The Audi A4 is a line of compact executive cars produced since 1994 past 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 80. The automaker's internal numbering treats the A4 as a continuation of the Audi fourscore lineage, with the initial A4 designated as the B5-series, followed by the B6, B7, B8, and the B9. The B8 and B9 versions of the A4 are built on the Volkswagen Grouping MLB platform shared with several models and brands beyond 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 drive, or on some models, "quattro" all-wheel drive.

The A4 is available as a sedan and station railroad vehicle. Historically, the second (B6) and third generations (B7) of the A4 also included a convertible version. For the 4th generation (B8) and onwards, the convertible, forth with a new coupé and 5-door liftback variant, was spun-off by Audi into a new nameplate called the Audi A5.

The first generation Audi A4 (known internally as the Typ 8D) debuted in October 1994,^{[4] [5]} with product starting November 1994 and European sales commencing in January 1995 for the 1995 model twelvemonth. Due north American sales after began in September 1995 for the 1996 model year.^[6] Information technology was built on the Volkswagen Group B5 (PL45) platform, which information technology shared with the fourth generation Volkswagen Passat (B5, Typ 3B). It had a forepart-mounted longitudinal engine and forepart-wheel drive. Many variations of the A4 were too available with Audi's quattro 4-wheel bulldoze organisation. The A4 was initially introduced as a four-door saloon/sedan; the Avant (manor/wagon) was introduced in November 1995 and went on sale in February 1996.

Development began in 1988, with the first design sketches being created later that year. By 1991, an exterior blueprint by Imre Hasanic was chosen and frozen for November 1994 production by 1992. The interior design was after finalized in 1992, with pilot product commencing in the offset half of 1994. Development concluded in the third quarter of 1994, preceding November 1994 start of production.^{[seven] [viii] [ix] [ten]}

A broad range of engines were available in European markets, betwixt 1.6 and ii.viii litres for petrol engines; and a 1.9-litre diesel engine bachelor with Volkswagen Group's VE engineering, capable of achieving a ninety PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS (81 kW; 108 bhp). The 2.6 and 2.viii-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 only V6 that was bachelor there until 1997. A 2.iv-liter version was developed especially for the Thai market, where import duty jumped from 60 to 100 percent on cars of over 2,400 cc deportation.^[eleven]

The Audi A4 was the first model in the Volkswagen Group to feature the new 1.viii-litre 20v engine with 5 valves per cylinder, based on the unit Audi Sport had developed for their Supertouring race auto. A turbocharged i.8T version produced 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) and 210 N⋅grand (155 lb⋅ft) torque. Moreover, a quattro GmbH special edition of the B5 ane.8T was later available in Germany and Europe, for which the engine's power output was raised to 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and 235 Due north⋅thou (173 lb⋅ft). Five-valve technology was as well added to a reengineered V6 family unit of engines in 1997, starting with the 2.eight-litre V6 30v, which at present produced 193 PS (142 kW; 190 bhp), followed by a two.4-litre V6 which was a downsize from the previous two.6 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 manual selection of the gear ratios.

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

Facelift (1999 –2001) [edit]

Sedan (facelift)

Avant (facelift)

The Audi A4 B5 saw nearly abiding minor changes and alterations throughout its seven-year run. Moreover, a pregnant facelift was introduced for the 1998 B5 model year at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Bear witness, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The two.viii-litre thirty-valve V6 engine replaced the two.viii-litre 12-valve. A two.five-litre V6 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) was standard on the Quattro. A six-speed manual gearbox was available, besides as the new high-operation Audi S4, at present office of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an Audi 100). Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles, and some other pocket-size exterior/interior changes.

In mid-1998, the 1.8 20vT engine available outside Europe had its power output raised to 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp). The previous KKK K03 turbocharger, although fundamentally unchanged, received revisions on the turbine side to prevent nifty due to rut.^{[ citation needed ]} The 12-valve V6 was replaced past the 30-valve unit which had been bachelor in Europe for 2 years.

A further facelift took identify across the A4 and S4 platform in February 1999 every bit a 1999.v model; changes were largely corrective but affected many components, such every bit 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 Product Upgrade), as was also signified by facelift cars now carrying the denomination "8D2".

In 1999 Audi also debuted an even higher performance RennSport model (rennsport literally translates equally racing sport), the RS4 Avant, like its predecessor RS2, available only in the Avant bodystyle.

The next A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on 10 Oct 2000, now riding on the Volkswagen Group B6 (PL46) platform. The automobile'southward new styling was developed nether Peter Schreyer between 1996 and 1998, inspired past the Bauhaus design language of the C5 (second-generation) Audi A6 introduced in 1997. The 1.6-litre base model powerplant remained unchanged, but most other petrol/gasoline engines received either displacement increases, or ability upgrades. The 1.8-litre twenty-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 one.vi-litre inline-four engine and 2.8-litre V6 were replaced by 2.0-litre, and all-aluminium alloy 3.0-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⋅one thousand (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. The 1.9 Turbocharged Straight Injection (TDI) engine was upgraded to 130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) engineering, and was now available with quattro permanent iv-wheel drive, while the 2.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 l:50 front to rear dynamic torque distribution. A Bosch ESP 5.seven Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) organization, with anti-lock braking organization (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.8 Turbo engines to 183 PS (135 kW; 180 bhp) and 190 PS (140 kW; 187 bhp) – the 190 PS variant designated by a crimson 'T' on the boot lid. Bachelor with iv wheel drive and in the 2.5 TDI intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A 2.0 engine with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) was likewise available. A year later, Audi reintroduced the S4, now powered by a 344 PS (253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.2 L V8 engine, equally well every bit 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 nether 30 seconds and incorporated some styling changes, such equally body-coloured lower bumper and sill panels, which afterward establish their way to the saloon version. The Audi A4 Cabriolet version was co-developed and manufactured by Karmann.^[17]

Audi introduced a continuously variable transmission developed past LuK, named multitronic, which replaced the dated conventional automatic transmission on front end-bicycle drive models. There accept been widespread complaints from consumers around the world that the transmission box is prone to electronic glitches also as mechanical bug.^{[18] [19]}

Borrowing from the Audi A6, the boot was redesigned to remove the extension of the top edge with a smoother fold line. The rear calorie-free assemblies now formed role of the top line, these styling cues were eventually borrowed by other European besides equally Asian manufacturers.^[twenty]

A sport package named 'Ultra Sport' was introduced in the North American market presently 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 xviii-inch RS4 blend 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, intermission geometry,^{[ specify ]} new internal combustion engine ranges, navigation systems and chassis electronics (including a new advanced Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system). The front grille assembly inverse to a tall trapezoidal shape in the aforementioned manner as the C6 (third-generation) Audi A6; however, the dashboard and interior were virtually unchanged from the B6 bated from minor detailing.

Audi's internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 (passenger car longitudinal platform, size 4, generation vi) for both B6 and B7 chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are also carried over from the B6 A4 range, but now have an additional identifying suffix – 8EC for the saloon, 8ED for the Avant, and 8HE for the Cabriolet.

The engine lineup received many additions. The 2005 introduction of Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) on the 2.0 TFSI and iii.2 V6 FSI petrol/gasoline engines, as well every bit other refinements, increased power output to 200 PS (147 kW; 197 bhp) and 255 PS (188 kW; 252 bhp), respectively. These engines both use a 4-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior five-valve pattern was incompatible with the FSI direct injection system (due to the siting of the fuel injector, at present discharging direct into the combustion chamber). The two.0 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine now combined Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology with 16 valves, while the larger ii.5 TDI V6 diesel was superseded past a 3.0 V6 TDI, offering a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during the yr 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 four-bike bulldoze remained as an option on most A4 models. Audi retired its v-speed manual transmissions in favour of a new Getrag 6-speed. As before, multitronic continuously variable manual (CVT), at present with selectable 'seven-speeds', was an choice on front-wheel drive models, whilst a conventional ZF 6HP half-dozen-speed tiptronic automatic transmission was an option on the quattro iv-wheel drive models.

In addition to the Audi S4, which carried over the powertrain from the B6 S4 – Audi reintroduced the quattro GmbH developed Audi RS4 (RS for RennSouthwardport) to the lineup, for the get-go fourth dimension on the saloon/sedan and Cabriolet trunk, and with a naturally aspirated, simply loftier-revving 4.two-litre V8 FSI engine. Another inclusion on the RS4 was the latest generation Torsen T-3 Quattro 4WD system, which uses a 'default' asymmetric 40:60 front-rear dynamic torque distribution bias. This new asymmetric eye differential was initially only bachelor on the RS4 only was added a year later on the S4. The remainder of the B7 A4 range still used the T-2 fifty:50 default dynamic split center unequal.

A variant, developed by quattro GmbH, was beginning introduced in May 2005, named "Audi A4 DTM Edition". Information technology was inspired past Audi's race cars of the 2004 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and was reintroduced in 2006 as a regular option. The 2.0T FSI engine received revised software mapping to the ECU, which increased the output to 220 PS (162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. Information technology was available with front-wheel bulldoze, or Quattro four-wheel drive.

The B7 Cabriolet model arrived later than the other ii body variants, being outset shown in late 2005 and with sales beginning in Feb 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 by Karmann until February 2009.^[24]

In 2007 Audi introduced a version of the B7 named the 'Special Edition', which built on the S-Line specification and also included the black optics pack, the RS4 style 8J 10 18 '7-arm double-spoke' design alloy wheels, Two-tone Graphite/Black Volterra leather, iii-spoke sports leather/Alcantara multi-function steering wheel with gear knob and hand restriction handle in Alcantara with argent stitching, ventilated cross-drilled front disc-brakes, blackness tailpipes and blackness roof rails (Avant model only). Information technology also 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 most reliable vehicle available on the market, with vehicle inspection rejection rate of 0.0% in three-twelvemonth-erstwhile 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 Group's SEAT factory in Martorell, Spain.^[26]

Audi released the start official pictures of the B8 series A4 in August 2007 and unveiled the car to the public at the September 2007 Frankfurt Motor Testify. Saloon/sedan and Avant (estate/wagon) models are offered. The Avant was unveiled to the public at the March 2008 Geneva Motor Prove. For N America'southward 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 congenital 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 increase in overall length.^[32] This effectively redistributes the middle of gravity slightly rearwards, improving treatment by improve 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 torso way and engine. The relocation of the steering rack in front of the axle besides 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 achieved by driving the flywheel/clutch remotely by means of a 'pinnacle lid' shaped drive plate, between which the differential lay shaft passes, whilst power transmission to the final 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 forrard than the previous B6/B7 generation platform.^[33] The transfer shaft, however, has the effect of creating a large "burl" on i side of the transmission tunnel, which on correct-hand drive versions forces the pedals to be desperately first, which has attracted criticism from the British motoring press in item.

The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase past 160 millimetres (half-dozen.three in) and in length by 117 millimetres (4.half-dozen in) over the prior B7, which has immune for increased rear seating legroom. Although the overall dimensions accept increased, the curb weight has dropped some 10%. The boot (trunk) has also increased to 480 litres (17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant will take a maximum chapters of 1,430 L (50.five cu ft) with the rear seats folded down.

Reception has been mixed, with praise for the Audi A4'due south increased size, giving it best-in-class rear legroom and torso space in the meaty executive car segment.^[34] Its inline-4 2.0 TFSI engine, while efficient providing plenty of torque, was considered lacking and less refined compared to six-cylinder engines of lighter rivals who posted faster acceleration times. Notwithstanding, the Audi S4 sports sedan has been well-received for its V6 3.0 TFSI engine's ability and efficiency.^{[35] [36] [37]}

The B8 A4 was facelifted in early 2012.

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

The quattro permanent 4-wheel drive system uses the latest Torsen T-three heart differential, with a default 40:60 front to rear asymmetric torque distribution ratio (used first on the B7 RS4) every bit standard. (Previous A4 Quattro models split torque with a default forepart:rear 50:l). The boosted torque bias applied to the rear wheels helps mimic the driving dynamics of rear-cycle drive cars.

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

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

With the 2012 facelift (the B8.5) came additional 163ps TDIe and TDI Ultra engines, the latter requiring the addition of adblue allowing for cleaner running, both of which fell into the lower emissions taxation bracket for the United kingdom, notwithstanding presenting a meaning operation improvement over the base 136ps and mid-range 143ps models.^[48]

Transmissions [edit]

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

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

Volkswagen settled a course-activity lawsuit in 2013 involving the failures of the CVT transmission in its Audi A4 and A6 automobiles for model years 2002–2006.^[50]
