Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.

Audi A4 35TDI and 30TFSI Road Test Review

By Ameya Dandekar27 Apr 2017

When Audi launched the brand-new A4 in the petrol variant last year we were really impressed by its all-round ability. Thanks to a more able chassis, the new generation A4 was much nicer to drive than its predecessor and the modern cabin with its ultra-crisp virtual cockpit system just blew us away. With the recent arrival of the diesel variant, the A4 now has a complete portfolio. Time for a full-fledged road test then, since there is no better way to judge its true potential than putting both the petrol and diesel versions through our rigorous testing regime. So we let the numbers decide just how good the new A4 really is.

Audi A4 Diesel First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair10 Mar 2017

Audi launched the A4 last year with much fan-fare. At that time, it only came in a petrol variant, but now they have also introduced a diesel variant and these are our first impressions of the new variant. Although we are quite familiar with the petrol A4, we shall still take you through the basics of what it’s all about.
