2 Answers
The differences between the Audi A4L 35 and 40 are as follows in three aspects: 1. Different body lengths: The 35 has a body length of 4858mm; the 40 has a body length of 4851mm. Other dimensions of the Audi A4L 35 and 40 are the same: width 1847mm, height 1439mm, and a wheelbase of 2908mm. 2. Different system configurations: The 35 is equipped with a traction control system and air suspension; the 40 comes with a car refrigerator, panoramic sunroof, and variable suspension. 3. Different power outputs: The 35 has a maximum horsepower of 150ps, while the 40 has a maximum horsepower of 190ps. The 35's maximum power is 110kw with a maximum torque of 270nm, whereas the 40's maximum power is 140kw with a maximum torque of 320nm.
As a driver who frequently commutes in an Audi A4L, I've driven both the 35 and 40 versions and found the main differences lie in performance. The 35 TFSI is the low-power version with slightly less horsepower, around 150 hp. It's a bit sluggish when starting in the city, requiring patience when overtaking after a red light turns green. However, it's more fuel-efficient, with my daily commute consumption at around 6 liters per 100 km, saving a significant amount on fuel over the years. The 40 TFSI is entirely different, boasting nearly 190 hp, swift acceleration, and a 0-100 km/h time that's a second or two faster, making overtaking and lane changes much smoother. But fuel consumption rises slightly, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km. Another point is the price—the base 35 version is about 20,000 to 30,000 RMB cheaper, with identical interior and space, making it sufficient for regular commuting. Lastly, considering reliability, the 35 tends to have fewer issues over time, while the 40, with its stronger performance, occasionally requires more expensive maintenance. Ultimately, it depends on personal driving habits—if you frequently drive on highways, the 40 offers a more exhilarating experience.
