Audi has been a very well-respected name in India in the luxury car business and the A4 is what helped it cement its reputation here. The angular, sharp look debuted here in 2008 with the 4th generation B8 shape. Along the way, a few nips and tucks later came the B9 which also meant a bit of a facelift in 2019! This year, Audi decided to do it again – a new facelift but a lot of new goodies as well and a more powerful BS6 engine. The diesels have now disappeared and in its place is the new knight in shining armour – the 2.0-litre TFSI Ultra with 190 horses and 320Nm of torque. This one of course claims to do the 100 sprints in 7.3 seconds with a top whack of 240kmph!
But I get ahead of myself. First of course, let’s talk about the external changes. The first thing to strike you are the new LED headlights – with their serrated DRL and segments inside, they look classier than the past units. The taillights are similar – the same serrated look gives a nice illumination and of course the trademark matrix direction indicators look nice; something that has been copied overwhelmingly by the Chinese! Of course, the new front grille looks kind of cool too, while retaining Audi’s traditional look.
