Used Audi 4x4 cars for sale

How do Audi 4x4 cars work?

Audi 4x4 cars for sale have a very advanced all-wheel-drive system, known as ‘quattro’, that distributes the power to all four wheels, increasing traction and stability on all road surfaces.  

It was initially developed for motorsport cars in the 1980s and has since been integrated into almost all Audi models. 

This quattro system sends power from the engine/electric motor(s) to both the front and rear axles.  

This ensures that each wheel receives power, providing better grip and control, especially in adverse conditions like rain, snow or mud.  

The system includes torque vectoring technology, which can adjust the power distribution between the wheels to optimise performance, even during high-speed cornering. 

What Audi 4x4 cars are available?

Most Audi models come with a 4x4 quattro variant which means there are plenty of options on offer. 

These come in a range of body styles including hatchbacks, saloons estates and SUVs. 

They also come with a few different engine options including petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and electric. 

What are Audi 4x4 cars like to drive?

Audi 4x4 cars give you added confidence when driving in all scenarios, meaning you can carry on your journey without any worry. 

The system provides exceptional traction and stability, making it ideal for various driving conditions, from wet and icy roads to dry and winding country roads. 

You also benefit from Audi's Drive Select modes, which allow drivers to switch between modes to improve comfort, efficiency, dynamic performance and more. 

Audi 4x4 vs. rear-wheel drive cars

There’s a distinct difference between Audi 4x4 cars for sale and rear-wheel drive cars. 

The main one is how the wheels are driven. The 4x4 system drives all four wheels, whereas a rear-wheel drive car drives the rear wheels only. 

For most people, rear-wheel or front-wheel drive would be more than enough, but if you want the added stability and confidence of a 4x4, then a quattro Audi is the way to go. 

Who are Audi 4x4 cars suitable for?

A used Audi 4x4 is suitable for anyone and everyone. They bring increased traction, safety and usually appear in SUVs which are a favoured body style for UK buyers. 

There are many vital rivalling models to pick from, including BMWs and Volkswagens, but Audi’s quattro system sits at the top of the food chain most of the time.
