Audi A4

Being an automatic fanatic, it’s pretty hard for us to deny commanding horsepower and torque in abundance, but at the same time we also can’t deny a car that offers that indefinable combination and decent power and fuel efficiency. The 2012 Audi A4 that we are covering here is among some of the very few entry-level sedans which offer that blend.

Just like most of the entry-level luxury sedans, the 2012 Audi A4 is also being offered with only a single engine choice, which here is a 2.0 ltr turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Now, while this seems like a strange choice considering the fact that every other rival is powered by a 6-cylinder engine, it also is a reality that the Audi A4 gets a lot from this engine choice than loosing. In actual fact, the Audi A4 with this engine succeeds in meeting and eventually even beating its base model rivals as far as fuel economy and acceleration is concerned. The nimble handling of the car also results in the balanced nature of the Audi A4, with a positive blend of comfort and sport.

The real strength of Audi A4 lies in its high-end cabin. It should be known that the cabin of Audi A4 has been equipped with class-topping materials and a controlled design aesthetic, which results in a luxuriously modern interior. Naturally a wide range of fashionable features are available either as standard or optional, including the likes of a navigation, Audi’s MMI electronics interface (though MMI with no navigation could be visceral to use) and a premium sound system. The cargo space in the car is average space that we’ve seen for its segment, but if you want more utility you can go for the handsome A4 Avant wagon.

Overall, we will say that it’s pretty apparent why we call the 2012 Audi A4 a top choice among all the entry-level luxury sedans. But at the same time we won’t deny the fact that the car has a tough competition to beat, especially even its rival has its own specialty. Some of the strong rivals for the 2012 Audi A4 offering a wide range of features and high level of driver rendezvous includes the BMW 3 Series, which pretty much defines the segment; the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which highlights flawless build quality and luxury and finally the Infiniti G sedan, offering a lot more power for a lot less money. But in case you’re looking for an artful merge of all the aforementioned assets, we’d suggest you got for the Audi A4.
