The brand-new Audi A4, code-named B8, is brand-new, but at first glance it looks like the current Audi A4. However, if you look closely, you will find that its shape has changed a lot. The most obvious thing is that the front suspension is shorter, the engine compartment is longer, and there are 14 LED daytime running lights under the headlights, which reminds us of Audi R8.

From the design style of the new Audi A4, we can see the same and more obvious new Audi family elements as S3, A5 and S5: the huge inverted trapezoidal water tank shield, the spoiler under the front of the car, the X-shaped intersection with air inlets on both sides, the rectangular headlight group, the multilateral diamond taillight group and so on.

New Audi A4, Audi A5 and Audi A3

It is precisely because of the new family design that the new Audi A4 has many similarities with the newly released A5. It adopts the Coupe streamline design of A5, so the drag coefficient of the new A4 is only 0.27.

In fact, some changes in appearance are not the most important. We are more concerned about the changes in the chassis structure of the new Audi A4. According to the published data, the length and width of the new A4 are 4703mm and 1826mm, respectively, which is 65438+ 1772mm higher than the current A4, and it obviously looks like a "circle".

"The new A4 looks bigger"

Moreover, by changing the position of the gearbox, the front axle of the new A4 moved forward by 154mm, which is why its front suspension looks shorter. As a result, the wheelbase of the new Audi A4 has increased to 2808mm, and the interior space has improved a lot.

"short front suspension"

Because the new A4 is made of brand-new steel developed by Audi, its weight is lighter but its structure is more compact, and the rigidity of the car body is increased by 18%. Therefore, the new A4 does not increase its weight due to the increase of the car body size, but reduces its weight: Take the Audi A4 1.8 TFSI as an example, the new A4 weighs 14 10.

"Control has improved"

The new Audi A4 adopts aluminum alloy front five-linkage/rear trapezoidal linkage design, and the center of gravity of the vehicle moves backward through the setting of the front middle engine, which makes the vehicle counterweight closer to the perfect state of average front and rear, which is of great help to improve handling.

Higher technology, more spacious car.

When you get into the car, you will find that the overall design of the new Audi A4 is very similar to that of A5. The combination of two-color interior, leather and metal materials gives people a sense of advanced technology.

"Inside the new Audi A4"

Sitting in the driver's seat, the multifunctional leather steering wheel, driving computer and central button knob are designed very reasonably. A 6.5-inch double-color or 7-inch color central control panel is standard, which can support the display of CD, DVD, satellite navigation, air conditioning and Bluetooth MMI wired multimedia system with Bang &；; Olufsen sound system is more charming.

"It is more convenient for drivers to operate."

The center console cancelled the original handbrake and adopted the "electromechanical parking brake" electronic parking system, which showed the high-tech content.

"central screen"

Let's take a look at the seats of the new Audi A4: the front seats have traditional manual and automatic seats to choose from, and the electric seats also provide memory functions; Seats are divided into standard models and sports models. Sports models provide shock absorption function and seat back heating function. Its temperature control system "climate comfort" is hidden in the leather seat, and there are six kinds of wind speeds that can be adjusted.

The key of the new A4 is the inductive design, and the driver can start the vehicle by pressing the button through electronic induction without taking out his pocket. The memory function of the key can remember the settings of the car stereo, so that the owner can immerse himself in his most comfortable environment without adjustment.

"Longer wheelbase"

Thanks to the extension of the wheelbase, the length of the interior space has increased by 20mm, and the width of the knee space of the rear seat occupant has increased by 36mm compared with the current model, reaching the level of 908 mm With the flat square rear compartment with a capacity of 480 liters and the rear seat that can be completely laid down (with a total volume of 962 liters), the new Audi A4 can beat almost all opponents of the same level.
