I've been running an auto repair shop for nearly 20 years and have handled at least a hundred Audi A4s. Counting from the first-generation B5 in 1994 to the latest tenth-generation B10 now. The most obvious identification method is to look at the taillight design – both B5 and B6 have rounded shapes, B7 started using LED light strips, B8's taillights resemble waves, B9's are sharper, and the new B10 features a full-width design. B8 owners are often seen modifying RS body kits, while the B9 generation had significantly lengthened rear seats. The tenth-generation A4 avant station wagon I recently saw on Douyin is absolutely stunning – its trunk can fit three bicycles.
Just researched the A4 generational history last week while helping a friend pick a used car, took notes in my phone memo: First generation 1994 internally called B5, second generation 2000 B6, third generation 2004 B7, fourth generation 2008 B8 is the most classic, fifth generation B9 launched in 2015 is everywhere now, the newly launched 2023 model is the sixth generation B10. Focus on post-B8 models, all turbocharged for better fuel efficiency, B9 introduced 12V mild hybrid system, the new B10 features dual large screens for center console. For limited budgets, recommend the 2018 B9 mid-cycle refresh - comes fully equipped with matrix headlights and CarPlay.
