The all-new fifth-generation Audi A4 will be first shown to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2015 in September. The new Audi A4 gets a restyled exterior and contemporary interior along with a heavily updated petrol and diesel engine range. It also comes with a newly developed chassis.

The new Audi A4’s exterior styling makes it look more formal than its rivals; the BMW 3-series and the Mercedes C-Class sedan. The Audi A4’s look has been styled taking into consideration the feedback received from existing customers from its largest markets namely Germany, China and USA. The new Audi A4’s key styling elements include a wider single-frame grille, newly shaped headlights with restyled LED DRLs, clamshell-style bonnet along with larger wheelhouses, a flatter roof and more prominent shoulder with a deep swage line running the length of the flanks. It also gets new sharp tail-lights which are a take on Audi’s traditional LED graphics. Audi says that every single body panel on the A4 is new, although the car does appear a lot like the updated version of its predecessor when viewed from certain angles. The new Audi A4 sedan is 4,726mm long, 1,842mm wide and 1,427mm high, making it 25mm longer, 16mm wider and as the same height as its predecessor. It is based on Audi’s latest MLB platform and sees an increase of 12mm on the wheelbase, to 2,820mm. Despite the increase in size, the new A4’s weight is reduced by 120kg as it is uses hot-formed high-strength steel in the body structure and aluminium for various body panels, including the roof. 

The new Audi A4’s interior gets a contemporary new design that opens up more space in the car, than earlier. According to the manufacturer, the new A4 gets additional 24mm of headroom, 11mm more shoulder room up front and a 23mm increase in rear legroom. The new Audi A4’s seats are also newly designed and weigh 9kg less than those of the earlier car.
