We’ve got our hands on a totally undisguised spy pic of the Audi A4 saloon being tested in Mumbai sent by our alert reader Suraj Raut.
The facelifted A4 is a key rival to the recently revealed, BMW 3-series sixth-generation and the recently-updated Mercedes-Benz C-class. The reworked A4 gains a host of detailed styling and changes to the interior – of it are aimed at setting it apart from the current model. Among the visual tweaks is a subtly altered front-end exterior styling that features more curvaceous headlamps assemblies with reworked LED running lamps now appear as a continuous band. Xenon main beam projector-style headlamps on higher variants will also be there.
Other changes include greater contouring to the bonnet, a new six-corner single-frame grille – which is painted grey on four-cylinder models and black on six-cylinders – as much it is a re-rofiled bumper carrying trapezoidal shaped fog lamps. At the rear, new tail lamps are there with altered LED graphics and a new bumper.
Inside, Audi has tried to give the face-lifted A4 with higher perceived quality and greater ease of use. This is achieved through a new steering wheel design, higher quality dashboard and centre console trim applications, the design in detail changes to the switchgear (something Autocar India had often been critical of) and alterations to the optional MMI (multi-media interface). Options for engine will be carried over from the current car and you can expect the updated A4 to be on sale by middle of this year.
