New 2010 Audi A4

Venerable German engineering brings balanced sport and comfort driving dynamics with great power and superb craftsmanship in the 2010 Audi A4.

Powering the A4 is Audi’s highly regarded 211-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine suffers from little or no turbo-lag for instant acceleration and maximum smiles per gallon. For the more oomph, the Audi S4 comes with a 333-horsepower supercharged V-6. Turbocharged power is sent through a six speed manual, a six speed automatic or a continuously variable transmission to a two- or Quattro all-wheel drive system. The A4 achieves 21-23 mpg in the city and 27-30 mpg on the highway. Power is just shy of the BMW 328 and Mercedes-Benz C300, while fuel economy is far superior.

The 2010 Audi A4 is built in sedan and wagon configurations, and is available in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trims. For hauling the goodies from the grocery store or the hobby shop, the A4 comes equipped with a 12 cubic-foot trunk. Passenger accommodations are also superb, with front and rear headroom metrics being superior to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Driving enthusiasts will delight at the Audi Drive Select Package, which allows the driver to select performance or comfort settings for the shocks, throttle, automatic transmission shifts and steering. A superbly engineered Bang & Olufsen audio system creates a euphoric listening experience when equipped, while the available navigation system features a seven-inch LCD screen and 3D map graphics.

Safety features in the Driver Assist Package include a rearview camera and a blind spot warning system. For highway cruising safety, an available adaptive cruise control system uses radar sensors to help maintain a safe following distance behind the car in front, and applies the brakes if the driver gets too close. Antilock brakes, a stability control system and a full set of airbags help keep occupants safe. The sturdy aluminum space frame in the 2010 Audi A4 delivers Five-Star impact ratings in government testing, and achieves a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Good power, great fuel economy and an impressive host of sport and luxury features ensure the 2010 Audi A4 is equipped to successfully woo you and your family..
