Test drive the new Audi A4. The "fifth" sedan Audi A4. A luxurious and elegant premium sedan

The new 2019 Audi A4, shown in the photo, is already the 5th version of the sedan from the Ingolstadt manufacturer. It premiered at the end of June 2019 and was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Looking at the photos of the new 2019 Audi A4 model, it can be noted that the headlights are made in the form of an independent block of diodes, which has an adaptive lighting function. The same headlights were installed on the A7 and A8 versions, so it will not be difficult to purchase spare parts.

The fog lights did not change their location, they only made room for a little, making room for the sensors of the road marking tracking system and cruise control radars. Such innovations did not prevent the preservation of the attractive appearance of the fog lamps, but, on the contrary, slightly shifted, they began to better complement the image of the new model.

The rear of the car looks very stylish due to the 5th door and the presence of taillights. The feet have got modern bulbs and shades made of strong plastic. The taillights are located on a large area, so now they are clearly visible both from the side and from behind, even at considerable distances.

If we compare the bumpers of the new car with previous versions, then they have acquired a sporty style, leaving the inflated forms in the past. Pleased with the clearance rate, which is 140 mm. That is why the Russian roads will be subject to both the sedan and the station wagon versions.

Now consider the dimensions of the 2019 Audi A4 2019, presented in the photos below:

  • the length was - 4700 mm;
  • the height is 1420 mm for the sedan, 1440 mm for the station wagon;

Salon - what's inside?


If you look inside the new Audi A4 2019, you will be pleasantly surprised by the presence of a comfortable steering wheel, comfortable control of all systems, pleasant trimmings and stylish interior colors.

Every car enthusiast knows that a new car has its own unique smell. This novelty smells good of leather, as the entire interior is leather-trimmed. No less pleasant is the presence of the information steering wheel, which is made in the style of minimalism: only a few buttons, but everything is at hand.

It is also worth noting that the steering wheel assumes control of the servo, which inherited from the A7 model. The main feature of the steering wheel is unprecedented convenience. Near the gear lever, you can see a special panel with buttons.


The stop / start button is also located here, which provides lower fuel consumption. This function is not available for all configurations, for example, the basic version can get it with a surcharge.

A separate plus is high-quality interior trim and durable plastic. Leather upholstery of seats, steering wheel, doors, levers won the hearts of many car owners. It would seem that the price of the new 2019 Audi A4 model, which can be seen in the photographs, does not allow the use of such good finishing materials, but the brand was able to successfully prove the opposite.

Weaknesses and strengths

Having studied the numerous reviews of the owners, we can highlight the main pros and cons of the model.

Among the advantages are noted:

  • roomy interior, luggage compartment;
  • nice suspension;
  • comfort;
  • application of modern technologies;
  • ergonomics;
  • excellent handling;
  • insignificant fuel consumption;
  • good power;
  • fast acceleration.

Of the shortcomings, one can only single out:

  • folding of the rear row seats is not provided;
  • poor insulation of wheel arches;
  • narrow neck of the washer tank;
  • high price of additional options.
Market alternatives

Like any other car, the A4 2019 has its competitors. One of them was the new Mazda 6.

If we compare this model with Audi, then we can say that it has the same fuel consumption per hundred, but accelerates faster (in 7.8 seconds versus 10.5 seconds for Audi). Mazda also excels in power and price: 150 hp. against 120 hp from Audi, and the cost of its basic configuration is 1,085,000 rubles.

Of the minuses, one can only note the less rich interior trim. But if the interior decoration is less important to you than the characteristics and power, then you should definitely choose a Mazda.

The mid-size premium sedan Audi A4 of the fifth generation (with the internal designation "B9") debuted at the end of June 2015 - on the Internet ... for several months), it went on sale in the main markets (including in Russia).

As a result of "reincarnation" - the Ingolstadt "a-four" remained faithful to the corporate style, but completely renewed its equipment (while adding in size, but throwing off "extra pounds").

The appearance of the "fifth" Audi A4 did not become a big surprise - the three-box retained its recognizable shape, although it was transformed in accordance with the latest trends in the corporate style of the brand from Ingolstadt.

The car looks beautiful and presentable, and considerable credit for this belongs to the front end: a trapezoidal radiator grill, an aggressive bumper and stylish lighting equipment with L-shaped running lights, reminiscent of a lightning bolt (by default - bi-xenon, optionally LED or matrix).

Austere, but not devoid of dynamism, the silhouette of the German Quartet demonstrates correct and harmonious proportions, the solidity of which is added by the embossed wheel arches that accommodate disks ranging from 16 to 19 inches.

The rear of the sedan is made in a calm and laconic style, but it is not deprived of modern attributes: LED lights of the original shape and a raised bumper with a pseudo-diffuser.

Depending on the engine, the machine has a single or twin tailpipe at one end, or a pair of pipes spaced apart at the ends.

As a result of the generation change, the dimensions of the Audi A4 have not changed much: 4726 mm in length, 1842 mm in width and 1427 mm in height (the first two indicators, respectively, added 25 mm and 16 mm). The wheelbase of the "German" is 2820 mm, and the amount of ground clearance depends on the suspension: 135 mm in the basic version, with an emphasis on comfort - 10 mm lower, and for sports - 23 mm lower.

The interior of the "A4 of the fifth generation" is a combination of avant-garde and classics, and most obviously it concerns sedans with a "virtual cockpit", which is a digital instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch screen under the usual visor. In simpler versions, it is replaced by a simple panel with analog dials and a small "scoreboard" in the middle. Directly in front of the driver, there is a multifunction steering wheel, the design of which is directly influenced by the level of equipment.

In the very center of the presentable front panel there is a “tablet” of the multimedia complex with a diagonal of 8.3 inches, below which a wide air conditioning control unit with an individual display, a pair of “washers” and several buttons “took up defense”. Modern design is echoed by high-quality finishing materials (expensive leather, real wood and aluminum) and a premium level of workmanship.

For the "fifth A4" there are anatomical chairs with a well-thought-out profile, pronounced support on the sides, a wide range of settings and heating (optionally also with ventilation, and even with electric adjustment of the lumbar support). The increased dimensions of the body also affected the organization of the rear passenger seats - there was more space on all fronts.

Amenities for a fee include a 10.1-inch multimedia center screen and individual climate settings.

The trunk of the sedan does not shine with capacity, but 480 liters should accommodate without problems.

Specifications. On the Russian market, the 5th generation Audi A4 is offered with a wide range of four-cylinder turbo engines, in tandem to each of which a 7-band S tronic "robot" is allocated.

By default, the car is equipped with a front-wheel drive transmission, and for the most powerful gasoline unit, the quattro system with a limited-slip differential is available, which divides the thrust in a ratio of 40:60 in favor of the rear (if necessary, it can go forward up to 70% of the available potential, and back - up to 85%) ...

The gasoline part is presented in three options:

  • the base of which is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with direct fuel supply, producing 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque in the range from 1500 to 3000 rpm. It allows the German D-sedan to "shoot" from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.9 seconds and gain 210 km / h "top speed", consuming an average of 4.9 liters of fuel in combined mode.
  • it is followed in the hierarchy by the 2.0 TFSI ultra engine, equipped with direct fuel injection, turbocharger and electronic coolant level control technology, which is available in two boost levels. Its returns include:
    • 190 "horses" and 320 Nm of thrust at 1450-4200 rpm,
    • or 249 forces 370 Nm of limiting torque at 1600-4500 rpm.

    In the first case, the fifth Audi A4 spends 7.3 seconds to accelerate to the first hundred, the second, 1.5 seconds less, the maximum speed reaches 240 and 250 km / h, respectively. In the combined driving cycle, the three-volume box consumes an average of 4.8-5.7 liters of fuel per 100 km of run.

  • Available for the "four" in the back of the B9 and a 2.0-liter turbodiesel, which, depending on the modification, generates:
    • 150 "mares" of power and 320 Nm of maximum thrust at 1500-3250 rpm
    • or 190 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque ranging from 1750 to 3000 rpm.

    With the "junior" unit, the car exchanges 100 km / h after 8.7 seconds and "storms" to the maximum of 219 km / h, with the "senior" unit these figures are 7.7 seconds and 237 km / h, respectively. The "appetite" of such a sedan varies from 3.7 to 4.1 liters in the combined cycle.

It is possible that in the future more efficient diesel engines will be brought to our country - V-shaped "six" with a volume of 3.0 liters, producing from 218 to 272 "horses" of power and from 400 to 600 Nm of potential.

The fifth generation of the Audi A4 is built on the modernized MLB bogie, which is based on high-strength steel, winged metal and composite materials, which, depending on the installed engine, saved up to 120 kilograms of weight. A five-link suspension is mounted at both the front and rear, in which the upper arms are connected to the bodywork for optimal rigidity.

Optionally, the "German" is equipped with adaptive shock absorbers with two settings - comfortable and sporty.

The steering of the car "flaunts" an electromechanical amplifier (for a surcharge - with a variable gear ratio), and the braking system - disc mechanisms on all wheels (front - with ventilation).

Options and prices. In the Russian market, the fifth generation Audi A4 in 2018 is offered in three equipment options - "Base", "Design" and "Sport".

  • For a base car equipped with a 150-horsepower engine and a front-wheel drive transmission, dealers ask for a minimum of 1,970,000 rubles. By default, it boasts: six airbags, 16-inch alloy wheels, bi-xenon headlights, light and rain sensors, heated front seats, a dual-zone "climate", electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, a multimedia complex, an audio system with 8 speakers, ERA-GLONASS technology, ABS, ESP, rear parking sensors, "cruise" and other modern equipment.
  • For the configurations "Design" and "Sport" you will have to pay from 2,150,000 rubles, and a car with all-wheel drive will cost from 2,499,000 rubles. The first version has 17-inch wheels, a three-spoke multi-steering wheel with leather trim, an interior lighting package and some other "gadgets", and the second one has 18-inch "rollers", a more developed body kit around the perimeter of the body, sports front seats, and interior upholstery, headlining and dashboard in black materials.

In addition, a wide range of additional options is provided for this four-door.

The time has come for the new 2018 Audi A4. Audi fans will soon be able to fully appreciate the new German brainchild of the automotive industry. The result of the restyling was a more serious look, but at the same time the refinement and refinement of the car was added.

The main innovation of the new body is its change from a rough shape to a smoother, sleeker one. Flowing lines are present everywhere, from the bonnet to the boot lid. The "eyes" of the sedan are made in the form of blocks with diodes, which have the function of adaptive lighting. Similar headlights have already been used on the and models.

Next to the fog lights are markers tracking sensors and cruise control radars. Such innovations have somewhat embellished the already decent exterior of the 2018 Audi A4.

In the profile part of the car, the changes are insignificant. Added Tornado stripe, new 18 "rims installed, adding 25mm to the length.

The rear of the Audi also complements the solid appearance of the car with its asymmetry, and clearly visible taillights, which are located at a distance from each other.

In general, the dimensions of the updated Audi A4 are as follows:

  • Length - 4.7 m;
  • Height - 1.42 m;
  • Width - 1.83 m.

Salon

Considering the preliminary photos of the car, the interior is also not deprived of many pleasant additions. The first thing that catches your eye is the gorgeous steering wheel. It combines simplicity and versatility. Equipped with all the necessary control systems, while the number of buttons located on the steering wheel is minimal. Behind the steering wheel is a huge display that contains a lot of important information.

For the first time in the entire history of the company, the updated Audi A4 was equipped with a large digital display instead of all the boring set of buttons. But, alas, such a screen will be available only to owners of more expensive configurations. Below is the already familiar climate control unit. Gear lever, a row of buttons next to it. Among the buttons there is a function that provides lower fuel consumption.

A lot of smart technologies have also been added, especially the "Turn Assist" system, which, when driving into an oncoming lane, will automatically brake the car.

As for the interior of the cabin as a whole, it is made at the highest level. High-quality leather seats, soft plastic, metal and wooden elements will not leave anyone indifferent.

Specifications

According to the past test drive, we can confidently say that the car shows great promise in technical terms. The new Audi A4 Allroad model will carry a 2.0-liter petrol-fueled power unit. The power of such an engine will be 211 hp. These high-speed characteristics are complemented by all-wheel drive, which allows the car to reach up to 230 km / h in 6.8 seconds. As for the Audi A4 Avant, it will have the same 2.0 displacement engine, but the power will drop to 190 hp. But due to some modifications, it was possible to increase the streamlining of the hull, thereby reducing the acceleration speed. The top speed has also increased and now reaches 236 km / h.

Options and prices

The Audi A4 will have two trim levels. For the price of 2,250,000 rubles, it will be possible to purchase basic Design or Sport. The main difference between trim levels will mainly be in the features provided and engine power. But the transmission will be the same on all versions - a seven-speed robot. The price of the most advanced version of the Audi A4 Avant will be about 3,000,000 rubles.

Competitors

Like all cars, the Audi A4 has competitors.

1. Mazda 6

The updated one provides quite strong competition. If we focus on technical characteristics, then Mazda succeeds: it has the same fuel consumption as Audi, but accelerates much faster. In terms of power and price, Audi is again inferior to Mazda. The only advantage that can be noted with Audi is the richer and more luxurious interior appearance. What is more important to you, power and speed, or beauty and sophistication - you decide.

2. Kia Optima

The second, in no way inferior competitor is. And here history repeats itself. If we compare the basic configurations, then again Audi is inferior to Optima in terms of power and acceleration speed. But it is worth noting the advantages of Audi, consisting in the same high-quality interior department and the prevalence of many useful functions and systems.

Release date in Russia

The start of sales of the sedan in Russia has already started. In addition, it is known that the station wagon will appear on the Russian market in about six months. Unfortunately, the extended version of the Audi A4 L will not be introduced to the market. The new Audi Allroad will go on sale only a year after the presentation in Russia, this SUV will give odds to anyone in its class.

The German company Audi has always been famous for its luxury and comfort. The updated Audi A4 2018 model year is a complete confirmation of this. If the main thing for you is not the speed characteristics of the car, but comfort and reliability, then the Audi A4 is exactly what you need.

In this review, let's take a look at the Audi A4 Allroad Quattro, the off-road version. The styling combines family motives, as well as new off-road ramifications based on elongated station wagons.

The new 2018-2019 Audi A4 in the photo clearly demonstrates a different style of body kit, reinforced bumpers, with a hint even at some off-road capabilities of the car. In addition to the exterior, we will also consider the Audi a4 technical characteristics, what innovations await us in the new model.

Audi A4 Allroad Quattro 2019-2020 has become wider, larger, with obvious volumetric and increased forms. The off-road styling has played a decisive role. At the same time, it is impossible to call the car a new model, because, despite all the changes, it is still the same classic station wagon, in a slightly different dress.

The front part is more presentable, bright, and all due to the plastic body kit, nevertheless, it changes the car seriously. Although, in general terms, the same bumper is not much different, even the radiator grille, bumper overhangs, air intake sections, all this came from the previous model.

The vertical "runners" of the radiator grill look very interesting, it is a pity that they did not enter into a single family style of the concern. The optics received a new filling, with this in mind, the forms themselves were slightly transformed. More and more resembling triangles, with slanting sides.

The silhouette is somewhat surprising, namely a long strip of chrome trim over the entire threshold. It is not entirely clear for what purpose it was decided to insert chrome on an off-road car.

Classic black matte plastic would have looked more attractive. The wheel arches, most likely due to the same body kit, received a volume, in principle, it looks good, but it was necessary to allocate a large area with plastic in the rear, so that there were no such disagreements.

The new model Audi A4 Allroad Quattro in the rear of the car in the general format is unchanged, except for the main innovations in the fifth generation, in terms of changes in the optics and body kit of the bumpers, as well as the angle of inclination of the trunk lid.

The taillights did not dare to combine according to the traditional scheme, but left only unfinished triangles, like their predecessor, only with a slightly elongated platform itself. The usual exhaust socket, without a forked pipe, looks modest, the double exhaust was much more effective, or even completely hidden.

Interior

Inside, the new Audi A4 of the future 2018-2019 does not differ significantly from its prototype. And in general, the design style is family-like as never before, there are practically no new products. Specifically, the A family has always tried to bring it under a single palette, including even interior trim.

The only thing worth highlighting is the appearance of a reddish illumination above the center tunnel, doorways, and also in the area of ​​the pedals. It should be noted that the front panel is no different, a classic virtual block with imitation for standard "wells", there is nothing new here.

The steering column shows a reduced thickness of the steering wheel itself, not only of the rim, but also of the interceptions in the middle. But the lower "canine", on the contrary, has strengthened, which is why in the maximum upper position of the steering wheel, the steering wheel itself seems to rise slightly above the panel, but the visibility is preserved.

The central part of the torpedo presents a tilted area to the driver, with a retractable monitor, a small block of keys for climate control. The central tunnel itself was transformed only in the sense that the gearshift lever and the "twist" with the choice of the operating mode were changed places.

The seats have lengthened, at least in the front, due to the elongated cushion itself. At the same time, the level of lateral support itself remained the same. Traditionally, the very base of the seats is wide, but even so, it did not work out to free up space for the middle rider in the back.

It will still not be comfortable in the legs, if the passengers do not feel any discomfort from the side, then the person in the middle is clearly not happy. Although there is a profile and even a headrest for him, but the protruding tunnel, probably even more than that of its predecessor, ruins all plans for a full-fledged journey.

Technical Indicators

Six power plants are ready to offer for the new Audi A4 Allroad Quattro. The Audi A4 has the minimum engine characteristics that made it to Russia, tax 249 hp. modernized engine of the 2018-2019 generation turbo, with a working volume of 2.0 liters. He is also familiar from other models of the concern, which have already gone into series after restyling. Other engines are diesel, with a volume of 2.0 to 3.0 liters. their capabilities are from 163 to 273 hp.

Audi A4 marking 1 8 T will be equipped with two boxes, this is a 7-band "robot" and an 8-band "automatic", it is not yet known about its delivery to the Russian Federation. Fuel consumption, like its predecessor, with a reduction in fuel consumption, the manufacturer did not succeed, the car is already considered the most economical in this class, because few can boast of 6 liters of consumption.

There are no secrets on the structure of the suspension, a full-fledged copy of the "civilian" version of the modular platform MLB, with which all "fours" of the latest generation flaunt. The design features of the suspension are the same, a completely independent base, with additional shock absorbers. Substantial readjustments were not even carried out.

The electronic filling of the car is nothing new, with the exception of some options, for example, the appearance of an adaptive chassis with controlled shock absorbers. On the steering wheel, the same assistant, with a variable number of gear ratios. The braking system in the "base" is provided by six assistants.

Options and prices

Sales of the Audi A4 Allroad Quattro started last year. The minimum cost, as promised, is kept at the level of the civilian Audi A4 station wagon, namely from 2 794 000 rubles. The equipment of the base remains standard, even the legendary Audi A4 B5 at one time received about the same allotment of options and technologies.
