THE new generation A4 has brought widespread improvements, including a more aerodynamic and contemporary appearance, a new 96kW, 2.0-litre engine mated with a so-called multitronic automatic transmission, all-aluminium suspension, head-protecting curtain airbags and enhanced interior design and ergonomics. There's more room in the boot (now 445 litres) and more occupant space than the previous model - interior length is up 32mm, rear knee room 43mm, front headroom 15mm, rear headroom 19mm and front shoulder width 11mm. Overall, the new A4 is 69mm longer, 33mm wider and 13mm taller than its predecessor.
