Product Overview

Audi A4 B9 (Typ 8W) is a compact executive sedan in production from 2015 to 2018, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.4 to 3.0 liters.

Unfortunately, Audi did not offer the supercharged V6 petrol engine for the B9 A4, instead reserving it for the S4. The remaining TFSI engines still suffer from the well-documented carbon build-up issue.

On the diesel front, however, the 3.0 TDI represent the most interesting choice, with decent reliability and superb torque output.

The 3.0 TDI with the highest output used an 8-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission; the other automatics were double-clutch transmissions marketed under the "S-tronic" name.

Engineers at Audi clearly made a great effort in aerodynamics, with a class-leading 0.23 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the B9 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.
