B Could be Better
The 1.4 litre A4 did well as an entry-level baby exec sedan, sitting in the same playpen as the entry Mercedes-Benz C180 and BMW’s 318i, it became a popular option for those who wanted a foot in the door of the executive car club.
Our test car was equipped with the cost-optional 12.3” virtual cockpit, which adds a little bit of dynamism (and bragging rights) to the instrument cluster, and is also able to reflect the same map information displayed on the dash-mounted 8.3” infotainment screen. Dashboard fit and finish is in typical Audi fashion, meaning it really is hard to beat, with well-thought use of materials.
Passenger accommodation is a strong point with the A4, with very good leg and head room in the front. Taller rear passengers at the rear will also find that the car has been well packaged; and with a slight rear legroom increament by a slight 23mm over its predecessor, partially thanks to a very slight 12mm increase in its wheelbase.
Cargo room in the boot is very good at 480 litres, enough for golf bags and some, and can be extended with the folding down of the 40:20:40 style rear seats, which will increase it up to 965 litres.
The base A4 presents a worthy option for those who want a well-packaged car space-wise. The new 2.0 definitely adds to the car’s appeal, while little “showboating” features like its Dynamic Turn Signals, would certainly make the car stand out from the competition.
Additionally, for those who are not ready just yet to buy this car, they can be heartened to know that its VES ‘B’ rating will stick, even after July’s revision.
