AUDI INDIA TO LAUNCH THE 2013 FACELIFTED A4 SEDAN

With the F30 BMW 3 series sedan readied up for a launch in India in the second half of 2012, Audi India seems to be wanting to make the most of the time between the launch of the new car model and the stock clearance of the current 3 series sedan by preponing the launch of the 2013 facelifted A4 sedan. The 2013 Audi A4 is a facelifted model that comes with a host of changes both on the exteriors as well as the interiors. The German luxury car maker has also tweaked the engines of the 2013 A4 sedan for better performance and efficiency. So, the facelift is a comprehensive one in that sense.

The front end of the 2013 Audi A4 sees a facelift with new headlamps with daytime running lamps, which are a characteristic design feature that Audi first made popular. The front bumper too gets a refresh with the grille getting chromed inserts on the slats. With these changes, the front end of the 2013 Audi A4, while looking unmistakably Audi manages to endow the car with a fresh new appeal. On the rear, the tail lamps get a refresh with the design resembling the ones on the bigger A6 sedan. On the whole, the 2013 Audi A4 does have some similarities to the A6 sedan when it comes to the design of the exteriors.

On the inside, the 2013 Audi A4 sees usage of new materials and the steering wheel design has also been changed. The Audi Multi Media Interface or MMI as it is called, gets a new way of operations with just 4 buttons required to now operate the system, thereby simplifying the usage. This is something that both existing A4 owners and new owners would greatly appreciate as the simpler the system, the more intuitive and better it is to use, especially when the car is moving. So, these are the major exterior and interior changes on the new 2013 Audi A4 sedan, which will debut in the next few days in the Indian car market.
