A bestseller for more than 40 years

The A4 family and its predecessor the Audi 80 have been technological innovators and true winners for many decades. The brand with the Four Rings already set new standards for lightweight construction, performance and agility with the first Audi 80 in the year 1972. 

Four generations of the Audi 80 were produced until 1994/95, when it was succeeded by the Audi A4*. The five-millionth A4 rolled off the assembly line in March 2011 and another production jubilee was celebrated in the fall of the same year: the ten-millionth car in the B segment since 1972. Audi has produced the A4 model family at the company’s main site in Ingolstadt since 1994 and at the plant in Neckarsulm since 2007.

The brand’s longstanding bestsellers have always played a major role at Audi, and not only in terms of unit sales. During the 43 years to date, they have showcased great innovations. Audi’s “Vorsprung durch Technik” has been demonstrated time and again, for example with quattro drive with self-locking center differential, the fully galvanized bodywork, S tronic and the sport differential.

The A4 and its predecessor models have also enjoyed great success in motorsport. The series has produced legendary rally cars – the Audi Rallye quattro and the Audi Sport quattro – as well as superior track racing cars such as the Audi 90 IMSA-GTO, the A4 quattro Supertouring and the A4 DTM. 

*The fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures of all models named above and available on the German market can be found in the list on the last page of this basic information.

© 2018 by AUDI AG. All rights reserved.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
