The new Audi A4 2016 is Audi’s entry in the small executive car market and as far as we’re concerned, it is also one of the best offerings out there. While it doesn’t impress too much with its understated style it surely does impress with one of the best interiors in its class and a selection of very nice engines which not only offer great performance but also good fuel economy. The current model of the car has been around for a few years already so there is going to be a 2016 Audi A4 which is not only going to be a facelift but a completely new model.

This will ride on the new Audi’s modular platform with the engine sitting longitudinally in the front. While the new Audi A4 2016 will still be offered with front wheel drive as standard, the engine position will greatly help the car in the all wheel drive quattro applications. Further improvements are going to be made on its exterior as well as on the inside. The release date hasn’t surfaced just yet but we expect it to be released in April 2015 with the production model being ready by the end of the year. Just like before, the 2016 Audi A4 price will sit around $36,000 for the base model meaning that it is one of the cheaper models in its class.
