About the Audi A4

The Audi A4 was first introduced to the world in 1995, and it has come a long way since then. Modern iterations of the A4 feature a luxurious interior with great technology, great exterior styling, and elevated levels of safety.   

Some more modern versions of the A4 from 2019 feature additional features such as a mild-hybrid assistance system to keep a little strain off your engine and reduce the car’s fuel consumption.  

The entry-level model, known as the Technik, comes with some excellent standard features, with many more being introduced as you move up the range to the Black Edition and earlier Vorsprung trim levels.   

You’ll also benefit from the sleek and reliable Audi manufacturing if you opt for a used A4, which is a huge selling point for many motorists.  Plus, used Audi models usually more affordable.

What features does the Audi A4 have?

The A4 is packed full of technology and is often praised for having one of the best interiors in its class.

Standard models feature either a 6.5-inch or 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system depending on the year it came out. Later models feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Overall, its interior is very impressive and stacks up well against its rivals. 

As for inside space, the A4 has a decent-sized boot and plenty of passenger space, but this does vary depending on the body style. When compared to its rivals, the A4 has one of the biggest interiors of its class, making it perfect for families – and the dog. 

The boot of the saloon (which is the most popular model) measures in at 480 litres, increasing to 965 litres with the rear seats folded flat.  

What's the Audi A4 like to drive?

When it comes to engine options, used A4 models are available with a wide collection. You can pick from offerings like the 1.4-litre petrol engine, a larger 2.0-litre petrol engine and a range of 2.0-litre diesel engine options.   

There is also a range-topping RS4 model that comes with a very powerful 450hp engine, but this tends to be bought by those who really have a need for speed.  

If longer drives are what you will be doing, then the A4 is a great mile-muncher, especially with any of the diesel engine options because of their increased fuel efficiency.  

Some A4 models come with Audi’s all-wheel drive quattro system, which has historically proven to be the best in the game – and it really helps with slippery conditions.
