New values

Design is not surprised - similar to the slightly earlier debuted A5 coupe is available. Differences - modified headlights, bumpers, air intake form. It is noticeable that the A4 has a little more aristocratic. However, we must recognize that their principles Audi - departed from the simplicity of line and accuracy of forms. Appearance of new machines bizarre, the play of surfaces is not as predictable as before. And the coefficient of drag - only 0.27! The interior is almost exactly copied A5. The same smooth shape, expanded to the driver at 8 ° center console. And excellent quality materials and meticulous assembly. Even in pre-production sample - no seam, no hitch. Interior space increased slightly. Cabin length has become more of a 20 mm, but the builders carved out 36 extra millimeters for the rear passengers feet. The car is equipped with a next-generation multimedia complex MMI. Offers a great variety of finishes. Possible to install the front seats with six-speed ventilation, which in this class to Audi nobody offered. Another option - an electromechanical parking brake. According to the fashion, the car can be ordered with radioklyuchom, which will unlock the door or close, and being authenticated the system will start the car with the keys. And mid-size sedan to be equipped with custom Bang & Olufsen audio system with 14 speakers, familiar to Audi A8. Trunk volume 480 liters. Passive safety is represented, in particular, six airbags (in the "standard"). However, if it comes to strike, the first to take it to a new body. Made of highly durable and lightweight steel, it is (when grown on 12 cm length and 5 cm wide) lighter predecessor by 10% and tougher. But why should they think about the bad? The probability of collision seriously reduces modern ESP. Moreover, the manufacturer assures us that her work will not be accompanied by a characteristic rattle and vibration. This stabilizing system is not only retarding wheels, but with lightning speed and turning in particularly critical situations, the front wheels through small angles. Active Steering is up and moving in a straight line, holds the course invisible to the driver steer. Furthermore, ESP can extinguish vibrations trailers, including "emergency gang" emergency brake and to dry the brakes in wet weather. As with all new models of Audi, A4 will be equipped with optional active dampers with Magnetic Ride three modes. Enthusiasts will appreciate the dynamic driving system Audi Drive Select, which coordinates the work of shock absorbers, gas pedal and steering. When the Sport mode engaged, the accelerator pedal is sensitive, the wheel is filled with the weight, changing the gear ratio in the mechanism and shock absorbers work by the very "hard" algorithm. It is clear that all these pleasures will be available most likely for a fee. For a potential bestseller Audi produced a range of upgraded gasoline and diesel engines. Everything - with direct fuel injection. Curiously, while the most dynamic in the lineup is the diesel version - with a three-liter car engine speeds up to "hundreds" of just 6.1 seconds. But not far off the emergence of powerful eight-cylinder variants that alter the picture. As for CAT, it improved "automatic", the variator and the "mechanics". Exhaustive set. Drivability, as reported by Audi, much corrected. The front axle is moved forward by 154 mm, the engine moved back a bit and moved the battery in the trunk. These measures helped to improve weight distribution and the change from understeer to the apparent lack of close to neutral. Check with pleasure.
