Sport Package (also available in Premium Plus) contains a sport suspension, a three-spoke steering wheel, seats more aggressively reinforced and shift paddles automatic transmission. Optional rear airbags are available on the Premium Plus and Prestige trim only, but all A4 is entitled to wood interior trim.

Propulsion and Performance

Turn on all 2012 Audi A4 has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 211 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque across. Premium and Premium Plus Sedan trim levels come standard as 2.0T Multitronic FrontTrak, indicating that it has front wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All the fillings may have to 2.0T Quattro, the designation of the four wheels and either a manual six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission. The striker is only available with automatic transmission and Quattro.

The acceleration of the A4 is as strong as other entry level luxury sedans, returning a 0-60-mph times in the middle range of 6 seconds, according to estimates from Audi. The Multitronic CVT is a bit slower than 7.2 seconds. The estimated fuel economy EPA FrontTrak 2.0T is 22 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined - very frugal for a luxury sedan. The 2.0T quattro reaches an impressive version 21/29/24 and 21/31/25 with automatic transmission with manual shift.

Security

Standard safety features for the Audi A4 2012 include antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front airbags and seat side curtain airbags. The side airbags in the rear seat are optional on the Premium Plus and Prestige, while a blind spot warning system is optional on the Prestige. Also available is an "Active Braking Guard" feature that is part of the optional adaptive cruise control on the Prestige. If an imminent collision is detected, the system warns the driver and brakes for the first power full stop.

In government crash tests, the A4 received an overall rating of four stars out of five possible four stars for frontal crash against the world and five stars for side impact protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the A4 over its rating of "Good" in frontal crash tests, both offset and lateral stress tests of the roof, and that was without the optional rear seat airbags.

In braking tests, Audi A4 Avant with sport package was stopped at 60 mph in a surprisingly short 103 feet - almost the same as a Porsche 911. Without the sport package, A4 Quattro sedan stopped at an average of 123 feet but are still acceptable.

Interior Design and Special Features

Among the luxury sedans are entry-level Audi A4 Cab 2012 is considered one of the best in its class. The interior is spartan design gives an air of gravity adults, while high-quality materials, send a message of sophisticated refinement. The use of leather as standard equipment also gives Audi an advantage over their competitors BMW and Mercedes that uses vinyl leatherette.

Most of the MMI infotainment functions are conveniently located around the gear lever, on models equipped with navigation system, but cars without navigation, the MMI on the dashboard, which is much less convenient and user friendly. Navigation-equipped vehicles also get the newer and improved GUI. A4 Other controls are generally intuitive and beautiful, but access to certain features can be an exercise in frustration. Adjusting something as simple as the fan speed, for example, is a two-step process.

12 cubic feet in the trunk is of medium size sedan, so it is useful to look forward, offering 17.3 cubic feet. Fold the front seat down and has 51 cubic feet: a useful amount, if less than average for a car raked rear window of Audi.

Driving Impressions

The 2012 Audi A4 treatment is neutral and safe, especially when the car is equipped with four-wheel drive. Drivers with a penchant for performance is probably the athleticism of all sports added to your taste, but ride quality suffers (especially in combination with 19-inch wheels).

The turbocharged four-cylinder offers a faster competitive class, but lacks the refinement of a six-cylinder engine, the transmission of vibration through the steering wheel unpleasant.

Note also the optional Audi Drive Select system, which lets the driver choose between three driving modes for managing compliance efforts and response capacity of the transmission - or enjoy the custom settings through fourth "individual "mode. It's an interesting idea, but a bit pricey, and the evidence found that it creates more problems than solutions. Most buyers should look for standard A4 suspension calibration, transmission direction and perfectly adequate.

2011 Audi A4 Review

In 2011, Audi A4 comes in sedan and wagon body styles (Front). Both come in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige body styles.

Prix ​​standard 17-inch cut alloy wheels, sunroof (panoramic and Avant), cruise control, fog lights, automatic climate control, eight pieces front seats, tilt and telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather interior, the dash mounted on the Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) and 10-speaker audio system has a CD player, auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio. Premium options include heated front seats, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity.

These items come standard with the Premium Plus, which adds automatic bi-xenon, LED daytime running lights, windshield wipers, three zones of automatic temperature control, auto-dimming mirror and trip computer enhanced.

The S line package available on the Prestige is essentially just a sports package inserts before, with and special exterior and interior finish. The Sport package available in titanium top quality and prestige of the sport is essentially a set with a black steel rims, 19 inches.
 



2011 Audi A4
Propulsion and Performance

Each 2011 Audi A4 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 211 horsepower and a generous 258 lb-ft of torque. Premium and Premium Plus Sedan trim levels come standard as the 2.0T Front withdrew, saying it has front wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All profiles can be taken as 2.0T Quattro, indicating four-wheel drive and either a standard six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission. The front is only available with automatic transmission and Quattro.

We have yet to test an A4 with the new eight-speed automatic, but the old six-speed unit has contributed to a decent life time of 6.5 seconds 00-60. Fuel economy EPA-estimated before the 2.0T has attracted the highway is 22 mpg city/30 mpg and 25 mpg combined - very cheap for a luxury sedan. The 2.0T quattro reaches an impressive yet 21/29/24 21/31/25 estimated and automatic with manual.

Security

The 2011 Audi A4 comes standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front airbags and side curtain airbags. Side airbags, rear seats are optional on the Premium Plus and Prestige, while anti-blind spot warning is optional on the Prestige. Also available is an "active braking guard" feature that is part of the option of adaptive cruise control in the Prestige. If an imminent collision is detected, the system warns the driver and brakes for stopping power in the first place.

In crash tests of the new government more difficult by the year 2011, the A4 received an overall rating of four stars out of five possible four stars for frontal impacts and five-star general side collision protection. The Insurance Institute crash tests for Highway Safety, the A4 received a perfect score of "good" in frontal crash tests, both offset and side and was without the optional rear seat airbags.

In the braking test, Sport package A4 Avant stopped 60 mph surprisingly short 103 meters - about the same as the 911 sedan without Quattro Sport package A4 stopped on average, but still acceptable 123 meters.

Interior Design and Special Features

The interior of the 2010 A4 is one of the best in its class. The surfaces are smooth and textured as well, whereas the rule prevails over the leather upholstery of the leather-like vinyl on the base model BMW and Benz. Controls most functions of information and entertainment (called MMI) are in an ideal position near the shifter for models with navigation system, but no cars were in the MMI navigation panel, which is a much less practice. Car navigation is also equipped for the latest improved version of the MMI. Other controls are intuitive and generally well designed A4, despite having access to some functions can be an exercise in frustration. Establishment of something as simple as the fan speed, for example, is a two-step process.

12 cubic feet in the trunk is of medium size sedan, so it is useful to look forward, offering 17.3 cubic feet. Fold the front seat down and has 51 cubic feet: a useful amount, if less than average for a car on the elegant Audi rear.

Driving Impressions

For 2011, Audi A4 handling is neutral and safe, especially when equipped with all-wheel drive. It becomes downright sporty when you add the sport package, although the ride quality suffers (especially with 19-inch wheels).

The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is a mixed bag. It gives the acceleration A4 competitive class, but it does not sound as refined as a six-cylinder, and send some off-side of the vibration in the steering wheel.

Note also the optional Audi Drive Select system, which lets the driver choose between three driving modes for managing compliance efforts and response capacity of the transmission - or enjoy the custom settings through fourth "individual "mode. It's an interesting idea, but a bit pricey, and the evidence found that it creates more problems than solutions. Most buyers should look for standard A4 suspension calibration, transmission direction and perfectly adequate.
