TheAudi A4is acompact executive carproduced by theGermancar manufacturerAudi AGsince late 1994. The initial generation A4 succeeded the four previous generations of theAudi 80. And just like its Audi 80 predecessor, the Audi A4automobile layoutconsists of alongitudinally orientedengine at the front, withtransaxle-typetransmissionsmounted immediately to the rear of the engine, again, oriented longitudinally. Drive output is transmitted to either thefront wheels, or on some models, utilising Audi’s’trademark’quattropermanentfour-wheel drivesystem via aTorsencentredifferential.
Since its inception, the Audi A4 has been available in four generations, based on theVolkswagen Group’B’ seriesofautomobile platforms. Audi’s internal numbering convention therefore treats the A4 as a logical continuation of the Audi 80 lineage, hence the initial A4 was designated as the B5-series, followed by the subsequent B6 and B7, and the current B8.
Of the mainbody styles, it is(and always has been) available as asaloon/sedan variant, and an "Avant", which is Audi’s name for anestate/wagon. The second(B6) and third generations(B7) of the A4 also had aCabrioletversion, but the Cabriolet was not retained for the current fourth generation(B8), Audi now having Cabriolet versions of the relatedAudi A5 and S5coupés— and also the smallerAudi A3.
Additionally, higher performanceversions directly related to the A4 include theAudi S4, and the limited availabilityquattro GmbH-developed very high performanceAudi RS4.
it is a very nice car and a really value for money car
