New 2023 Audi A4 Review
It is expected to be available around 2023. The new Audi A4 will stay on the same MLB platform that is used in the current model.

The production of the final engine-powered model will start in 2025 and conclude with a regular lifecycle in 2033. However, we’ll introduce some models earlier.”
Engine & Specs
The A4 is anticipated to fall into the timeline when it arrives in 2023. While the diesel variant will be offered, however, the vast majority of the range will feature another version of VW Group’s renowned EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. VW is believed to be developing variable-section turbines for the turbocharger. These are designed to increase throttle response even at low speeds and also deliver higher general power levels. It is likely to increase the pressure from fuel injection in addition because currently, this 2.0-liter motor is being beaten in this respect by the smaller 1.5-liter TSI unit that features a variety of Skodas, SEATs Skodas as well as VWs.

The chassis configuration of the A4 is expected to remain the same however, the 48-volt electrics offer more options for technologies like active anti-roll bars. They will be added as an option or as standard on high-performance versions.

The A4 is expected to be just one millimeter longer and the wheelbase will remain the same.

Models
Despite the decision to use diesel and petrol engines, Audi may also launch a pure electric version, to provide it with a competitive advantage over BMW’s renowned all-electric i4, as being a contender to Model 3 from Tesla. Tesla Model 3. Its design would be similar to the standard models, but it would not be similar to them. If asked directly if an all-electric version of the A4 (likely to be branded A4 e-Tron) could be offered alongside the standard models, Hoffman said: “We are very happy to be able to establish a strong collaboration within the Group that includes Porsche in the case of PPE [platformas well as VW to develop the MEB [platform] along with our own, called the MLB. We can design and build customized platforms for all technologies.

Therefore, I’m very content that we’re able and can combine both.” This kind of car could likely be on the way after the time of the A4 with or a modified version of the PPE platform that will be housed under the Q6 e-Tron that is coming or the VW Group’s unifying SSP design expected to be in place in 2025.
