Driving dynamics
The handling of all-new Audi A4 is sporty and performance oriented on one hand, while focusing on comfort at the same time.

The exceptionally light electromechanical power steering and the redeveloped five-link axles are the principal forces behind this boost in performance. They lay the foundation for dynamic handling and first-class ride comfort, while also reducing fuel consumption.

With so much to offer, it’s enough to say that the newly launched Audi A4 is an all-encompassing machine that brings the best of all worlds for the auto enthusiast in you.
