The format A4

"Nice car, like everything in it: the quality and comfort, and appearance, and speaker, but just not catchy. With charisma did not work "- an opinion addressed to the previous generation Audi A4 can often be heard from the lips especially zealous fans of other German premium brands. The car was in a kind of limbo, occupying an intermediate position between solid drayvovym BMW and Mercedes. But the 35-year life model - and its roots, it goes to the first "vosmidesyatke» Audi in the distant 1972 - spit this "neutrality" has found, finally, a stumbling block. They became a really charismatic appearance, with a new "four" ready to tear to shreds long accompanied its corny charms stereotip.Pod car once you get to stay. One only has to meet eyes with a complete view of the severe dignity of lights, "failed" path LEDs on the rising tide of positive "walk" along the sides and blend vyshtampovkam waterfall of emotions from the springboard of a small spoiler on the trunk lid. Fingering auto eyes "from tail to head," you can flavor the overall impression a couple of rear lights la coupe A5, enjoy a new side mirrors with a strip of diode repeater turn, and after thoughtfully to stay with a redesigned front bumper in an attempt to gather together what they saw. And when the brain puzzle fall into place, there is an unshakable confidence that the design ingolshtadtskim maestro once again managed to realize a constant desire - to create cars that accurately guess the identity of the brand with the four rings. The new A4 is perceived as a flesh and blood of Audi. Basically, of course, "the flesh" mid-size sedan A6 at which a beginner can easily take on the profile body. The "quartet" is also up to him in length (4703 mm), width (1826 mm) and especially on the wheelbase (2808 mm), in memory of its predecessor left unchanged but the height (1427 mm). This gain resulted in a 20 ? gallon increase in the luggage compartment (480 liters) and significantly expanded cabin space. The latter being designed here a completely new way. But if a comfortable seat with lots of adjustments to seat a man with a blindfold and took off the bandage, ask to define the model, I fear, even a great connoisseur of Audi will be a long contract the brow in an attempt to understand where exactly it is. All details of the interior to crunch the limbs on the same familiar "six." Starting from a convenient multifunction steering wheel, completing the configuration of the instrument panel informative and intuitive MMI optional multimedia system on the center console. The result was a very successful symbiosis: on the one hand - a bright, new, even a recognizable appearance, on the other - verified ergonomics salon. So joy spring this car just can not help but add. Highly nutritious vitamin cocktail prepared in Ingolstadt in ride quality Audi A4, which had a chance to "taste" for example, the very modest capacity version of the model - with a 1.8-liter turbocharged 160-horsepower FSI. Compared with the parent engine, this unit has a 25 lb more "torque". All 250 Nm occur in a wide range of engine speed from 1,500 to 4,500 min-1, which provides the car sure "catch" almost from the start and good acceleration up to 120 km / h. However, on reaching this reaction rate is the "quartet" on the gas pedal pushed into becoming not so bright. Stepless CVT Multitronic different soft and smooth. No stuttering or, God forbid, thinking. In addition, the electronic "filling" is easy to adapt the box to the driving style a particular driver. Thus, it is possible to improve an already good car even without dynamic translation selector in Sport mode. Multiple active acceleration - and the next time you press the accelerator the tachometer needle immediately soars to area high speed, giving the possibility of sitting behind the wheel "poshustrit." And after a brief calm movements are back to square one. "Smart» Multitronic vested and manual mode. Eight fixed-gear switch "twitching" back and forth floor selector manual or pressing the keys on the steering wheel. But the big win in the dynamics of this is not felt. Although drayverskogo excitement "manipulative therapy", of course, causes great excitement dobavlyaet.Esche handling Audi A4. With increasing speed, the force on the wheel increases, providing good feedback. Thanks to the improved weight distribution and tightly tuned suspension model, serpentine roads of Sardinia is easy to give up under the pressure of high-speed "quartet". However, none of the electronic assistants never even blinked during the trip, although the approach speed into the turns at times been on the brink of reason. It is true that the special needs and was not: the car is clearly on a trajectory without requiring adjustments, and fits into the bends with only minor rolls. But sitting in the salon regularly blinking eyes, moving another small hole in the road. Perhaps it's just we are so gentle ... And how vulnerable! Changing the format model is certainly enjoyable and relevant. However, increasing the cost of a car can greatly upset us. And it will certainly happen, because in Germany, Audi A4 price increased on average by a couple of thousand euros. Taste pristrastiyaPolnoprivodnye version of the model can be equipped with new system settings, Audi Drive Select, which allows you to adjust the engine, suspension and automatic, based on the driver's preferences. The keys on the center console to activate one of three modes - Comfort, Auto or Dynamic, under which altered response to pressing the electronic throttle, speed gear and chassis rigidity. Vehicles with a multimedia system, MMI also offers another opportunity - to configure these components independently to 24 items on the menu Individual, thus the car's behavior as close to their own predilections. Move from one program to the Audi Drive Select another possible during the ride. Driving is really cool and controlled road holding, even in near-critical situations, while remaining under control. SalonUdobny and spacious, with a quality finish and ergonomics verified. KomfortPodveska pretty hard work out minor dents, but easily overcome larger obstacles. BezopasnostVozmozhnosti the car itself and the abundance of active and passive safety features deserve a higher valuation. Price According to preliminary data, the new product will be significantly more expensive than the ancestor. Advantages and disadvantages of + A fresh design, good dynamic properties and handling, comfortable cabin. - Most likely, the price of the car the next generation will be significantly higher than that of its predecessor. Our mnenieNovaya model from Ingolstadt, finally, can boast an important quality, which was previously attributed to its direct competitors. A4 has a truly charismatic, so do not notice it on the road will not be easy. And if you think about the improvements in dynamics and control, then the question is whether the premium brands to fear competition, we will answer with certainty - is worth it!
