The fourth generation Audi A4 has set a precedent in the Indian luxury sedan segment and is the current de facto 'segment favourite'. Built on the Audi Modular Longitudinal Platform, the A4 is the perfect union of design and groundbreaking technology.
In the eyes of many, the Audi A4 has the same effect on one's aesthetic senses as that of the BMW 3 Series, if not more. It is a sedan much loved and watched for its contemporary design cues like the eye-catching goatee radiator grille, lithe body frame encompassing an angular hood and a short boot, enticing pearl LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and the smoking hot 17" alloy wheels.
The style of design is not just limited to the car's exterior but also seen in the interior. The racy console and dashboard strike a pleasant cord and when combined with the overall opulence, comfort and spaciousness of the interior, tantamount to a grand design success.
A slew of engines make sure that the A4 has as much go as show! Petrol engine options include a 180PS, 2-litre TFSI and a 265PS, 3.2-litre FSI Quattro, while diesel duty is done by a 143PS, 2-litre TDI and a 240PS, 3-litre TDI engine. Needless to say, the big petrol engine eclipses all the other engines when it comes to performance. However, all the engines endow their respective A4 models with decent fuel-economy and the ability to post good top speeds.
True to the kin of exclusive Bavarian sedans, the Audi A4 has supreme levels of comfort and safety features and encompasses almost everything, right from Audi's Multi-Media Interface system (MMI), Bang & Olufsen sound system, parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, cruise control to 6 airbags, ABS, EBD and Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP).
The Audi range starts from Rs. 29 lakhs and goes beyond Rs. 40 lakhs for the superlative 3.2-litre petrol variant. The new Audi A4 is aptly priced for a car of its standing and class, which might explain its good showing in our country, along with a remarkable growth in the number of high net-worth individuals in the last five years.
