Product Overview

Audi A4 B7 (Typ 8E) is a compact executive sedan in production from 2004 to 2008. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.6 to 3.1 liters.

In many respects, the B7 A4 is akin to a facelift of the B6 A4, with a markedly more aggressive front fascia. The list of engine options were rather similar to that of the B6, too.

Unfortunately, the "Multitronic" CVT transmission was again widely used for the FWD models. The introduction of 6-speed ZF 6HP for the AWD models, however, was a welcomed changed.

Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The B7 A4 also comes with a high towing capacity.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the B7 comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
