Test drive Audi A4 B8 since 2007 sedan

The power of the hurricane

After the Audi TDI Weekend Audi Tdi Weekend, which was very interested in the new Audi A4 Audi A4 with a two -liter turbodiesel, was very interested in the Audi TDI Center for Audi TDI WEDE.
 
Of course, the fact that the Audi Center North chose the highway in Myachkovo as a test site was a huge plus. And the fact that it was on the Audi A4 2.0 TDI that races were held for a while, gave us the opportunity to try the car in maximum modes under the guidance of an experienced instructor. But in order to get a full picture, it was necessary to see how the four would behave in the conditions of everyday use.
 
While Moscow was preparing for the Victory Parade, it was decided to check what this car is capable of on the streets of the metropolis. We got A4 with an automatic, unacceptable gearbox of Multitronic gearbox with DRP and a fabric salon, almost basic equipment. But after landing behind the wheel, the presence or absence of any bells and whistles, and they can put a lot of them for an additional fee, has faded into the background. Sensations are as if dressing a good suit, fitted by a skilled tailor. The ergonomics of the driver’s place is excellent, and the range of adjustments of the driver's seat is impressive with a height of 192 cm still remains the margin of the chair.
 
So, the ignition key key lies in the pocket, press the Start Engine button with a quiet bass rumbling engine. We check the mirrors. The review is excellent!
 
True, it is not possible to go far to the Leningradka far away, to put it mildly, with an intense movement, simply to put a traffic jam. On the street, the sun shines in full, but in the cabin the temperature is determined exclusively by your wishes about this will take care of a two-zone climate control. Thanks to automatic transmission, slow rolling in the cork turns into a relaxed vacation. An excellent sounding audio system with MP 3 support will also brighten up such a pastime. And the ability to read tracks from flash cards of SD format will allow you to carry with you a phonotext of a practically unlimited volume.
 
Gradually, the movement is reviving, and now we are already moving in a normal city stream. The car gives a feeling of complete control over the road: an almost instant reaction to the gas pedal, clear unambiguous sensations on the steering wheel if you want to play the spot you will not have any problems. The diesel provides excellent traction starting with minimum revolutions, and at the expense of a well -designed suspension, the new A4 rides, like along the rails.
 
Now we complicate the task: with the driver alone, many cars demonstrate excellent dynamics and handling, and if you add three passengers? This is where the 2.0 TDI engine comes out. The TDI four -cylinder engine with the Common Rail injection system produces 143 liters. With. and provides 320 nm from 1,750 to 2,500 rpm. In practice, this means that even with three passengers and loaded trunk, the car is still extremely dynamic!
 
The degree of comfort of the rear passengers is at a very high level. Separate adjustment of the temperature of the supplied air (though non -electronic), individual cup holders, a lowering central armrest. But if a tall driver sits in front, then there are not so many legs left.
 
But the trunk seems just a huge 480 liter of useful volume! And if you fold the backs of the rear seats, then the container will increase to 962 liters. In practice, this means the following: a weekly supply of products for a family of four will easily enter the trunk. Or everything you need for a picnic in the country for ten people, with the exception of furniture, of course.
 
As the night falls into the city, and the cars are becoming less, the speed of traffic flows increases less. We select the DS mode on the checkpoint of the checkpoint and enjoy how the car is transformed. The hydromechanical transmission, which can change its gear ratio depending on the speed and the selected regime, pushes the steering rack, the box is changed. High -tech steering can be even larger. It is closely related to the ESP system, and therefore receives accurate information about the road situation in the critical field. The car turns into a controlled hurricane. The new A4 is gaining a hundred A4 for 9.8 s (according to our measurements, the factory number 9.4 C), the maximum speed, according to manufacturers, is 215 km / h. This figure could not be checked due to the restrictions of the speed mode.
 
Excellent accelerated dynamics goes well with a perfectly configured brake system. Ventilated brake discs 314 mm in front and 300 mm behind provide effective slowdown. The electronic system for maintaining the latest generation ESP also contributes to comfortable braking. Due to the precisely set pressure, the operation of the system occurs very smoothly. At speeds of less than 70 km / h ESP, you can turn off a special key.
 
The pleasure of traveling in night Moscow would be incomplete without impeccable work of lighting equipment. Given that not all our streets are covered properly, the flow of xenon light makes driving not only comfortable, but also safe.
 
To summarize: Audi A4 2.0 TDI is a great option for dynamic and at the same time economical driving both in city jungle and sports tracks. The price of the basic configuration is 1 million 180 thousand rubles.
 
And this car is worth it!
