What is the difference between Audi A4 35 and 40?
2 Answers
Audi A4 35 and 40 represent differences in gravitational acceleration ratio. Numbers are used to replace displacement, with larger values indicating better acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h. The main difference between A4 30TFSI and 40TFSI models lies in their completely different engines and transmissions. More details are as follows: 1. Increased power: For the current A4 models, the new versions no longer have 35TFSI, starting from 40TFSI as the minimum. Even with the same 2.0 displacement, the new 40TFSI has greater engine power and torque compared to the old 35TFSI, meaning improved overall power. 2. 35TFSI meaning: This indicates the vehicle's acceleration is approximately 0.35 times the free-fall acceleration (gravitational acceleration g). Free-fall acceleration to 100km/h takes about 2.83 seconds, so this vehicle requires roughly 8.1 seconds to reach 100km/h (35TFSI, 40TFSI, 45TFSI, 50TFSI etc. use 5 as quantization unit, with certain quantization errors).
When comparing the Audi A4 35 and 40, the main difference lies in their engine performance. The 35 model delivers around 150 horsepower, offering a smooth and steady drive that's perfect for daily commuting and stop-and-go city traffic. However, it feels a bit sluggish when overtaking on highways, with slightly slower acceleration. The 40 model, on the other hand, boosts its horsepower to 204, providing more driving excitement, quicker response at startup, and better stability on mountain roads or curves—making it more fun to drive. Both models share nearly identical exterior and interior designs, with similar fuel consumption. The 35 is slightly more fuel-efficient, averaging about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, while the 40 consumes around 7.5 liters, but the performance gap makes up for this. If you're a driving enthusiast like me who craves speed, the 40 is clearly more thrilling, even though it's a bit pricier. Insurance and maintenance costs are comparable, but the 40 might hold its value better in the long run, making it worth the investment.
