New 2016 Audi A4 revealed

The delay with the new A4 was supposed to give the styling a more aggressive look but really all they did was gave it different grill, head and tail lights along with a TT interior.

This and the Q7 look bland. Not a fan.

Maybe I expected too much.

Looks like a bigger A3 sedan. They need RWD cars for me to buy one.

TahoeM3 · 06-28-2015, 07:01 PM

I can't tell the difference between that one and the last 8 versions.

dkhm3 · 06-28-2015, 07:30 PM

Nice, but maybe too conservative?

trey100 · 06-28-2015, 07:35 PM

That was a pretty sad reveal video. There was nothing there to get excited about. Besides an amateur production of video, the 3 highlights were in this order: something about predicting road curves to assist in getting better mileage, a 190 hp engine with better fuel mileage, and an interior that is bigger.

I like the B8 A4 (well the S4 really) but I really hope that the B9 is going to bring more to the table. I was hoping to see something about the chassis, suspension, etc.

Hopefully there's more and better stuff to come.

Interior looks tweaked with better materials and I liked the fully digital display. Exterior is conservative and fits with Audi's habit of slow evolutionary styling. More interested if they will bring an RS to the US.

eMvy · 06-28-2015, 07:49 PM

Very boring design.

Mspired · 06-28-2015, 08:03 PM

Looks just like the previous models

DocWeatherington · 06-28-2015, 08:45 PM

The interior looks great, typical of Audi ( BMW is going to have to step up the game on the upcoming 3 series, 1st the C-Class, XE now the A4).. 19 Speaker B&O stereo =Winning

265lbs lighter 272Hp 6 Cylinder TDI

However the exterior looks like a simple refresh, they could of did more.

I wonder what the S4 and the RS will bring, add some flared fenders/ aggressive front end.. Wouldn't be bad

agreed. this B9 is what the B8.5 should have been. i don't find it sufficient enough of a jump.

the weight reduction (slight) is nice. i just pray that the RS4 and S4 has the aggressive styling and performance to differentiate it from the A4.

ShocknAwe · 06-28-2015, 09:15 PM

Wonder if that grille could get bigger.

Only upgrade is the interior

chillindrdude

Yeah I think the grill will grow or be a focus point on the RS

Apparently yes, if we take cues from the planned '17 A9. Took this shot last year in LA after the LA Auto Show.

Huh? Article says 248bhp for the 2.0 turbo 4. The 272 figure was for the 3.0 V6 TDI, which sounds great, of course it will be expensive and heavier, but it would be neat if this incorporates the electric supercharger we've seen on their other stuff.

.23cd is impressive though.

tareemaa · 06-28-2015, 10:17 PM

Fail, looks like a lci b8.

BKap08 · 06-28-2015, 10:25 PM

that gear shifter is hideous

Race_Doc11 · 06-28-2015, 10:35 PM

I agree...

Didn't see that part

hellrotm · 06-28-2015, 10:49 PM

Interior is amazing. BMW interiors are now lagging even more behind Audi and Benz.

Exterior is classic understated Audi elegance. Like all German makes, new models are only getting minor changes. I mean every BMW looks exactly the same too.

Tacoma · 06-28-2015, 10:52 PM

This looks like a boring family sedan that could've been designed 10 years ago (except for LED lights). The only thing missing is the "Baby on Board" sign.

Re the interior, I don't like the air vent that appears to span across the dash. Quality of materials looks good though.
