Is the Audi A4 a 4WD vehicle?
2 Answers
The Audi A4 is not a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Audi 4WD models: Audi's full-time four-wheel-drive models include the Audi A5, Audi TT, Audi A3, Audi S series, Audi R8, Audi Q7, Audi S5, etc. Introduction to the Audi A4: The Audi A4 (Audi A4) is a B-segment model manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen and launched in April 2003. As the first model to introduce the concept of a long wheelbase and turbocharging, the A4L has maintained strong sales from the B5 to the B8 generations. The new A4 has abandoned the teardrop headlight design, added the quattro four-wheel-drive mode, and features a more stylish and sporty exterior with outstanding power and handling. The interior craftsmanship is exquisite, with rich technological configurations and ample space, making it highly practical among B-segment models.
I've driven an Audi A4 in the north for 5 years and encountered this issue. The Audi A4 does indeed have four-wheel-drive versions, but not all models are 4WD. Look for the small quattro badge on the rear - that indicates the 4WD version. The newer models mostly use the quattro ultra intelligent all-wheel-drive system, which primarily relies on front-wheel drive for fuel efficiency and engages the rear wheels when needed. If your budget allows, I'd recommend going straight for the 4WD version - it's especially stable in rain or snow. However, the basic entry-level models are mostly front-wheel drive, so you need to check the specifications carefully when purchasing. The front-wheel-drive version is perfectly adequate for city driving, but it's not as nimble as the 4WD when climbing hills or taking sharp turns. By the way, remember to switch to winter tires for safer driving in cold weather.
