2019 Audi A4 Road Test




{In the|Within the} {sports|sports activities} sedan tug-of-{war|battle|conflict|struggle|warfare} {among|amongst} Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the A4 now prevails over its {peers|friends}. Sports sedans {often|typically|usually} fall {short of|in need of|wanting} expectations, being neither sporty nor luxurious, or {prove|show} unreliable. The A4 {gets|will get} all of {these things|these items|this stuff} {right|proper}, which is why it jumps to {the top|the highest} of this class in our rankings. The {familiar|acquainted} 2.0-liter turbocharged {four|4}-cylinder engine {remains|stays} {under|below|beneath|underneath} the A4抯 hood, and continues to impress, with {prompt|immediate} throttle response, ample low-{end|finish} {power|energy}, and a free-revving nature. It feels smoother than most turbo fours {and gives|and offers|and provides} {a nice|a pleasant} growl {under|below|beneath|underneath} {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} acceleration. {If you|For those who|If you happen to|In case you|In the event you|Should you|When you} {must have|should have|will need to have} the V6, you {may want|might want} {to consider|to contemplate|to think about} the 349 hp S4. {One of|Certainly one of|Considered one of|One among|One in all|One in every of} {the big|the large|the massive} {changes|adjustments|modifications} entailed swapping the {previous|earlier} {super|tremendous}-slick eight-{speed|pace|velocity} {automatic|automated|computerized} transmission for a seven-{speed|pace|velocity} {dual|twin}-clutch {automatic|automated|computerized}. Such set-ups are {typically|sometimes|usually} plagued with low-{speed|pace|velocity} vibration, {but|however} Audi {worked|labored} it out. {The new|The brand new} transmission works so {well|effectively|nicely|properly}, most drivers will assume it抯 {a traditional|a conventional|a standard} {automatic|automated|computerized}. Gear swaps {happen|occur} {quickly|rapidly|shortly}, {smoothly|easily}, and appropriately, making this transmission {a perfect|an ideal} companion to the engine. This powertrain combo makes the {car|automobile|automotive} {feel|really feel} {quick|fast} and {eager|keen}.





We measured a commendable 27 mpg. The A4抯 {structure|construction} is rock-{solid|stable|strong}, even with the {increased|elevated} use of weight-saving aluminium. {This is a|It is a|This can be a} satisfying {car|automobile|automotive} to drive, with tossable, {secure|safe} {handling|dealing with} {both|each} on {road|highway|street} and {track|monitor|observe}. There抯 even good {feedback|suggestions} {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} the wheel. {As good|Nearly as good|Pretty much as good} {as the|because the} {handling|dealing with} is, {the real|the actual|the true} {improvement|enchancment} comes {in the|within the} {form of|type of} {ride|experience|journey|trip} {comfort|consolation}. Taking bumps in stride, the A4 proves supple and {controlled|managed}. {It is|It's} {much more|far more|rather more|way more} compliant than is the norm for Audi. Impressively hushed wind and {road|highway|street} noise {help|assist} keep the {car|automobile|automotive} remarkably quiet. {The end|The tip|The top} {result is|result's} a {car|automobile|automotive} that masks {long|lengthy} distance miles and {keeps|retains} fatigue at bay. Slide into the A4抯 cabin and you抮e greeted by {a high quality|a top quality}, if {somewhat|considerably} clinical {looking|trying|wanting}, {interior|inside}. Most of {the details|the main points|the small print} have been {thoroughly|completely|totally} sweated. Even the controls have a {precise|exact} {feel|really feel} and a {clean|clear}, {modern|fashionable|trendy} look. Technology abounds, {especially|particularly} on {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {equipped|geared up|outfitted} with the aptly named Technology {package|bundle|package deal}.





From a touchpad with {the ability|the flexibility|the power} {to recognize|to acknowledge} handwriting to the vivid Virtual Cockpit instrument panel, Audi has created a {high|excessive}-tech wonderland. Its {high|excessive}-{resolution|decision} {display|show} {lets you|allows you to|enables you to|helps you to|permits you to} {minimize|decrease|reduce} the tachometer and speedometer to {expand|broaden|develop|increase} {trip|journey} {info|data|information}, {phone|cellphone|telephone} contacts, audio {choices|decisions|selections}, and even Google Earth Maps, all displayed {right|proper} in {front|entrance} of you. This multi-{functional|practical|purposeful|useful} {display|show} is {controlled|managed} by buttons on the steering wheel. {It can|It could|It could actually|It could possibly|It may|It may possibly|It may well|It might|It might probably|It will possibly|It will probably} {seem|appear} overwhelming at first, {but the|however the} system proves to be intuitive with {practice|apply|follow|observe}. {We can't|We will not|We won't} say {the same|the identical} for the {electronic|digital} gear selector, which requires a deft {touch|contact} {to pick|to choose|to select} {the desired|the specified} gear. It {also|additionally} lacks some desired safeguards {to prevent|to forestall|to stop} rollaway {should you|do you have to|must you} fail {to select|to pick|to pick out} Park.. The {front|entrance} seats are {firm|agency} {yet|but} comfy and most drivers can get {well|effectively|nicely|properly}-situated behind the wheel. Rear seat room {is still|continues to be|remains to be} tight, {but|however} that抯 what you get {in this|on this} class. All A4s come {standard|commonplace|customary|normal} with a {city|metropolis}-{speed|pace|velocity} {automatic|automated|computerized} emergency braking system ({up to|as much as} {52|fifty two} mph), {forward|ahead}-collision warning, and a rearview {camera|digicam|digital camera}. Note that blind-spot monitoring with cross-{traffic|site visitors|visitors} alert is {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available}. The A4 is a {thoroughly|completely|totally} satisfying {sports|sports activities} sedan with {accomplished|achieved|completed} driving dynamics, {latest|newest} {technology|expertise|know-how}, and class. The A4 Allroad is a raised wagon {version|model}.
