Product Overview

Audi A4 B8 (Typ 8K) facelift is a compact executive sedan in production from 2011 to 2015. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.8 to 3.0 liters.

Most engine options were kept from the pre-facelift model, though the 3.2L naturally-aspirated V6 was replaced by a supercharged 3.0-liter V6. Interestingly, Audi chose to refer to the engine as "TFSI", even though the engine had no turbocharger whatsoever. This engine is rather similar to the supercharged V6 found in the Audi S4 from the same generation. It is the most desirable choice.

For those uncertain about VAG's modern petrol engines, the two V6 TDI engines were kept for the facelift.

Other updates include the introduction of 7-speed DCT under the name of S-tronic automatic transmission.

Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.26 coefficient of drag to show for it.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the B8 A4 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.
