Check out the 2020 Audi A4 with new design and features

KUALA LUMPUR: The all-new 2020 Audi A4 comes with several updates, aside from a design makeover and additional standard features, it has become more potent for this year.

Powering the new Audi A4 are hybridized four-cyl engines with 13 hp more power. The A4 40 base trim now gets 201 horses from its 2.0-litre turbo 4-cylinder engine; also, the all-wheel drivetrain is now standard. The range-topping A4 45, on the other hand, gets an impressive 262 hp from the same engine it shares with its sibling.

The latest power update is just one recent change done by Audi on the A4. Last January, the German automaker gave the A4 exterior a new design language. And indeed the car looks adventurous without going overboard. This is especially true for the A4 Allroad that displays a more structured grey matte exterior with flatter Singleframe grille that gives the car a more rounded appeal. The vertical chrome slats emphasize the vehicle’s enhanced ground clearance and ride height, giving it a sporty yet dignified appearance.

The new infotainment system gets an acoustic feedback feature that makes it user-friendly even when the car is in motion. There is also handwriting recognition with a whole-word input system that allows users to enter information like navigation destinations and telephone contacts. However, make sure what you write is decent enough to be understood by the system; otherwise, there will be a problem.

The intelligent travel assistant is another feature to look forward to, as it provides comprehensive feedback through the available information on the cloud or on-board stored data. It uses a normal voice, and you can interact with a question or command.

The all-new A40 now gets Audi pre-sense basic as standard that can prepare the vehicle for impact. On the other hand, the Audi pre-sense city uses a camera to monitor the area in front of the car and provide acoustic and visual warnings to help alert the driver of a potentially hazardous situation.

In case you want an extra layer of protection, Audi offers the additional features that form a strong shield when combined. They are:

• Audi side assist
• Rear Cross Traffic Assist
• Audi Pre Sense Rear
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist
• Top View Camera System
• Park Assist
