Audi A4 lineup to be facelifted in 2020

KUALA LUMPUR: Audi has announced to give its entire A4 lineup a major facelift in 2020. The 2020 A4 models will arrive with a new styling along with a redesigned interior and new infotainment system.

2020 Audi A4 line gets an enhanced face. The headlights have been redesigned, and to accommodate it the weird lower notch from the existing model has been removed. There is a refreshed single-frame grille, which has grown longer, making the overall appearance more horizontal. Lower fascia’s corner vents get vertically-themed orientation. The taillights are redesigned too. Other notable changes in the rear portion are the exhaust outlets and lower reflectors.

The A4 will be available in three different exterior trims - Basic, Advanced, and S line. Also, there is a new color option called Terra Gray. The cabin now comes with updated MMI tech, which can be controlled using a large 10.1-inch touchscreen.

The most significant change arrives in the form of the electrified engine. The European-spec Audi A4 will get six turbocharged mill options with power outputs ranging between 148 to 342 hp. Three of these powertrains will have 12-volt mild hybrid system.

On the other hand, the new diesel-powered Audi S4 gets a 48-volt mild hybrid setup, which consists of a 3.0-litre turbocharged oil burner. The S4 can speed up from 0 to 100 kmph in just 4.8 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 250 kmph. The diesel-powered S4 is expected to arrive only in the European market.

Audi will start taking orders of the refreshed A4 in this month, while the A4 Allroad and other models will go on prebooking in summer and fall respectively.
