[Music] this is the audi a4
and i'm test driving the 45 tfsi quattro s line which is the top of the range
before you get to the sporty models and costs around 69 000 before on-road
costs and extras it competes with cars like the
bmw 3 series and the mercedes c-class here's how it did over a week for this
week's family review [Music]
looks wise it certainly stands up on the road as a very stylish and yes
cool sedan it feels modern and fresh and still retains that european styling we
all seem to covet look when cars look this good it's no
wonder the inside is also very nicely laid out
it looks quite flash with this trim over here
but also quite functional and it's got quality finishings throughout
being the s-line the seats are a nappa leather with
contrast stitching you do pay extra for them but you are getting
a premium finish there are brushed metal trims throughout the car
like over here and on here they're even on the foot pedals which look
fabulous the center console is nicely designed with a new 10.1 inch
larger screen and you definitely feel good while driving this car
the steering wheel is also leather and it's that very excellent
flat bottom shape that audi does so well makes you feel like a racing car driver
even though you're probably only going 50 in the suburbs
there are two cup holders in the front seat and you also get
a variety of smallish trays to pop various bits and pieces in
cards keys you can pop your phone in here there's a qi charger in here
so no center console just the qi charger you do get bottle holders in
each door it's also quite spacious in here with a
similar feel to an suv you just don't have the same
height but you have the same width and the same breeziness
you definitely have enough legroom and headroom even for taller people
my children aged six and eight had plenty of space
in the back here and they were happy to climb in and do their belts up on their
own always a bonus i can fit easily back
here i'm 161 centimeters and i've got enough room between my knees and the
seat in front of me that i think taller adults or other
teenagers will fit fine back here too you can also fit three children seats
across here i did it with two boosters and a
baby capsule rear passengers get this fab center armrest with a spot
for an ipad two very nifty cup holders you'll also
get your own climate control in the back seat which my kids always appreciate
space in the boot is good i mean it's not huge
but it is definitely getting up there compared to a midsize suv
it's just long rather than high so you'll get 460 liters of space
in the a4 and that gives you enough room for a large suitcase and a medium
suitcase just you'll get a pram in there no
problem groceries and school bags you won't have an issue with
and the driving is lovely it feels ultra smooth on the road and it makes me feel
ultra smooth driving it which is nice i mean of course it's the car doing all
the work but it still makes you feel really good
on the road it handles beautifully and it feels
agile on the road especially when you compare it to an suv
there's a two liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine which means you don't have
any trouble getting up hills and it coasts along highways beautifully
fuel consumption is acclaimed at 7.1 liters per
100 k's and i did a best of 9.2 liters per 100ks this week parking is great
because the steering wheel turns so easily and it maneuvers
really nicely it's also got a super high definition reverse parking camera
and a 360 degree view camera to help you out for safety as
standard you'll get auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection
plus lane change warning and then if you want more than that you can opt in for
the assistance package which is what this car has
and that gives you things like blind spot monitoring rear cross traffic alert
adaptive cruise control for example you'll also get eight airbags the
difference here being that you get side airbags for rear passengers as well
as the front passengers which is getting slowly slowly slowly
more common and it's something that i appreciate
having kids in the back seat there are two isofix points plus three
top tether points to fix kids car seats in safely the tech has
improved too and audi says the new model offers 10
times the computing power of the old model
thanks to the connect to car features including live traffic
weather reports and fuel pricing and you can also remotely
unlock and lock your car from your phone it still has apple carplay and android
auto so you can plug your phone in and navigate and
listen to music via those apps and it's now a touch screen so the old
model was not a touch screen this is a much improved version much
easier to use this great a4 also has 10 speakers so
turn the sound up [Music]
the audi a4 is a beautiful car to drive and served my family of four
really well this week we fit neatly inside
it has pretty decent boot space it looks fabulous
and it has good safety and technology i gave it a family rating of 8.2 out of 10
this week and my kids gave it the same they just knew it was a stylish car
