Amended to believe!

Usually, the buyer, choosing a car, starts with the appearance, but do not forget about the "content". A4 in this respect has got to cross is not the easiest, because the fight for the hearts and wallets of consumers it has to with their mothers, well-equipped professionals, as Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 serii.Tschatelno studying the market, marketers Audi came to the conclusion that satisfies A4 appearance of potential buyers, but some of them still prefer products of competing firms, due to the fact that, in the opinion of many, BMW and Mercedes-Benz engines and more frisky higher level of driving comfort - with rear-wheel drive. So when you upgrade A4 developers decided to pay special attention to the engine and is expected to issue a modification podveske.Ponachalu with a 1.6-liter engine to 102 hp, but this power plant because of the circumstances appear just in the middle of this year. The novelty set other engines: two-liter (on front-wheel drive version), a three-liter (four-wheel drive in) and 130-horsepower diesel engine, parts manual transmission only. Two-liter versions are equipped with a manual gearbox, and "the last peep" from Audi - stepless Multitronic.V beginning of the year by European dealers, a model with a 1.8-liter engine (150 hp, turbocharged), and are expected to fly closer to the machine with the "little» TDI (100 hp) and 2.4-liter V-shaped "six". Universal A4 Avant Premiere will go on sale in autumn after the presentation at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. The last modification will Coupe, which is slated for spring 2002 goda.Segodnya in the middle class the most popular vehicles with a 2-liter engine, and unfortunately, this is the power unit (A4 has a new head unit with five valves per cylinder) is slightly inferior to the same established by the Mercedes-Benz and BMW. In some modes, especially under load, Audi A4 2.0 clearly lacks courage inherent in two-liter "treshke» BMW, traction, and Mercedes-Benz C-class.

Firstly, the magnificent interior trim - no worse than in the same C-class. Secondly, the aerodynamic coefficient, adjusted to 0.28, that even the most modern commercial bodies is a great dostizheniem.Dinamika A4 with two-liter gasoline engine - one of the best in class: up to 100 km / h sprint in 9.9 seconds, its maximum speed of 212 km / h. At the same time consumption of gasoline (RON 95) is less than 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers (according to the manufacturer) and the stopping distance from 100 km / h is only 37.6 meters, which suggests a "great sport ". A4 has one of the highest levels of safety with six air bags (front and side) and high-quality protection side, hidden under the" froth "in the doors and center stack. Any climate in the cabin will help to create a powerful climate will evolve ustanovka.Kak battle for supremacy in the luxury car segment of the middle class, time will tell, but right now it is easy to believe in something that will get refreshed A4 decent rating in the reports of European sales.
