Audi A4 Premium 40 TFSI

The Audi A4 offers luxurious driving experience with advanced tech, smooth handling, and stylish design. However, it comes with higher maintenance costs and limited rare seat space.

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.
