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

The A4 has been built in v 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 80 lineage, with the initial A4 designated as the B5-series, followed past the B6, B7, B8, and the B9. The B8 and B9 versions of the A4 are built on the Volkswagen Grouping MLB platform shared with several models and brands across the Volkswagen Group.

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

The A4 is available as a sedan and station railroad vehicle. Historically, the second (B6) and 3rd generations (B7) of the A4 too included a convertible version. For the 4th 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.

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

Evolution began in 1988, with the first design sketches being created later that twelvemonth. By 1991, an exterior design by Imre Hasanic was chosen and frozen for November 1994 product by 1992. The interior design was later finalized in 1992, with pilot production commencing in the start half of 1994. Evolution ended in the 3rd quarter of 1994, preceding November 1994 showtime of production.^{[vii] [8] [ix] [10]}

A broad range of engines were bachelor in European markets, betwixt 1.6 and ii.8 litres for petrol engines; and a 1.9-litre diesel engine available with Volkswagen Group'south VE technology, capable of achieving a ninety PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). The 2.6 and two.8-litre V6 engines which had been carried over from the onetime lxxx/ninety proved popular, although in N America, the 2.eight-litre engine was the merely V6 that was available there until 1997. A 2.4-liter version was adult especially for the Thai market, where import duty jumped from 60 to 100 pct on cars of over 2,400 cc deportation.^[11]

The Audi A4 was the first model in the Volkswagen Grouping to feature the new 1.8-litre 20v engine with five valves per cylinder, based on the unit Audi Sport had developed for their Supertouring race car. A turbocharged 1.8T version produced 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) and 210 North⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) torque. Moreover, a quattro GmbH special edition of the B5 1.8T was afterwards bachelor in Germany and Europe, for which the engine'southward power output was raised to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and 235 N⋅m (173 lb⋅ft). Five-valve engineering science was also added to a reengineered V6 family of engines in 1997, starting with the 2.eight-litre V6 30v, which now produced 193 PS (142 kW; 190 bhp), followed past a 2.4-litre V6 which was a downsize from the previous 2.half dozen litre, 150 hp (112 kW) engine, but with a power increase to 165 PS (121 kW; 163 bhp).

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

The B5 marked Audi'due south continued motion into the midsize luxury machine segment, having started this trajectory notably with after model years of the preceding Audi 80/90 B4. Despite initial mechanical bug, overall build and assembly quality were lauded both past the automotive printing and inside Audi and Volkswagen, and at the time, parent company Volkswagen alleged 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 virtually constant small changes and alterations throughout its vii-year run. Moreover, a significant facelift was introduced for the 1998 B5 model year at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Evidence, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The 2.8-litre xxx-valve V6 engine replaced the ii.8-litre 12-valve. A 2.5-litre V6 Turbocharged Directly Injection (TDI) diesel engine with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) was standard on the Quattro. A 6-speed manual gearbox was available, as well equally the new high-functioning Audi S4, now part of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an Audi 100). Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles, and some other minor exterior/interior changes.

In mid-1998, the 1.8 20vT engine bachelor 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 prevent slap-up due to heat.^{[ citation needed ]} The 12-valve V6 was replaced by the thirty-valve unit which had been available in Europe for two years.

A further facelift took identify across the A4 and S4 platform in February 1999 every bit a 1999.5 model; changes were largely cosmetic merely afflicted many components, such equally both front end and rear bumpers, the front and rear lights, the middle console, and door handles.^[12] This facelift was known at Audi every bit a Grosse Produktaufwertung (Major Product Upgrade), as was as well signified by facelift cars now carrying the denomination "8Dtwo".

In 1999 Audi also debuted an even higher performance RennSouthwardport model (rennsport literally translates as racing sport), the RS4 Avant, like its predecessor RS2, bachelor merely in the Avant bodystyle.

The adjacent A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on 10 October 2000, now riding on the Volkswagen Group B6 (PL46) platform. The machine's new styling was developed under Peter Schreyer betwixt 1996 and 1998, inspired by the Bauhaus design linguistic communication of the C5 (second-generation) Audi A6 introduced in 1997. The one.6-litre base model powerplant remained unchanged, but most other petrol/gasoline engines received either displacement increases, or power upgrades. The 1.8-litre twenty-valve Turbo was at present bachelor in 2 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.vi-litre inline-four engine and 2.8-litre V6 were replaced by 2.0-litre, and all-aluminium alloy three.0-litre units, still with five valves per cylinder, the most powerful of which was capable of 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅grand (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 1.9 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engine was upgraded to 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology, and was at present available with quattro permanent four-wheel drive, while the ii.five V6 TDI high-end model was introduced with 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and standard quattro. This generation of quattro consisted of default of 50:50 front end to rear dynamic torque distribution. A Bosch ESP 5.7 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) organisation, with anti-lock braking system (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 1.8 Turbo engines to 183 PS (135 kW; 180 bhp) and 190 PS (140 kW; 187 bhp) – the 190 PS variant designated past a cherry-red 'T' on the boot lid. Available with iv bike drive and in the ii.5 TDI intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A two.0 engine with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) was also available. A year later, Audi reintroduced the S4, now powered past a 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.2 L V8 engine, likewise as an A4 Cabriolet convertible variant ( Typ 8H), finally replacing the 80-based Audi Cabriolet which had been discontinued in 2000. Information technology included an electro-hydraulic operated roof, which lowered in under 30 seconds and incorporated some styling changes, such equally body-coloured lower bumper and sill panels, which afterwards constitute their style to the saloon version. The Audi A4 Cabriolet version was co-developed and manufactured by Karmann.^[17]

Audi introduced a continuously variable transmission developed by LuK, named multitronic, which replaced the dated conventional automatic transmission on front-wheel bulldoze models. In that location have been widespread complaints from consumers effectually the globe that the transmission box is prone to electronic glitches every bit well as mechanical problems.^{[18] [19]}

Borrowing from the Audi A6, the boot was redesigned to remove the extension of the summit edge with a smoother fold line. The rear light assemblies now formed part of the superlative line, these styling cues were eventually borrowed past other European every bit well as Asian manufacturers.^[xx]

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

Interior

Audi introduced a revised A4 in late 2004, with the internal designation of B7. Although given a new platform designation, the B7 was substantially 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 advanced Bosch ESP viii.0 Electronic Stability Plan (ESP) system). The front end grille assembly changed to a tall trapezoidal shape in the same manner as the C6 (3rd-generation) Audi A6; nevertheless, the dashboard and interior were virtually unchanged from the B6 bated from small detailing.

Audi's internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 (passenger motorcar fiftyongitudinal platform, size 4, generation 6) for both B6 and B7 chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are likewise carried over from the B6 A4 range, simply 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 two.0 TFSI and three.2 V6 FSI petrol/gasoline engines, besides 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 four-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior 5-valve design was incompatible with the FSI direct injection system (due to the siting of the fuel injector, now discharging directly into the combustion chamber). The two.0 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine at present combined Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) engineering with 16 valves, while the larger 2.v TDI V6 diesel was superseded by a three.0 V6 TDI, offering 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.vii V6 TDI was added afterwards.

Torsen T-2 based quattro permanent iv-wheel drive remained as an option on most A4 models. Audi retired its v-speed manual transmissions in favour of a new Getrag 6-speed. Equally before, multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), now with selectable 'seven-speeds', was an option on front-wheel bulldoze models, whilst a conventional ZF 6HP 6-speed tiptronic automatic transmission was an option on the quattro four-bike 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 starting time time on the saloon/sedan and Cabriolet body, and with a naturally aspirated, but high-revving 4.ii-litre V8 FSI engine. Another inclusion on the RS4 was the latest generation Torsen T-iii Quattro 4WD system, which uses a 'default' disproportionate 40:60 front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias. This new asymmetric heart differential was initially only available on the RS4 only was added a year later on the S4. The balance of the B7 A4 range still used the T-2 50:50 default dynamic split center diff.

A variant, developed by quattro GmbH, was offset introduced in May 2005, named "Audi A4 DTM Edition". Information technology was inspired by Audi'due south race cars of the 2004 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and was reintroduced in 2006 as 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 N⋅one thousand (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. It was bachelor with front-wheel drive, or Quattro four-wheel bulldoze.

The B7 Cabriolet model arrived later than the other two body variants, being first shown in late 2005 and with sales outset 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 congenital on the S-Line specification and as well included the black optics pack, the RS4 style 8J X xviii '7-arm double-spoke' design alloy wheels, Two-tone Graphite/Black Volterra leather, 3-spoke sports leather/Alcantara multi-function steering bike with gear knob and hand brake handle in Alcantara with argent stitching, ventilated cross-drilled front end disc-brakes, black tailpipes and black roof rails (Avant model only). It also had a power increase of xx PS, giving an output of 220 PS on the 2.0T model.

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

Audi released the outset official pictures of the B8 series A4 in August 2007 and unveiled the car to the public at the September 2007 Frankfurt Motor Prove. 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 connected 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 betwixt the engine, transmission and front end axle, the MLP allows for a reduced front overhang, resulting in a greater wheelbase length without the same increase in overall length.^[32] This effectively redistributes the centre of gravity slightly rearwards, improving handling by better balancing vehicle mass between the front and rear axles. The estimated static forepart: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 beam also improves handling over previous A4 platforms.^{[ citation needed ]} Cardinal 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 chapeau' shaped drive plate, between which the differential lay shaft passes, whilst ability transmission to the final drive is via an inclined transfer shaft which runs the length of the transmission unit. Whilst the platform retains Audi'south "overhung" engine mounting position, the front axle is at present 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 manual tunnel, which on correct-hand bulldoze versions forces the pedals to be badly offset, which has attracted criticism from the British motoring printing in particular.

The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase by 160 millimetres (6.3 in) and in length past 117 millimetres (four.six in) over the prior B7, which has allowed for increased rear seating legroom. Although the overall dimensions take increased, the curb weight has dropped some x%. The boot (trunk) has also increased to 480 litres (17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant will have a maximum chapters of 1,430 L (fifty.five cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.

Reception has been mixed, with praise for the Audi A4's increased size, giving information technology best-in-class rear legroom and torso space in the meaty executive machine segment.^[34] Its inline-4 two.0 TFSI engine, while efficient providing enough of torque, was considered lacking and less refined compared to 6-cylinder engines of lighter rivals who posted faster dispatch times. Nonetheless, the Audi S4 sports sedan has been well-received for its V6 three.0 TFSI engine's power and efficiency.^{[35] [36] [37]}

The B8 A4 was facelifted in early 2012.

During a model, cycle changes are made to integrate new technologies and to proceed the model competitive. These changes are referenced based on the model twelvemonth (MY) of the motorcar. In Australia, the B8 has undergone 2 revisions leading to three variants, the B8, B8 MY10^[38] and B8 MY11.

The quattro permanent four-wheel drive system uses the latest Torsen T-3 centre differential, with a default 40:threescore front to rear asymmetric torque distribution ratio (used first on the B7 RS4) as standard. (Previous A4 Quattro models split torque with a default front end:rear 50:fifty). The additional torque bias applied to the rear wheels helps mimic the driving dynamics of rear-wheel drive cars.

Audi was reported to end offering 3.2L V6 models in 2010 model year,^[47] but still offers them as of Baronial 2011 (Deutschland).

All petrol engines apply Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), and all diesel engines utilise the common rails fuel delivery (with a force per unit area of ane,600 bars (23,000 psi)), with piezo injectors of their Turbocharged Direct Injection engines.

With the 2012 facelift (the B8.v) 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 tax bracket for the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, yet presenting a meaning performance improvement over the base 136ps and mid-range 143ps models.^[48]

Transmissions [edit]

In 2009, Audi announced the 7-speed Due south-Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission as an option for A4 in the UK and European markets.^[49]

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

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