Audi A4: “D” Survival and “D” Rive

Having released the updated A4 model, Audi raised the highest bar in the D-class to a qualitatively new level.
Perhaps someday the stream of engineering and design thought of automakers will run out, but it can definitely be said that in the Audi camp fresh ideas will disappear last.
A vivid confirmation of this was the appearance of an updated model from the Audi class D A4.
The Audi A4 of the previous three generations were very noticeable cars and gained considerable popularity around the world. It would seem that it is impossible to destroy the stereotype about a kind of good middle middle peasant, very high -quality and ergonomically, but poorly equipped compared to his older brothers!
But it wasn’t there: the competent management of the company and the galaxy of super-talented people who worked on the creation of a new generation A4, simply put, launched the model into space.
The exterior of the New Four - from the master of auto design of Valiter de Silva
The admiration and genuine interest in this car causes literally everything: appearance, inner world and, of course, running qualities. But about everything in more detail.
The exterior of the new four from the master design of Walter de Silva is revolutionary. If you move the patterns of the body of the new A4 from the world of cars to the world of high fashion, then at the output you will get a sort of sprinkled tuxedo, which looks appropriate both on a social rack and on the treadmill. To shake in curtsies and list the regalia of Walter de Silva you can an infinite amount of time, so we will be brief: a car that came out of the pen de Silva - like a priceless canvas of Michelangelo or Picasso.
Pure and peaceful lines of the central part of the body unobtrusively connect the masterpiece front of themselves and fry A4 stern. It is in the front of the car that external unmistakable recognition is concentrated, noticeable in all cars of the modern model range of Audi: a huge radiator trapezoid grate does not leave any chance of a mistake. And very impressive air intakes arising directly from under the grate and closed in the lower part of the bumper with a sharp and clear neckline, coupled with a sophisticated front optics, equipped with another premium element of the Audi LED headlight of the headlights, assign its owner a special status in the roadstream.
Clean lines connect the masterpiece front and fry the stern
The remaining far behind, like a reward, is the view of the A4 behind with its beveled headlights, a double and very appropriately located exhaust pipe, a spectacular line of trunk lid. By the way, the back is almost indistinguishable from the donor compartment A5, and that says it.
Compared to the previous generation, A4 became 117 mm longer and was heard in breadth of as much as 50 mm, becoming the size of the first level with the first generation of the car above A6.
It goes without saying that the increase in the dimensions of the body entailed and an increase in the internal space of the cabin, in which very tall people can continue to accommodate without any problems. But the main place in this car is still a driver’s. The ergonomics of all governing bodies, both primary and secondary,, by tradition, is on top. Such results were achieved due to the light turning of the central console to the driver. All buttons are in the reach zone, and using them during movement is not difficult. We add here various pleasant and functional options, such as ventilated seats with memory, as well as MMI with built -in Russified navigation, the most enjoyable in circulation among such systems, and many other things that allow you to drive this car for a very long time tired.
 
And it is precisely to manage and not just move from point and to point B there is something.
The car we tested was equipped with a 1.8-liter engine seasoned with a turbocharged and patented TSI fuel injection system, which issues 160 hp. And an impressive torque of 250 nm. All this power of the latest technologies is transmitted to the drive front wheels using the latest Multitronic Variator. Due to the use of new brands of steel in the construction of the body, which have excellent characteristics of strength and weight, A4, compared with the previous generation, was to lose weight by 10% and, as a result, demonstrate excellent dynamics and handling with all the above technique.
Also, our test car was equipped with the Audi Drive Select, which gives the pilot the ability to choose a car behavior with a simple press of the button: from comfortable to dynamic.
And what is very pleasant, in this case, the transition to the Dynamic mode is not limited, as on most of these systems, only by changing the operation algorithm, but makes all important nodes involved in the formation of a more dynamic driving mode. The steering wheel is filled with pleasant heaviness, becoming more acute and acquiring a more accurate feedback, the suspension becomes collected, and the gas pedal is more sensitive to the slightest wishes of the driver.
But in the absence of many optional systems, such as, for example, Audi Drive Select, the new Audi A4 will give odds to many competitors in dynamics, comfort and ergonomics.
Having released the updated A4 model, Audi raised the highest bar in the D-class to a qualitatively new level.
