Is the A4 four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
The A4 has both four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive versions. Only models equipped with the high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine are four-wheel drive, while other models are front-wheel drive. The domestically produced A4 uses four types of engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a medium-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The A4 is a product of Audi, manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen as a B-segment model. The design of the A4's door handles emphasizes ergonomic effects and comprehensive functionality, with sensitive pressure points for easy door opening. The handles also provide a better grip, allowing for forceful door opening in the event of an accident.
I often study the drivetrain systems of various car models and have found that the Audi A4 typically comes with front-wheel drive as standard, but it also offers a Quattro all-wheel-drive version, which is either optional or available on specific trims. The Quattro system automatically distributes power to all four wheels, enhancing stability and grip on slippery roads or during high-speed cornering. If you purchase a base or lower-spec model, it might be front-wheel drive, but higher-end versions like the S line or premium trims usually come with Quattro. When inspecting the car, checking for the Quattro badge in the trunk or reviewing the configuration sheet is the most accurate way to confirm. The Audi official website also provides detailed specifications. Although the all-wheel-drive version has slightly higher fuel consumption, it offers significantly better driving confidence and handling, especially in rainy or snowy conditions, making it worth considering.
