2013 Audi S4

A bestseller is becoming much more attractive: Audi has up-to-date the A4 series. New solutions for efficiency, driving dynamics and infotainment, together with a much more attractive design, attest the “Vorsprung durch Technik” accomplished through the A4 Sedan, the A4 Avant, the A4 allroad quattro and also the S4.

Design

The A4 is Audi’s bestseller – for 39 years as well as in its eighth generation. The company has offered ten million such models as a whole. The Audi A4, using its elegance, sportiness and emotional appeal, forms the focal point from the Audi brand. And today the look is becoming much more clearly defined and striking in most models – the Sedan, the Avant, the allroad quattro and also the S4.

The brand new look further highlights the lines of horizontal type in the front-end. The engine hood is much more arched, top of the corners from the single frame grille are tapered, and also the mix ribs and also the Audi rings are outlined three-dimensionally. The grille is colored grey, rich in-gloss black around the six-cylinder models or in conjunction with the S line exterior package. The remodeled bumpers are striking using their angular air basins, their modified grilles and also the flat front fog lights. The Audi A4 allroad quattro is distinguished by its grille’s horizontal chrome programs by the round fog lights.

Interior

The inside from the Audi A4 models has additionally been refined. Audi offers a big selection of recent steering wheels with chrome and-gloss inlays, using the leather sport controls also having a flattened lower rim. The steering arm and also the ignition key happen to be modified. High-gloss programs and also the slender chrome trim in the controls add elegance towards the interior.

The elaborate finish makes operation even simpler and much more intuitive. The MMI navigation plus system now features four rather than eight buttons, having a script function integrated within the volume control dial. Other enhancements concern operation from the automatic transmission, the efficient ac systems, Audi drive choose and also the multi-purpose controls. The chair hvac are actually directly operated in the particular buttons.

Engines

The brand new Audi A4′s drive system sets new standards. The consumption levels have came by 11 percent normally, regardless of the elevated energy and torque of most of the engines. Within the Sedan and also the Avant each, Audi offers some of six TDI and four gasoline engines, with 23 possible engine-transmission combinations. All engines are supercharged direct-injection systems the beginning-stop system and also the recuperation system are standard throughout.

The TDI engines mix tugging energy with pioneering efficiency, using the four-cylinder versions showing extensive modifications. A brand new centrifugal pendulum-type absorber (within the 2. TDI with 100 kW, 120 kW or 130 kW with quattro drive) within the dual-mass flywheel makes engine running much more refined and quieter at low revs, for earlier upshifting and savings as high as .2 liters per 100 km.

Drivetrain

The number of drivetrains is normal of Audi. A six-speed stick shift is standard around the Sedan and Avant models with front-wheel drive most variants offer continuously variable multitronic being an option. The quattro versions have either the stick shift or (by the two. TDI with 130 kW (177 hewlett packard)) the seven-speed S tronic aboard. The Audi A4 allroad quattro utilizes a stick shift or S tronic with all of engine versions.

The innovative thermal management system reduces the length of the nice and cozy-up phase from the stick shift, amongst other things, and therefore reduces friction loss. All transmissions are distinguished by convenient and precise operation, high quality along with a endemic of equipment ratios – the lengthy ratios within the greater gears reduces fuel consumption, as the short ratios within the lower gears help the dynamics.
