1 Groundbreaking.

2 The A4: at the heart of Audi.

The is an extremely successful model. It is not only the Audi A4 the Audi that is recognised most across the globe and popular vehicle (58 % of the total volume of the Audi A4). On the Audi with the longest history – the Audi A4 family is also the brand’s is distributed the most throughout the world. It is therefore an one hand, the product improvement strengthens the factors that top model line in terms of both volume and profit. The success story important representative of the brand’s image and expresses have made the Audi A4 a success up until now − such as design, of the Audi A4 began in 1972, in those days still under the name “Vorsprung durch Technik”. In 2010, the model line accounted for sportiness and handling characteristics − and on the other hand . The Audi A4 was given the model name that it carries today no less than 28 % of Audi’s total global sales. The Saloon proved puts the emphasis firmly on the subject of efficiency. The Audi A4 in 1994. By 2011, more than nine million vehicles from the model to be the most successful model worldwide (59 % of the total therefore has all the attributes needed to continue to play an im­ line had been sold. This is one important factor that makes the volume of the Audi A4). In Europe, the Avant is by far the most portant role for the brand and in the markets in the future as well.

Info Note for readers: This Productinfo focuses in detail on the differentiating features/new features of the Audi A4 and Audi S4 models resulting from the product improvement measures. If nothing to the contrary is indicated, the differentiating features always apply to all derivatives of the Audi A4 and Audi S4 models. Highlights.

Design.

•• Progressive exterior look due, for example, to the new light design at the front and rear as well as new LED daytime running lights (pages 10, 11) •• New Audi single-frame grille with chamfered upper corners accentuates the high quality and elegance (page 10) •• More precise contours create an extroverted appearance (page 10)

Engines and efficiency.

•• Newly developed 1.8 TFSI and upgraded 3.0 TDI are currently the TFSI or V6 TDI engines with the lowest consumption 5 in their class (pages 19, 21) •• Numerous technologies such as intelligent thermal management and electromechanical power steering increase efficiency and ride comfort even more (pages 20, 27) •• Start-stop system as standard for all engines meeting EU5 and EU6 standards (page 23)

Driving qualities.

•• Audi drive select with efficiency mode* facilitates customisation of the vehicle characteristics and contributes to efficient driving (page 25) •• Optional adaptive with full application below 30 km/h (available for the first time) enhances ride comfort and active safety (page 26) •• Standard-equipment electromechanical power steering improves steering comfort and precision (page 27)

Standard equipment and optional extras may vary from country to country. Details of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are shown from page 51 onwards. * Efficiency mode only with models from 105 kW upwards. Market and customers.

The success story continues.

The mandate for the product improvement is to strengthen the the Avant to the allroad quattro and the S models, all the even further. And one principle applies to all Audi A4 successful market position of the Audi A4.
