The fifth generation of the Audi A4 was revealed in June 2015 and the official launch was carried at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the same year.
It was lighter and bigger than its predecessor.

After the conversion from the Audi 80 to the A4, the premium compact-sedan model from Audi grew in size from 4520 mm (178”) to 4726 mm (186.1”). It was hardly a compact and more of a mid-size sedan vehicle. Its bigger brother, the A6, was 4797 mm (188.9”) in 1994.

From the outside, the 2016 A4 featured the big singleframe grille and a pair of headlights that resembled those on its bigger brother, the A6. The car was aerodynamically enhanced so the drag coefficient dropped to 0.23, which was the best in its class in 2016.

Inside, the fifth generation of the A4 was a true premium vehicle, featuring the Audi Virtual Cockpit for the instrument panel and a new, 8.3” monitor, infotainment display which was controlled via a touchpad on the center console. The car could have been connected to the Internet via the LTE network.

For the drivetrain, the A4 was available with a choice of diesel and gasoline-powered units, with four and six cylinders. Depending on the version, they were mated to a 6-speed manual, a 7-speed S-Tronic or an 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox. It was offered with a front or all-wheel-drive system.
