eighty-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 every bit torso-coloured lower bumper and sill panels, which subsequently found their fashion 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 end-cycle drive models. There take been widespread complaints from consumers around the world that the transmission box is prone to electronic glitches as well as mechanical bug.^{[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 light assemblies now formed office of the top line, these styling cues were eventually borrowed by other European also equally Asian manufacturers.^[20]

A sport package named 'Ultra Sport' was introduced in the Northward American marketplace shortly before the B6 was replaced by the B7. It included aluminium interior trim and door sills, "S line" steering wheel, 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, break geometry,^{[ specify ]} new internal combustion engine ranges, navigation systems and chassis electronics (including a new avant-garde Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system). The front end grille assembly changed to a tall trapezoidal shape in the same manner every bit the C6 (third-generation) Audi A6; however, the dashboard and interior were virtually unchanged from the B6 aside from minor detailing.

Audi'south 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 besides carried over from the B6 A4 range, simply now have an boosted 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 two.0 TFSI and 3.2 V6 FSI petrol/gasoline engines, as 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 iv-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior 5-valve design was incompatible with the FSI direct injection organisation (due to the siting of the fuel injector, now discharging straight into the combustion chamber). The 2.0 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine now combined Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology with xvi valves, while the larger two.5 TDI V6 diesel was superseded by a 3.0 V6 TDI, offer a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during the year 2005 which was upgraded to a 233 PS (171 kW; 230 bhp) model in 2006. A 2.7 V6 TDI was added later.

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

In improver to the Audi S4, which carried over the powertrain from the B6 S4 – Audi reintroduced the quattro GmbH developed Audi RS4 (RS for RennSport) to the lineup, for the beginning time on the saloon/sedan and Cabriolet body, and with a naturally aspirated, simply high-revving 4.2-litre V8 FSI engine. Some other inclusion on the RS4 was the latest generation Torsen T-3 Quattro 4WD system, which uses a 'default' asymmetric 40:sixty front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias. This new asymmetric heart differential was initially only bachelor on the RS4 merely was added a twelvemonth subsequently on the S4. The remainder of the B7 A4 range all the same used the T-2 50:50 default dynamic split center diff.

A variant, developed by quattro GmbH, was beginning 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 pick. 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 Northward⋅chiliad (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. It was available with front-wheel bulldoze, or Quattro four-wheel drive.

The B7 Cabriolet model arrived later on than the other two body variants, being starting time shown in late 2005 and with sales showtime 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 by Karmann until February 2009.^[24]

In 2007 Audi introduced a version of the B7 named the 'Special Edition', which congenital on the S-Line specification and also included the black eyes pack, the RS4 style 8J X 18 '7-arm double-spoke' design alloy wheels, Two-tone Graphite/Blackness Volterra leather, 3-spoke sports leather/Alcantara multi-office steering wheel with gear knob and hand brake handle in Alcantara with silver stitching, ventilated cross-drilled front disc-brakes, black tailpipes and black roof rails (Avant model only). Information technology likewise had a power increase of twenty PS, giving an output of 220 PS on the ii.0T model.

According to 2007 Swedish vehicle inspection data, the Audi A4 Avant with diesel engine is the almost reliable vehicle available on the market, with vehicle inspection rejection rate of 0.0% in three-year-quondam 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 product line from Audi's Ingolstadt plant was dismantled and sent to Volkswagen Group's SEAT factory in Martorell, Spain.^[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 North America's destined models, the B8 continued in production 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 limited in wheelbase due to the relationship between the engine, transmission and forepart axle, the MLP allows for a reduced front overhang, resulting in a greater wheelbase length without the same increment in overall length.^[32] This finer redistributes the center 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 body 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 achieved past driving the flywheel/clutch remotely by ways of a 'acme hat' shaped drive plate, betwixt which the differential lay shaft passes, whilst ability transmission to the terminal 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 forwards than the previous B6/B7 generation platform.^[33] The transfer shaft, even so, 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 be desperately kickoff, which has attracted criticism from the British motoring press in particular.

The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase by 160 millimetres (6.3 in) and in length by 117 millimetres (4.6 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 x%. The boot (body) has also increased to 480 litres (17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant will have a maximum chapters of ane,430 L (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-form rear legroom and trunk space in the compact executive car segment.^[34] Its inline-4 two.0 TFSI engine, while efficient providing plenty of torque, was considered lacking 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'due south power and efficiency.^{[35] [36] [37]}

The B8 A4 was facelifted in early 2012.

During a model, bike changes are made to integrate new technologies and to go along the model competitive. These changes are referenced based on the model year (MY) of the machine. In Commonwealth of australia, the B8 has undergone 2 revisions leading to 3 variants, the B8, B8 MY10^[38] and B8 MY11.

The quattro permanent four-bicycle drive organisation uses the latest Torsen T-iii heart differential, with a default 40:60 front to rear disproportionate torque distribution ratio (used first on the B7 RS4) as standard. (Previous A4 Quattro models divide torque with a default front:rear 50:50). The additional torque bias applied to the rear wheels helps mimic the driving dynamics of rear-wheel bulldoze cars.

Audi was reported to stop offering 3.2L V6 models in 2010 model year,^[47] merely still offers them as of August 2011 (Germany).

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

With the 2012 facelift (the B8.v) came boosted 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 tax bracket for the United kingdom, yet presenting a significant performance improvement over the base 136ps and mid-range 143ps models.^[48]

Transmissions [edit]

In 2009, Audi appear the seven-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automatic manual equally an selection for A4 in the UK and European markets.^[49]

All A4L models include Speed 8 multitronic continuously variable/transmission manual, except for A4L 3.2 FSI quattro, which includes Tiptronic automatic transmission.

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.^[50]
