An Insight in to The 2012 Audi A4

The 2012 Audi A4 is subtle, but the bonnet and front bumper have been replaced, along with the grilles and lights they envelope. There’s a stronger curvature in the bonnet that flows down to that latest iteration of Audi’s shield grille, with chamfered upper corners. These changes are easily noticeable.     The grille treatment differentiates each level of A4 hierarchy for that all important company car park, one-upmanship: four-cylinder models have grey horizontal slats, whereas V6-engined and all S-line versions feature theirs in gloss black. Not only is the shape of the headlight more angular, the graphics within them have been modernised too. Out go the old LEDs, replaced by homogenous strips of whiteness. Similarly, tweaks to the rear are superficial, limited to prettying up the lights and bumper mouldings. Smaller, more efficient Audi engines are expected to be the most popular. Audi quotes 50.4mpg and 134g/km CO2 for its comprehensively reworked 1.8 TFSI unit which produces 168bhp in the process. The four-cylinder diesels are also kinder to the environment than the outgoing motors with the base 134bhp 2.0 TDI providing 67.3mpg and just 112g/km CO2.
