The first look at the Audi A4 may leave you wondering what is so new about it. This could pose a challenge, as an all-new car should ideally showcase a drastically different styling from its predecessor. While subtle changes were made, Audi aimed to maintain the brand's balance and aesthetic consistency across its fleet. However, only time will tell if this approach resonates with customers. A closer inspection reveals changes to the grille, bumper, headlights, and taillights. Furthermore, the car has grown in size and lost weight compared to the previous generation A4. These modifications are crucial, and customer reception will be key.

Interior

The story continues inside the Audi A4 as well, offering more cabin space than before. The dashboard features soft-touch plastic, and a 3-zone climate control system is integrated, with the third zone having a dedicated vent between the center console and right A/C vent. Some users may find the cooling from the center vent lacking. The sport trim test car had a unique steering wheel, complemented by gloss accents and comfortable leather seats. The regular MMI screen in the car reminded me of the one found in the C-Class. Overall, the interior of the Audi A4 is well-crafted, with a focus on durability. Customers will appreciate the simplistic styling and modern ambiance of the interior.

The front-wheel-drive platform pairs the engine with a seven-speed S tronic gearbox, replacing the previous six-speed transmission found in older models. The engine delivers a punchy performance when needed, while also providing a smooth ride quality that customers are sure to enjoy.
