The new Audi A4

The Audi A4 is the best-selling model of this German brand from Ingolstadt, which for the first time in history jointly presented a sedan and a station wagon. At first glance, the new Audi A4 hasn't changed much, but it's lighter and a bit more rugged and muscular than its predecessor.

The car will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, while the official photos are already here.

Most of the changes happened "behind the scenes".


Fresh A4 is thus made on the basis MLB evo platform, due to which he "lost weight" by 120 kilograms and this despite the fact that it is for ped longer than "fourth child" (by 2.1 centimeters, it measures 473 cm in total), and the wheelbase has also "stretched" a bit compared to the current model and is 1.2 centimeters (282 cm) longer. He is 143 cm tall, and from hip to hip they measured 184 cm. The trunk has also grown.
