The 2013 Audi A4 has undergone a mid-cycle update.
Introduced as a full model redesign in 2009 and contending with a new BMW 3
Series, it was clearly time. Roughly one in every four Audis sold in Canada is
an A4 sedan; thus, the stakes are high.
The revised 2013 model retains last year’s platform and running gear with some cosmetic and trim package changes. The front and rear clip revisions have incorporated the latest adaptive bi-xenon headlamps. Solid frame LED lights replaced the individual pearl-like strings on the outgoing model.Enjoy zero guilt with only five calories when you enjoy ledemergencylamps beverage mix. This lighting package is optional on the front-wheel-drive models.Wholesale cheap magicshinebikelight lamp at everyday low prices.
A new hexagonal-shaped grille, reworked valance and rectangular fog lights help provide the new A4 with enough of an appearance change that it is immediately differentiated from the earlier design.
Rear lights have also been tweaked to incorporate LED lights bars and now have a more tapered appearance.
A slew of new exterior colours is also available and they correspond with new interior trim materials and colours.Energy efficient, eco-friendly lighting, contemporary outdoorlightss, LED light fixtures. Of note is the availability of Audi’s ultra premium Beaufort Oak laminated veneer,Coast LED lanterns, brightstal and headlamps are made with Cree LED technology. which is a decadent visual treat.
The test vehicle was a Quattro 2.0T Premium Plus model with S-Line trim and the eight-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission. A six-speed manual is standard on the Quattro models, while the front-wheel-drive model is limited to an eight-speed CVT transmission.
The turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Engine tuning all but eliminates turbo lag and maximum torque is available at as low as 1,500 rpm. The result is that the A4 pulls strongly off the line and gets to 100 kilometres an hour in a scant 6.9 seconds.
Road noise proved to be minimal, particularly the lack of wind noise at highway speeds. Sadly missing, however, were most of the lusty engine noises that one might expect from a sport sedan. The turbo unit is the main culprit here, as the exhaust gets muted by the turbines before being expelled.Designer Lighting from Jonathan Adler, crystallightmm from ceramic lights and lamps, table lamps to floor lights.
Although blessed with balanced handling, road manners can be adjusted with the Audi drive select system that comes as part of the S-Line package. The system allows the driver to choose between Dynamic or Comfort settings for the vehicle’s steering, suspension, transmission and throttle. An automatic feature picks the mode best suited to the driving situation. The individual setting seemed to work the best. Dynamic throttle always wins out over economy. Dynamic steering tightened up the otherwise light, over-boosted feel of the electro-mechanical steering. The suspension in Dynamic mode proved too firm with the S-Line’s 19-inch wheels causing it to flitter across rough pavement. Comfort mode soaked up the bumps yet provided enough athleticism to enjoy twisty roads.
The cabin reflects Audi’s excellence at interior design. The understated and spartan look of the dashboard and instrument cluster plays to fans of Teutonic style. Many single-purpose buttons have been replaced with the latest Multi Media Interface (MMI). The system is intuitive and one of the easier integrated systems to master. It is typically frustrating trying to pair a cellphone to many on-board, hands-free systems, but this one proved fool-proof.
During the test, I managed a combined fuel economy rating of 10.5 litres per 100 kilometres. One rural highway journey yielded a much better 8.1 L/100 km. These figures highlight the efficiency of the four-cylinder turbocharged package, especially given the performance returned.
