2022 Audi A4

Pros: Audi A4 boasts impressive interior design with top-notch cabin materials; peppy acceleration; excellent mix of ride quality and handling sharpness

Cons: Acceleration can be non-linear from a stop; small door openings

CG Says: The 2022 Audi A4 has few changes. The base models now offer Black Optic interior appearance packages and models with the more powerful TFSI 45 engine gain standard sport suspension. The S4 has minor interior trim changes.
The A4 is a premium compact sedan that was redesigned for 2017 and is powered by a turbo 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The base engine has 201 horsepower and is labelled 40 TFSI. The step-up TFSI 45 engine puts out 261 hp. Both engines now have a mild hybrid system. All A4s have all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automated-manual is the sole transmission. The performance S4 is powered by a 349-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Notable standard features include a forward collision mitigation system with automatic braking, leather upholstery, sunroof, heated mirrors, LED ambient interior lighting, rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
Options include Audi’s “Virtual Cockpit” digital gauge cluster, Google Earth satellite navigation display, adaptive cruise control, adaptive suspension, a rear collision mitigation system, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning and intervention, rear cross-traffic alert, and traffic-sign recognition.
A dazzling-yet-understated interior and a long list of cutting-edge technology features are chief among the A4’s highlights. Plus, the A4’s sticker prices and standard-equipment lists compare very favorably with its traditional BMW and Mercedes-Benz competitors. If you’re looking for a well-rounded premium compact sedan, the A4 should be on your list.
