Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles, and other minor exterior/interior changes. A six-speed manual gearbox was available, as well as the new high-performance Audi S4, now part of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an Audi 100). A 2.5 litre V6 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine with 150 PS (110 kW 148 bhp) was standard on the quattro.
The 2.8 litre 30-valve V6 engine replaced the 2.8 litre 12-valve. Facelift (1997–2001)Ī refreshed B5 A4 range appeared at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The second (B6) and third generations (B7) of the A4 also had a convertible version, but the B8 version of the convertible became a variant of the Audi A5 instead as Audi got back into the compact executive coupé segment. The A4 is available as a saloon/sedan and estate/wagon. The cars are front-wheel drive, or on some models, "quattro" all-wheel drive. The Audi A4 automobile layout consists of a longitudinally oriented engine at the front, with transaxle-typetransmissions mounted at the rear of the engine. The B8 A4 is built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform shared with many other Audi models and potentially one Porsche model within Volkswagen Group. The automaker's internal numbering treats the A4 as a continuation of the Audi 80 lineage, with the initial A4 designated as the B5-series, followed by the B6, B7, and the current B8. The first generation A4 succeeded the Audi 80. The A4 has been built in four generations and is based on Volkswagen's B platform. The Audi A4 is a line of compact executive cars produced since late 1994 by the German car manufacturer Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group.
