The Audi A4 is an automobile series assembled by Volkswagen Group, first sold in 1995 as a 1996 model. It was based on the B5 and had the same chassis until a redesign in 2002. One distinction was the engine orientation — it is longitudinal, which is more often found in rear wheel drive cars. It was first only available with a 2.8 litre 172 horsepower V-6 until 1997, when the 150 horsepower 1.8 litre Turbo inline-4 was introduced. This engine was affected by an oil sludge problem.

The original A4's sucess is generally viewed as the single most important factor for Audi's recovery in the US after the sales plunge caused by the Audi 5000's sudden acceleration incidents (disclosed on the TV program " 60 Minutes" in 1986). Early A4s also suffered from seveal widely known major design flaws, such as premature control arm and timing belt failures.

The latest model changes introduce a whole raft of new features to the range, and include the introduction of the 2.0 Turbo FSI, 3.0TDI and 2.0TDI engines.
