Audi A4L's all 2.0-liter versions use the third-generation EA888 engine. The low-power version has a maximum horsepower of 150, the medium-power version has a maximum horsepower of 190, and the high-power version has a maximum horsepower of 252. More details are as follows: 1. This engine adopts an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block, using a hybrid injection fuel supply method. It utilizes AVS engine technology, resulting in excellent fuel economy and power performance. 2. This engine is divided into three power versions: the low-power version with a maximum horsepower of 150, the medium-power version with a maximum horsepower of 190, and the high-power version with a maximum horsepower of 252, allowing owners to choose according to their needs.

I previously owned several Audi A4L models, specifically the B9 series from 2016 to 2019, which were equipped with the third-generation EA888 engine. I believe those model years are particularly noteworthy, such as the 2017 and 2018 specific trims that came with this engine. The third-gen EA888 showed significant improvements in power response, delivering smoother acceleration without the oil consumption issues common in the second-gen. Fuel efficiency was also better, typically under 8L/100km in city driving. I’d recommend these model years for used car buyers—engine longevity is better, and parts are easier to source for repairs. Overall, the third-gen was far more reliable after Volkswagen Group’s refinements, and if you’re new to car modding, this generation offers plenty of tuning potential.

As a friend who frequently works on cars, I think the Audi A4L models produced between 2016 and 2019 all used the third-generation EA888 engine, especially the 2018 model being quite common. After improvements, this engine has much less carbon buildup and runs noticeably quieter. It’s fuel-efficient and stable for daily driving, unlike the older versions which often had issues. I currently drive a 2017 A4L, and after two years, it’s only needed routine maintenance with no major repairs. When picking a car, I recommend checking the VIN to confirm the production year. The third-generation models during this period mainly featured 1.8T and 2.0T configurations, which are quite suitable for family needs. While the performance may not match the latest version, it offers better value for money.

From a technical perspective, the 2016-2019 Audi A4L models equipped with the third-generation EA888 engine are primarily based on the B9 platform. This engine features optimized fuel injection systems, reducing malfunctions. It offers better durability and smoother power delivery compared to its predecessor. If you're considering a used vehicle, models from these years have more reliable engines with fewer issues over several years of driving. The overall performance is decent, making it suitable for general driving purposes.
