Audi A4 Features

Driving Experiance 

The A4’s steering is precise and perfectly weighted at all speeds, and the sophisticated suspension finds that happy place between a comfortable ride and adept handling. The 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is a sheer joy in either manual or fully automatic mode, and Audi still offers a 6-speed manual for die-hard old-schoolers. If you could peel away the 2018 Audi A4’s cool virtual gauge cluster, remove the adaptive cruise control and turn off the adjustable shock settings, you’d still have an amazingly fun performer. The high-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder puts every ounce of its 252 horsepower to good use.

Handling - The A4 might not engage with the driver quite like a Cadillac ATS, but there is no denying its impressive traction (thanks to the optional all-wheel drive and sticky summer tires), flat cornering and stability in emergency situations.

Streeing - Steering is the A4's dynamic weak point. There is a numbness to it regardless of the three available settings (Comfort, Auto and Dynamic), and it does not engage the driver as well as the best competitors do. It's linear and well-weighted, but feedback is lacking.

Breaking - The moderately firm pedal feel and travel length offer easy modulation in all instances. In our panic-stop test, the A4 stopped from 60 mph in a very impressive 99 feet. Sticky, zero-cost optional summer tires clearly had a lot to do with that, but it's still a remarkable result.

Acceleration - This is an impressively quick and smooth car. The A4's engine is quieter than other turbo four-cylinder engines, too. A zero-to-60-mph time of 5.3 seconds is a full second quicker than previous-generation A4s and matches the BMW 328i for the quickest-in-class base engine.

 Overview


The 2018 Audi A4 sedan continues this trend, increasing the availability of quattro all-wheel drive and packing in more hardware and luxury features. Audi continues to lead the midsize-luxury segment by offering such fantastic features as a customizable color instrument display featuring a virtual speedometer, tachometer and a giant navigation display using Google maps. Slotting above the smaller A3, the all new audi A4 is a compact luxury sedan that’s available in front- or all-wheel-drive configurations. In addition to the sedan body style, the A4 is also available as a raised wagon called the Allroad. At the top of the range is the high-performance S4.



 Worthly of Notice
 
  • The 2018 Audi A4’s adaptive cruise control can help maintain a safe distance between the car and traffic ahead; it can slow or even bring the car to an emergency stop; it can even anticipate upcoming curves or onramps and slow the vehicle to a safe speed before encountering them.
  •  Audi has taken the LCD gauge concept to the extreme, and its accomplishment is on full display inside the 2018 Audi A4 Prestige. The driver can choose to minimize the virtual gauge sizes allowing the entire screen to be filled with a satellite view of the road. It’s like Google Earth for drivers.
  • The 2018 Audi A4 Ultra, along with the front-drive A3 sedan, were the first Audi vehicles to utilize the high-fuel economy version of Audi’s 2.0-liter turbo-four.
