A glance is all you need to tell that the interiors belong on an Audi. The cabin delivers the impression that you are seated in an expensive, well-designed cockpit, things come to hand easily and the general fit is good. There are plenty of stowage areas tucked nicely around the front of the cabin. There is no handbrake lever — it’s electronic and functions via a button marked ‘P’, and this opens up some space for oddment enclosures.

This version is also equipped with a keyless go and a clear-sounding Bang&Olufsen sound system that has 10 channels and 14 speakers, including the subwoofer. Traffic jam concerts could alleviate some of the hassle of a city commute. Despite these features, the interiors are a bit disappointing since they aren’t an advancement like the rest of the car. Closer inspection also reveals that the quality of a few plastics on the central console is not upto Audi’s usually exceptional standards.

With the longest wheelbase in the class and the most width too, the new A4 offers occupants a bigger cabin. The front seats are large and very comfortable and you can find the perfect driving position as everything is adjustable. The rear seats are fantastic too, offering loads of space and has that airy feeling.
