Recently, the oxcart network learned from relevant channels that the new Audi A4 Avant is undergoing a spy road test. As 2022 approaches, Audi says it will launch the last new car with an internal combustion engine in 2025, which means that from now on, each generation will be the last generation equipped with an internal combustion engine. At that time, the upcoming B10 replacement will launch a pure electric model. This generation of A4 Avant will be the last generation of A4 with exhaust.
This time the test car is still a pre-version, and we can see that it has a more avant-garde body. The headlights look a bit slim, but retain a familiar look. Thankfully, the front grille doesn't look bigger than it is now, with a polygonal blackened mesh design that is similar to the design of the brand's RS 4 model and more sporty. Nowadays, in the case of the air intake grille of each family getting bigger and bigger, more and more peculiar, Audi can still "maintain the original intention", which is not easy.
While the side profiles are essentially the same, it's safe to assume that spy photos mask the redesigned waistline and a few other minor details, thus distinguishing the new generation of the A4 from the current B9. The overall shape of the body is almost unchanged, but it seems to have been slightly lengthened, which can improve the comfort of the ride while maintaining the sports style.
The rear lights are wider than the current ones, and the new car will most likely come with a through-line taillight set. The lower bracketing part has a strong sense of layering, and the exhaust pipe adopts a bilateral layout of two outs.
In terms of power, combined with Audi's electrification process, it is still based on the MLB Evo platform, maintaining the longitudinal front-drive / four-wheel drive layout, and the fuel-based melody is also temporarily unchanged, but Audi will certainly further increase the proportion of the plug-in mix version while popularizing the 48V light mix to cope with the power change of the next generation of models.
summary
B10 is the real sense of the last generation of fuel A4, after the A4 will be based on the Volkswagen PPE modular electric vehicle platform to build, basically and today's pure electric vehicles are not much different, if you still want to grasp the tail of the internal combustion engine era, then this generation of A4 must take a look, I think Audi itself will also cherish this "last carnival".
