2020 Audi A4
The 2020 Audi A4 returns for the new model year with a new look. For 2020 it gets a facelift; its sharper style is an improvement, with pinched headlights flanking a neat grille. The spacious cabin, with standard leather, gets a new infotainment system and a 10.1-inch touchscreen that eliminates the console control knob that used to control everything from audio to phone to navigation. The A4 handles with verve and accelerates with gusto. It uses two versions of Audi's tried and true 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine that delivers good performance wherever it's found, including Volkswagen and Porsche. Front-wheel-drive A4s use a 188-hp version, while cars with Audi's optional Quattro all-wheel-drive get 60 more horsepower, making 248 hp. Its 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox shifts crisply at speed but doesn't like casual; it can stumble around town.
The 2020 Audi S4 makes use of a more powerful 349-hp V-6 with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic.
The latest A4 earned very high safety scores thanks to its high crashworthiness and standard safety equipment. It got five stars overall from the NHTSA, with four stars for frontal collision.The IIHS gave it the top 'Good'? score on all six crash tests, earning it a Top Safety Pick award. Last year's headlights were only rated 'Acceptable'? and 'Marginal,'? but new designs in 2020 will likely change that.
Every A4 comes standard with automatic emergency braking, while optional safety equipment includes active lane control, adaptive cruise control, rear side airbags, and a surround-view camera system.
The base front-wheel-drive A4 is EPA-rated at 27 mpg city, 35 highway, 30 combined. The all-wheel-drive version drops to 24/32/27 mpg, while the A4 Allroad wagon comes in at 23/31/26 mpg. Naturally, the 2020 S4 brings up the rear at 20/27/23 mpg. .
