OD Rating

The A4 has undergone a much-needed facelift. I say much-needed because when the ninth-generation A4 debuted a few years ago, it looked far too similar to the model it replaced, which in itself had been around far too long. The result was that the new A4 couldn’t quite replicate the success of the iconic A4 B8, at least in the Indian market.

Design

That A4 B8 was quite a looker back in the day and even today it looks quite desirable. The string of LEDs in the headlamps brought some modernity to the segment, and now, the facelift given to the A4 B9 does something similar. The segmented brow which looks like it’s made up of wafer-thin OLEDs like the more expensive cars from Audi looks sophisticated, fresh and unique and it’s not easy to pull off something like this while wearing corporate attire.
