Although some of them date back to the previous generation, there were also several new units available. Most notable are the new V6 and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with five valves per cylinder. This was the first mass-produced car in the world with this technology. Instead of gaining more power, the main goal with it was to maximize fuel efficiency and improve drivability. Among diesel engines, there are several variants of the well proven TDI unit and the new V6 diesel unit.
Other major update was the Tiptronic transmission, which, besides automatic operation, allows manual gear selection. The suspension used a double wishbone setup at the front and multi-link at the rear, which offered a great balance between ride comfort and sporty handling.
This meant it was neutral on the roads, but also sharp and precise when going around the corners. Buyers recognized the upsides new A4 offers, making it an instant hit.
For those who wanted more sportiness, Audi released the S4 and RS4. With turbocharged V6 engines and Quattro system, these cars were a road going race machines. Following the huge success of the first generation, designers at Audi used the same formula to make a versatile family car. Once again, the aim was the car that offers comfort, plenty of room and sporty potential.
The new A4 received a sharp and edgy design, keeping it up to date with the new millennium. On the outside, a tapered front end and curved windscreen gave it a certain resemblance to the TT, while the back end was similar to the older A6.
Also, the 2 door convertible version joined the proven sedan-Avant duo. The biggest improvements were under the hood.
Most gasoline engines were made using aluminum alloy and had increased power output. There were several four-cylinder engines, with or without a turbocharger, and two V6 variants. The biggest upgrade for gasoline engines was a direct fuel injection, called FSI. This system uses unit injectors and gives better performance and increased fuel efficiency.
Another notable update was the continuous variable transmission, named Multitronic, which replaced the conventional automatic transmission on front-wheel drive models. High on the list of priorities was the chassis which has been redesigned and strengthened. The rear suspension received major upgrades, making it similar to one from Audi A8. With this, the handling was comparable to the rear wheel driven Mercedes and BMW while keeping the user friendly feel.
The most powerful version, offered only as S4, was less brutal when compared to its predecessor. It had a naturally aspirated V8 engine, a 6-speed manual or Tiptronic automatic gearbox and Quattro all-wheel-drive as a standard.
Despite being marked as a separate generation, this variant was in fact a facelifted B6. We can answer your questions about using the software or help you find the specific information you need for your Audi A4 Quattro.
