Last week I posted a blog on the Fuel Consumption of an Audi A4 with the same engine, but without the Quattro all wheel drive. This week we view the consumption of the same Audi A4 but with Quattro!
The video below shows the approximate fuel consumption at different (constant) speeds. However, I drove this particular car for 1.500 kilometer on regular driving in different driving conditions. This resulted in a calculated fuel consumption during this trip averaged out at 6.55l / 100km.

Video update: Audi A4 2.0 TDI Avant Facelift

As the fourth generation A4, Audi introduced the A4 B8 in late 2007 at the Geneva Motor Show. In February the model range was completed by the introduction of the A4 Avant, while the A5 served as the coupe and convertible in this range. Both the Audi A4 and A5 share the same platform, which is also intented for use by more VAG-brands in the future.

After 4 years of production, the A4 received a facelift, in November 2011. Apart from technical changes, the appearance of the car was also updated. In the front, the grille and headlight have been changed, if the Xenon plus is included it also features and updated LED-design. Also at the rear of the car the design of the rearlights has been altered, including a new LED-design.

The interior has largely been retaining its old design, but minor changes have been made to the (available) steering wheel and the gear shift lever of the automatic transmission, they have been adapted to the design also found in the interior of the new Audi A6. Also the MMI now has less buttons, while the seat heating can be controlled directly from a button (in the pre-facelift generation it was operated on the climate control).
