Underneath its hood, the 2017 Audi A4 features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. That turbocharged engine works with a dual-clutch automatic transmission. While this sedan comes standard as a front-wheel drive machine, it is also available with Audi’s famous Quattro all-wheel drive system. If speed is what you’re looking for, Audi estimates the new A4 sedan can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and can reach an electronically-limited top speed of 130 mph.

2017 Audi A4 Efficiency

Audi has yet to release details about the 2017 A4’s fuel economy, but the FWD version is nearly 100 pounds lighter than last year’s sedan, which was good for 25 mpg combined. Highway commutes should also become more efficient due to the vehicle’s semi-autonomous driving systems. The Adaptive Cruise Control system can automatically slow down the vehicle when it detects a slower moving car ahead, and then it can accelerate back to a preset speed once you pass that car. Also, the Turn Assist feature can engage the brakes if sensors detect that another car is beside the A4 while attempting to switch lanes.

20167 Audi A4 Interior

The inside of the 2017 Audi A4 comes standard with leather seating surfaces, aluminum trim, and a sunroof that adds premium comfort and refinement to the sedan’s strong tech features and performance. The driver–and up to five passengers–can also enjoy a standard three-zone automatic climate control system on warm days. As for the sedan’s available cargo space, with 13 cubic feet behind the rear seats, this certainly isn’t a great vehicle for transporting large furniture, but it’s certainly enough for a small grocery run, gym supplies, or a work briefcase.
