What's New in the 2021 Audi A4?
The new Audi A4 was refreshed in 2020, but it still gets plenty of updates this year. Most of the changes will be under the hood. The 4-cylinder engine will now have 13 hp more compared to last year's output. The same engine gains a mild hybrid system which improves its overall efficiency. Say goodbye to the struggles of riding on slippery terrain as the new Audi A4 will have a new standard AWD configuration. Inside, the infotainments system has been updated, and now wireless Apple CarPlay will be available on every trim. The various luxury and convenience packages have been reshuffled, and new options are also included. And for safety, the lane-departure alert system is now standard on the new Audi A4.
Performance and Efficiency
The new Audi A4 will have three engine options for drivers in Richmond. The standard engine will be available on all the trims, except the S4. The standard engine will be a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder generating 201 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. It will be offered with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission system and will have the AWD drivetrain as standard. The standard engine gains an extra 13 hp, and the mild-hybrid system improves its efficiency to 25/34 mpg. The optional engine in the A4 will also be a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder, but with better output.
The A4 45 TSFI Quattro, as Audi would like to call it, will be good for 261 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. It will share the same transmission and drivetrain as the base engine, but it is much quicker. With the A4 45 TSFI Quattro, the new A4 can get to highway speeds in just 5 seconds. Finally, for those looking for a performance engine, the Audi A4 has a 3.0L turbocharged V6 powering the S4 trim. This powertrain uses an 8-speed automatic gearbox instead of the standard option, and it will be delivering 349 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. It is sportier than the other powertrains, and most of the features are enhanced. The S4 gets to highway speeds in just four seconds.
Interior Seating and Storage
The new Audi A4 is a classy car with premium features. The interior gets a sleek design with many first-rate materials. Every trim will have leather upholstery with aluminum trim, ambient interior lighting, and a power-adjusted and heated front row. The Audi A4's cabin fits five passengers, and the seats are comfortable and supportive. There is plenty of room on both rows, and the 6-foot tall passengers should sit comfortably on long trips. The Audi also provides a 12 cubic feet trunk space for all your cargo needs. The sedan also has a 40/20/20 split, meaning you can fold the back seat to store longer items.
