Performance
quattro® All-wheel
Drive
Permanent
all-wheel drive systems are not created equal. And they certainly don't
perform that way, either. quattro® is essentially a mechanical system
devised around a torque-sensing, self-locking, center differential that
shifts torque instantaneously to where it's needed. This means quattro®
is adjusting power between front and rear axles more than 100 times a
second, helping ensure torque is delivered to the wheels where traction
exists. Under normal driving situations, quattro® distributes the power
between each axle by sending 40 percent to the front wheels and 60
percent to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving dynamics while helping
maintain optimum control. Constantly assessing grip, quattro® ensures
the best possible combination of traction and handling, regardless of
the road conditions.
Responsive
Suspension
Superior
handling is also a product of a dedication to the finest and most
applicable materials. By using lightweight aluminum suspension
components, unsprung weight is reduced, allowing the suspension to
respond more rapidly.
Handling
is further enhanced by the vehicle's front suspension design. Audi
engineers moved the front axle forward to improve agility, ensuring
premier handling for every road, every corner and every situation. For
the driver looking for sportier handling, the available Sports Package
offers a firmer, lower suspension as well as sport seats and high
performance tires for more assertive driving.
Audi drive
select
With 27
available vehicle handling and performance combinations, Audi drive
select is another example of Audi progressive technology. Whether you
prefer the smooth, luxurious ride of Comfort mode or the more direct and
firmer responses of Dynamic mode, Audi drive select allows you to
tailor the vehicle to your
liking.
Beginning with three
preset vehicle configurations, Audi drive select manages the adaptive
suspension, dynamic steering, transmission shift characteristics and
throttle response according to the selected mode: Comfort, Automatic or
Dynamic. Adding to the versatility of Audi drive select, the Individual
mode manages 27 personalized variations, essentially allowing the driver
to configure the vehicle driving dynamics according to his or her
precise preferences.
The
Audi 2.0 TFSI®
The
award-winning 2.0 TFSI engine provides 211 hp and 258 lb-ft. of torque
and combines Audi valvelift system, variable valve timing and TFSI®
direct injection for increased power and efficiency. The Audi 2.0 TFSI®
has been the engine of choice for more than 1.3 million Audi drivers
worldwide and is one of the most awarded engines of the last decade.
Exterior
Aggressive
Proportions
At the
front, the prominent Singleframe® grille punctuates the aggressive, low
stance of the A4. Below, the integrated rear spoiler and the radiant LED
taillights complete the progressive, assertive and thoroughly luxurious
look of the Audi A4.
Exclusive Front and
Rear Overhangs
Specially designed short front and rear overhangs create a lean,
athletic look while prominent contours add an overall sense of motion to
the A4.
Expressive Wheel
Options
The A4
comes with several distinctive wheels options. The unique 17", 18" and
19" wheel designs make a strong statement while complementing the
overall aesthetic of the A4.
Audi xenon plus
Headlights with LED Daytime Running
Lights
The
available signature LED daytime running lights and high-intensity
headlights not only add a distinct look to the vehicle, they also
improve visibility while using half of the energy of conventional
bulbs.
Interior
Design
Benchmark Fit and
Finish
The interior
of the A4 places you in the middle of thousands of exquisite details,
all designed to create a one-of-a-kind driving experience. The genuine
leather, wood and aluminum are honed and fitted to exacting
specifications. In fact, the wood inlays are installed with such
precision that only tolerances of less than 0.2 mm are
allowed.
Decorative inlay
options include premium materials like Brushed Aluminum as well as
genuine wood options such as Dark Brown Walnut and Nutmeg Laurel.
Genuine leather seating options include Black leather, Cardamom Beige
leather, Light Gray leather and Black leather with perforated Alcantara®
inserts. Together, they create an interior unmatched in its
class.
Dash-mounted MMI®
Display Screen with 3D
Navigation
The A4
comes equipped for the available 7" center dash-mounted MMI® display
screen. The easy-to-use MMI allows you to access various vehicle
systems, such as navigation, radio, telephone, voice activation and car
setup, to optimize your driving experience. The system also comes with
3D navigation, which displays the map in a three-dimensional
topographical format. For added convenience, a large number of cities
are displayed in a detailed, three-dimensional format, visually
articulating building and road specifics for easier
readability.
Extensive Audio
Capabilities
The
Audi A4 offers a considerable number of ways to enjoy the Audi sound
system or available Premium Bang & Olufsen® Sound System. Among
them is commercial-free Sirius Satellite Radio, the built-in DVD/CD
player, SD card slots, the MMI® 40-GB hard drive, as well as an Audi
Music Interface which allows you to connect and control your
iPod®.
Safety
ESC
The
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps keep the vehicle traveling in
its intended direction by utilizing ABS, the traction control of ASR and
the electronic brake force distribution of EBD. Specifically, when ESC
detects loss of traction, it automatically adjusts the throttle and
applies the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where you intend to go.
Braking is automatically applied to each wheel: at the outer front wheel
to mitigate oversteer, or the inner rear wheel to mitigate
understeer.
Six
Airbags
The six
standard, second-generation airbags provide an additional measure of
safety. They include front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger
and are designed to help protect the head. Seat-mounted, side-impact
airbags for the front seat occupants are designed to help protect the
thorax in a collision. And the side-curtain airbags offer front and rear
occupants head protection in the event of a side collision or
rollover.
Reacting to rear
collision forces, the head restraints help cradle the occupant's head in
an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash
injury.
Innovative Braking
System
Audi has
implemented a number of ingenious features to help maximize braking
effectiveness. In wet conditions, the brake disc wiping system gently
pulses the brakes to help dissipate water buildup. Keeping the discs as
dry as possible helps promote the most effective braking. Additionally,
the brake assist system is able to detect an attempt at full braking and
apply full stopping power when required. The advantage is that braking
distance is significantly reduced.
Safety Belt Pre-tensioners and High Impact
Crumple Zones
Inside, the Audi safety systems prepare for the worst once the brake
assist system is engaged. The safety belt pre-tensioners are activated
for front seat passengers and lock the safety belts in place. This is
intended to help keep passengers in the safest position in the event of a
collision.
When prevention
isn't enough, the combination of crumple zones and high-strength steel
helps deliver a tremendous level of protection for the driver and
passengers. Crumple zones, at the front and rear of the vehicle, are
designed to dissipate the energy and force of a collision by deforming
upon impact. The high-strength steel used in and around the occupant
cell is designed to protect the integrity of the passenger compartment
and those within it.
