The differences between Audi A4 and Audi A4L: different body dimensions, different cylinder block materials, and different transmission types. Below are the specific details. 1. Different body dimensions: Audi A4: 4763mm, 1826mm, 1426mm. Audi A4L: 4761mm, 1826mm, 1439mm. 2. Different cylinder block materials: Audi A4: iron. Audi A4L: cast iron. 3. Different transmission types: Audi A4: 8-speed CVT automatic manual. Audi A4L: CVT continuously variable transmission. 4. Models: The Audi A4 is the overseas version, while the new Audi A4L is the domestic version with an extended body, reaching a length of 4818mm and a width of 1843mm, providing multi-dimensional comfort for every passenger while also balancing driving pleasure and ride comfort.
When I first changed cars, I also researched the Audi A4L. The Plus version mainly adds some practical features. The basic configuration of the standard A4L is actually sufficient, but the Plus version upgrades to 18-inch wheels and LED matrix headlights with dynamic turn signals. Once you sit inside, you can notice the differences—it has front sport seats with leg rests, and the heating function is especially useful in winter. The central control screen is upgraded to a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and the navigation system also features updated 3D display effects. Most importantly, it comes standard with Audi's pre-sense safety system, and the automatic braking function is very beginner-friendly. Buying these features separately would cost 20,000 to 30,000 RMB more, so if you want everything at once, choosing the Plus version directly is more cost-effective.
As an A4L owner for five years, I find the most noticeable upgrade in the Plus version is its intelligence. My old model required manual AC adjustments, while my friend's Plus with automatic tri-zone climate control adjusts airflow based on sunlight. The 360-degree parking camera with obstacle alerts makes reversing much easier for beginners. The steering wheel heating and wireless phone charging are perfect for northern winters - just drop your phone into the storage tray. The audio upgrade to Bang & Olufsen delivers noticeably better sound quality, especially with much richer bass. Though slightly more expensive, it significantly enhances daily driving comfort.
