Audi A4

The Audi A4 is a line of luxury compact executive cars that the German manufacturer Audi, a Volkswagen Group subsidiary, produced across five generations from 1994 to 2025. Its numbering continues that of the Audi 80, which it succeeded, so the first A4 is the B5 series, followed by the B6, B7, B8 and B9. The first generation, Typ 8D, debuted in October 1994 and was built on the Volkswagen Group B5 platform shared with the fourth-generation Passat, first as a saloon, with the Avant estate added in 1995. The car is front-engined with front-wheel drive or quattro four-wheel drive, and the B6 and B7 also included a convertible, which became part of the separate Audi A5 for the B8 and B9. It has been built in Ingolstadt since the start, in Changchun in China since 2003 and in Aurangabad in India since 2007.
