Next generation Audi A4 gets rendered

Audi’s upcoming B9 generation A4 is expected to come out later this year, but before the big reveal, the premium sedan has been digitally rendered, giving us a rough idea of what the car will look like.   

The new A4 is likely to sport an evolutionary look with sharper lines. The car is also expected to be noticeably bigger in comparison to the current generation A4. What this means is that the German automaker is working on really differentiating the vehicle from the smaller A3 sedan which bears a similar design. Expect the B9 model to have a decently longer wheelbase than the current A4.

Going by previous reports, the new A4 will make use of the MLB Evo platform which should help in weight saving of about 100kg over the existing model. Besides the regular turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, Audi could also introduce a plug-in hybrid variant powered by a 211bhp, 2-litre TFSI engine paired with a 95bhp electric motor.

The new A4 is expected to be showcased later this year. Until then, Audi will have to continue with the B8 A4 which faces stiff competition here in the Indian market, thanks to the highly improved latest-gen Mercedes C-Class.
