The new A4 sedan is the best Audi ever made
Hollis Johnson
This autumn, Audi dropped off brand new 2017 A4 2.0T quattro S tronic sedan clad in Manhattan Gray Metallic paint for Business Insider to check out. It was our first encounter with the company's new 5th generation A4 sedan. To say we were impressed by the car would be an understatement.
After just a few days with the new A4, one thing became crystal clear to BI's transportation team - this new 2017 A4 is the best car Audi has ever made. Yes, it's that good!
No, the new A4 isn't as evocative as the R8. Nor does it have the mind-bending performance of the RS7. The compact luxury sedan certainly doesn't have the vaunted racing pedigree of the Quattro. (The A4 has been known to hold its own as a touring car racer in Europe and the UK.) But what the A4 does have going for it, is the ability to do everything Audi and its consumers need it to do with spectacular effectiveness and efficiency.
As my colleague Matt DeBord put it, "The A4 ticks all of the boxes you can tick, but it doesn't create any new ones."
The brand new A4 sedan starts at a competitive $34,900 while our option-laden test car came with an as-tested price tag of $54,275.
Here's a closer look at the 2017 Audi A4.
