In fact, we can consider that the Audi A4 B5 is an 80 due to the fact that in 1994 the Audi company decided to make a deep restyling of the 80 and give it the name A4. It was produced in a sedan body, but later a station wagon body appeared. In all its dimensions, the model was almost the same as the Audi 80, and in the interior there are also things reminiscent of the 80.
The first body was considered an experiment and was built on the same platform as the 5th generation Volkswagen Passat. As already mentioned, only the size remained from the predecessor, but they also took a 2.6-liter engine, it was slightly modified and began to be used in the new model, but after that it also disappeared from the car.
A lot of different technologies were used, but the company did not include all these technologies in mass production; they had to give up a lot, for unknown reasons. The Audi A4 is very similar to the Passat of those years, they differed only in body shapes and interior, everything else was practically the same. As a result, this model received status from buyers not as an ordinary car, but as a more respectable car, and because of this, it began to compete well with cars in the D-class.
Cars in this body style sold 1,690,000 units.
Exterior
The appearance is certainly outdated by modern standards; the smoothly sculpted hood, narrow halogen headlights and small chrome grille all look far from modern. The massive front bumper has plastic protection and air intakes, but the model still doesn’t justify this.
The profile is as simple as possible, slightly inflated wheel arches, plastic protection at the bottom and, in fact, there is nothing else interesting here. At the rear there are small halogen headlights and a raised trunk lid of the Audi A4 B5, which visually forms a spoiler with its shape, but in reality this is not the case. The massive rear bumper is equipped with a plastic insert and there is nothing else on it.
A4 body dimensions:
- length – 4479 mm;
- width – 1733 mm;
- height – 1415 mm;
- wheelbase – 2617 mm;
- ground clearance - 110 mm.
There was also an Avant station wagon, which was distinguished by high spaciousness and slightly better cross-country ability.
Audi A4 B5 interior
The interior, of course, will not be anything surprising either. There are good leather chairs here, but in expensive versions, which are quite rare. The seats are really comfortable; a person of almost any size will feel comfortable on them. There is enough space for both legs and head. The back row has a sofa for three passengers with an armrest; there is also enough space there, but unfortunately there is not much of it.
The steering wheel of the car can be either 3-spoke or 4-spoke, it is covered with leather and is adjustable in height and reach. The instrument panel is a lot of lights in case something malfunctions, as well as analogue gauges for the speedometer, tachometer, fuel level and oil temperature.
The center console received oval-shaped air deflectors, below we can see light control buttons, and under all this we are greeted by a standard radio, which is no longer found today. Below is the control unit for separate climate control, but it was in 1994. This is a couple of monitors and a number of buttons to control it all.
The tunnel has a small ashtray, a cigarette lighter, a rather large gear selector, a parking brake handle and a huge armrest. The trunk is very important in such cars; there is a fairly spacious luggage compartment with a volume of 440 liters, which can be increased to 720 liters by folding the seat building.
Technical specifications Audi A4 B5
The model had in its line just a huge number of power units, which are very reliable, as they are still running. These units, by modern standards, are not economical, since the basic one already consumes 11 liters. We won’t tell you about everything, since the article will be simply huge, here is a table of gasoline engines.
| Type | Volume | Power | Torque | Overclocking | Maximum speed | Number of cylinders |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 1.6 l | 101 hp | 140 H*m | 11.9 sec. | 191 km/h | 4 |
| Petrol | 1.8 l | 125 hp | 173 H*m | 10.5 sec. | 205 km/h | 4 |
| Petrol | 1.8 l | 150 hp | 210 H*m | 8.3 sec. | 222 km/h | 4 |
| Petrol | 2.6 l | 150 hp | 225 H*m | 9.1 sec. | 220 km/h | V6 |
| Petrol | 2.8 l | 174 hp | 250 H*m | 8.2 sec. | 230 km/h | V6 |
| Petrol | 2.8 l | 193 hp | 280 H*m | 7.3 sec. | 240 km/h | V6 |
And here is a table of A4 TDI diesel engines.
| Type | Volume | Power | Torque | Overclocking | Maximum speed | Number of cylinders |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 1.9 l | 75 hp | 140 H*m | 13.3 sec. | 183 km/h | 4 |
| Diesel | 1.9 l | 90 hp | 210 H*m | 13.3 sec. | 183 km/h | 4 |
| Diesel | 1.9 l | 110 hp | 235 H*m | 11.3 sec. | 196 km/h | 4 |
The car is built on a completely new platform, which has a completely independent suspension made of aluminum. A multi-link system is used both front and rear. The brakes are fully disc, but only the front ones have ventilation.
As you already understand, you definitely have a choice. In addition to engines, you can also choose a gearbox, as there were 5-speed manual transmissions, as well as 4 and 5-speed automatic transmissions. The engines are, of course, a little old, but they still last and are cheaply maintained.
Price
Of course, you can only find a new car like this in the Audi museum, but they won’t sell it to you. This model can only be purchased on the secondary market, where the price is completely different due to many years of production and a large number of engines; condition also plays a role. The cost varies from 150,000 rubles to 400,000 rubles, which is a fairly serious range for a secondary car.
This is a good car as a budget purchase, it is comfortable and, in principle, it can be called legendary. If you still decide to buy an Audi A4 B5 (1994-2001), then be prepared to repair it, although it is reliable, it is not eternal, the years take their toll.
