The automotive sector is capricious and works by trends. A few years ago, no light was seen beyond diesel, which was present in the vast majority of new cars that were sold. Now its use is practically residual. The same with the bodies, since the sedans were popular for their behavior and use. Now everything that isn’t SUV seems doomed. And yet testing the Audi A4 35 TDI we have realized that not everything should be black or white, that one can navigate well in the sea of greys.
Because we continue to see obviousness that seems not to matter to the majority of the population. The first is that a sedan like the Audi A4 has a much more efficient bodywork than that of any SUV that is provided. It is simply enough to analyze its aerodynamics, more worked and fluid, or its reduced height that makes it have a lower center of gravity. Without a doubt, the dynamic behavior is better than that of SUVs while favoring consumption. And the habitability is very successful, it is not too far behind.
And we tested an Audi A4 35 TDI 163 CV MHEV, which is the intermediate diesel version. It uses the 2.0 TDI four-cylinder engine combined with a light microhybridization with a 12V electrical system. In practice it is not that it contributes much, but it makes you get the DGT ECO label that many users are looking for. Despite the prejudices, the diesel block suits the saloon wonderfully, as it stands out for its low power and low consumption.
It is clear that buying a diesel is currently not for everyone. You have to calculate and the accounts no longer come out so easily due to the increase in the price of fuel and its high rate compared to an equivalent gasoline version. However, for those who do a most kilometers per year could still be interesting.
they would take a car with personality, very different from the majority that we see on the streets and that follow fashions, in addition to obtaining an ideal behavior for trips. If the A4 stands out for something, it is for the tuning your chassiswith an above-average ride comfort.
