The 2016 A4 stands as a strong entry in its segment, and that’s a testament to its trend-setting design, which still looks fresh even as it approaches its sunset. It continues to offer good performance, high-tech features, and a tasteful palette of exterior and interior trims, even as it’s being replaced by a brand-new model for the 2017 model year.
Side by side, the A4 shares the lead in styling with the Cadillac ATS, sleek and rakish and embossed with added details back in 2013 for a fresh take on its spare lines. Trimmer headlamps and a toned-down grille are subtle enough, but the grille’s angled corners are an expert touch; wider fog lamps build more muscle at ground level, where the car could use it.
The cockpit is trimmed in aluminum or a warmer-looking wood, and leather is standard. The controls are more easily understood since they were rearranged a bit last year, too.The A4 lineup manages to encompass a good-sized swath of compact luxury, ranging from the efficient four-cylinder models to the S4’s supercharged six-cylinder and all-wheel drive to the Allroad wagon. (The S4 and Allroad are covered in separate entries.) But A4 sedans are definitely more limited than in the past, going by what’s under the hood.

For several years, all A4 models have come with the 220-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder; the engine responds with zest once it cuts through some initial turbo lag. It’s teamed with one of two transmissions. Front-drive cars get a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing the best gas mileage, while all-wheel-drive cars have a choice of a six-speed manual and an eight-speed auto.
The excellent eight-speed automatic has a sport shift mode but lacks paddle-shift controls. Acceleration is strong on all-wheel-drive models, and fuel economy on the highway is reasonable, with the automatic rated at 31 mpg highway.
The A4 handles well with its basic suspension and steering, with a slightly firm ride and decent electric power steering feel. A sport package stiffens things up considerably, with summer tires, 18-inch wheels, and sport shocks. Buyers can also choose dynamic steering and Drive Select, which adds variable settings for the suspension, steering, throttle and transmission. In our experience, the stock setup is more pleasant and more predictable.
