The Audi A4 B7 was the revised {edition|version} of the A4 (internally {known as|generally known as|often called|often known as|referred to as} B7). TheB7 line made its debut in 2004, and the 2008 marked {the end|the tip|the top} of {production|manufacturing}. The 2.{0|Zero} litre TFSI petrol was {changed|modified} to Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) {technology|expertise|know-how} and {the power|the ability|the facility} output was {also|additionally} {increased|elevated} to 197bhp. Another addition to the A4 petrol engine {range|vary} was the 3.2 V6 FSI with 252 bhp. Both {of these|of those} {units|items|models} boast a {four|4}-valve per cylinder design {as the|because the} outgoing {five|5}-valve design was not {compatible|appropriate|suitable} with the FSI {technology|expertise|know-how}. The diesel {range|vary} of A4 B7 engines was {also|additionally} {updated|up to date}. For the very first time, the 2.0litre TDI was merged with Pump Duse (Unit Injector) {technology|expertise|know-how} with {16|sixteen} valves. A 3.0litre V6 TDI diesel engine {replaced|changed} the 2.5litre TDI V6 and {offered|provided|supplied} 201bhp; it was {further|additional} upgraded to 230bhp in {the following|the next} {year|12 months|yr} (2006). A 2.7 V6 TDI was {also|additionally} added to the Audi A4 B7 engine {range|vary} later.
Audi {kept|saved|stored} {offering|providing} the T-2 {based|based mostly|primarily based} {permanent|everlasting} 4-wheel drive (Quattro) {option|choice|possibility} {for almost|for nearly} {all of the|all the|the entire} A4 {models|fashions}. The German {manufacturer|producer}'s all new Getrag six {speed|pace|velocity} gearbox {also|additionally} made its debut in B7 engines, {replacing|changing} the {five|5}-{speed|pace|velocity} {manual|guide|handbook} gearbox. The CVT {automatic|automated|computerized} gearbox was {still|nonetheless} an {option|choice|possibility} for {front|entrance}-wheel drive variants; {however|nevertheless|nonetheless} the Quattro {four|4} wheel drive {versions|variations} {were|had been|have been} {equipped|geared up|outfitted} with a convention six-{speed|pace|velocity} Tiptronic {automatic|automated|computerized} transmission. The {high|excessive} {performance|efficiency} S4 from the B6 {generation|era|technology} carried over to the S7. {In addition to|Along with} that, it {brought|introduced} {back|again} the Quattro GmbH- designed RennSport, the Audi RS4, with {high|excessive} revving and naturally aspirated 4.2 litre V8 FSI engine. It was {the first|the primary} time this engine was {placed|positioned} {under|below|beneath|underneath} the bonnet of a saloon or Cabriolet {body|physique}. A {limited|restricted} {edition|version} A4 DTM - {inspired|impressed} from Audi's 2004 race {cars|automobiles|vehicles} - was launched in mid 2005 {and then|after which} re-launched in {the next|the following|the subsequent} {year|12 months|yr} as {a regular|a daily|an everyday} {option|choice|possibility}.
Around {town|city}, the A3 2.0T achieves 24 mpg, {while|whereas} the {combined|mixed} {average|common} is 27 mpg. That抯 not {terrible|horrible} by any means. The turbo {four|4} does require premium {fuel|gas|gasoline}, {however|nevertheless|nonetheless}, so refueling {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} {more|extra} {costly|expensive|pricey}. Behind the wheel, the A3 feels {incredibly|extremely} balanced and {well|effectively|nicely|properly} {suited for|fitted to|suited to} canyon carving. It抯 steering is {nicely|properly} weighted, {especially|particularly} in Dynamic mode, and {road|highway|street} {feel|really feel} is conveyed {fairly|pretty} {well|effectively|nicely|properly} {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} the wheel. The engine抯 258 pound-{feet|ft|toes} of torque is magical off {the line|the road}, hitting peak torque at {only|solely} 1,600 rpm. Once the turbo spools up and the variable valve timing switches to its {more|extra} aggressive tune, the engine breathes {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous}, pulling the {car|automobile|automotive} {forward|ahead} with a {surprising|shocking|stunning} {force|drive|power|pressure}. It抯 no R8 - {or even|and even} the TTS for that matter - {but the|however the} A3 does {a great|a fantastic|a terrific|an amazing|an awesome|an excellent|an ideal|an important|an incredible} job of being a {luxury|luxurious} {sports|sports activities} sedan. Outward visibility {is good|is nice|is sweet} {thanks to|because of|due to} {large|giant|massive}-ish {side|aspect|facet} mirrors with blind spot monitoring. The backup {camera|digicam|digital camera} {provides|gives|offers|supplies} {a good|a great|a superb|a very good|an excellent} view rearward, {along with|together with} adaptive {guidance|steerage|steering} {lines|strains|traces}. These {aspects|elements|facets|features|points} {help|assist} tremendously with driver confidence and the perceived nimbleness of the {car|automobile|automotive}. Pushing the A3 {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} {results in|ends in|leads to} a 0-to-60 mph time of 5.{4|Four} seconds.
{If you|For those who|If you happen to|In case you|In the event you|Should you|When you} {were|had been|have been} to {find yourself|end up} on the Autobahn in a U.S.-spec A3, 129 mph {would be|can be|could be} V-max {thanks to|because of|due to} a limiter. 30,900 to {reflect|mirror|replicate} that. But like with any {modern|fashionable|trendy} {vehicle|automobile|car}, {options|choices} can {quickly|rapidly|shortly} escalate, {adding|including} {significantly|considerably} to {the bottom|the underside} line. Now the Prestige {package|bundle|package deal} {might seem|may appear|might sound} overly priced, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} does {offer|provide|supply} {quite|fairly} {a number of|a lot of|a variety of|numerous|plenty of|quite a few|quite a lot of|various} {features|options}. The BMW {3|three} Series has {long|lengthy} bee the benchmark of the entry-{level|degree|stage} premium {performance|efficiency} sedans, {but|however} some say {modern|fashionable|trendy} examples have {lost|misplaced} its {way|approach|manner|means|method}. Still, {the 3|the three} Series continues to {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} {outstanding|excellent} {performance|efficiency} {mixed|blended|combined} with {luxury|luxurious}, all wrapped in a German {package|bundle|package deal} that抯 {appealing|interesting} to {the eye|the attention}. Competing {directly|immediately|instantly|straight} {against|in opposition to|towards} the A3 2.0T is the 328i xDrive. It {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} 240 horsepower and 258 pound-{feet|ft|toes} of torque routed {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} an AWD system. The BMW foregoes a {dual|twin}-clutch in favor of {a traditional|a conventional|a standard} auto gearbox, albeit one with eight {forward|ahead} gears. Sixty mph {comes in|is available in} {just|simply} 5.{3|Three} seconds, besting the Audi by {only|solely} a tenth of a second.
