Audi A4L long-wheel-base revealed for Chinese market

VW Engine are these engines the same or what??? The A4L will come with VW/Audi's 2.0 liter TFSI engine tuned to a 180 horsepower output, as well as the 3.2 liter V6 FSI with 265 hp.

How does 6 cm make the car a long wheel base?

Why do they need larger cars considering they are not the tallest people plus they have the one child policy? "often used as transport for executives or as company vehicles for higher-ranking managers." Come on, seriously?

why not just buy an A6?!

looks ugly specialy the butt! btw why does a car in a size of A4 needs a long wheel base!

any chance of this coming to the US??

not oly is the car butt ugly and boring in general. Not mentionin the front grille that's like a fish mouth forever open, the face of the car looks like it has down syndrome. Shame, we have a sick little fish on hand...Now you tell me how this is compete against the muscular 3 Series that's the iconic sports sedan, that's superior in looks, performance, quality (definately better than VW quality), reliability, style, service.

C class is much much much more better looking than this ugly car. Why does a company like Audi think in this direction! I just don't understand them.

Sorry to tell you guys but the Audi A4 was voted Car of the year by several magazines. You can say BMW = Best all you want but people who actually know a thing or two about engineering and design beyond a badge on the hood realize that Audi are developing far quicker than BMW in recent years. Just look at the R8, its rivaling cars that cost $100,000 more than its list.

Oh good grief Freude120, you really need to settle down. And please lay off the caps. Isn't there anything meaningful in your life you can be excited about apart from this? Yes, the VW Group does share an unholy number of parts across the range but it still sells them cars for the larger majority of people that are not aware of that. And I'm not a fan of Audi interiors but a great number of auto journalists/people say it's quite a nice place to be and it does look like quality work. I wouldn't buy the A4 but it's still a good car. The LWB A4 is China-specific and won't be sold anywhere else. The Chinese market is big enough that manufacturers can make cars according to the wishes of the masses. I may be wrong here but I think MB will be selling the '10 E-Class in LWB form there. It wouldn't work anywhere else in the world because it wouldn't make sense for the market and it would cannibalise S-Class sales. But not in the People's Republic. Third point. Audi's exterior design language is first-rate. It is sufficiently minimal yet properly expressive. Their only failing is that all their cars look like photocopies in varying size of each other. They're still photocopies of a nice design but they need to work on that. Regardless, on the merits of design, I'd get an A4 far, far faster than I would a 3-series. The 3-series is now the entry level Toyota although Audi will take that crown if it continues to grow in popularity. I gather lots of unrestrained energy from your posts so if I were you, I'd direct it all away from WCF and put all my efforts into meeting Chris Bangle and worshiping at his feet singing praises of the sacredness of the Bangle-butt. Unless you're trolling. Then I unfortunately just wasted my time.

here it is again...blah,blah,blah,blah by freude120 the doorknob who doesnt even own a BMW let alone any European car. Please tell mommy or daddy to take their keys back from you so you can go on driving your Honda civic you troll...your opinion (bashing) is about as useful as a 6th toe. Grow up or try to be somewhat constructive in your posts...you're boring and frankly we are bored of you...

I have to agree with allroad and AfterDawn. I'm not saying that we aren't all entitled to an opinion, but Freude120, you are taking it to a whole different level as if Audi and VW did something to you personally. Why are you so angry in life? Give it a break man.

Dsnt this defeat the pourpose of it being an a4...?

Freude is just a little boy whose parents probably own a BMW. He is too ignorant to know that he's being an annoying troll and that he doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. Get a life. You don't see Audi fans bashing every single BMW that comes up on this website. Grow up. We get it. You don't like Audi. "R8 is worst in class". That's why it won so many awards, a number of them being 'car of the year' awards. When was the last time BMW even built something in that class. Well enough. I'm wasting my time trying to reason with a little troll like you. Hopefully, you'll grow up one day.

what is the point in having a long wheel base a4??

Well boys, with regard to the Audi vs. BMW argument, shall we put this to rest once and for all? Just search out the facts on the Internet and decide for yourselves. If you research every racing series that both Audi and BMW have ever competed in together, you will discover that Audi has so thoroughly dominated that BMW drops out and stops competing or lodges a formal protest that Audi has an unfair advantage with quattro, and attempts to have Audi banned from the series. Look it up and convince yourselves. I have owned at least one of each of these marques in every series (sedans and sports cars, no SUV?s), as well as, 4 Porsches and personal experience in both racing and daily driving has proven that the Audi is the superior machine over the BMW in every class segment. The only advantage the BMW has ever been able to legitimately claim is the handling dynamics and the tossability of its rear drive. Today, with Audi?s new quattro 40/60 rear traction bias and sports differential, even that advantage has been completely negated. Audi?s racing prowess has existed from the very beginning and continues today. As far back as pre-World War II the Auto Union (Audi) Silver Arrows completely dominated Gran Prix racing (forerunner of F1), dominating over both Mercedes Benz and BMW. The Auto Union Silver Arrows were designed by no other than Ferdinand Porsche! And finally, there's no getting around the fact that Audi will forever be the "A" car and BMW the "B" car. IMHO contributors to this forum who express fanatical opinions, but who have never driven either marque, let alone driven them in competition, are simply a source of mild amusement.

freude ill admit that the bmw 3.5i engine is good, but the engine listed hear also was on that list of the best engines of the year having earned best 2 litre engine. get your facts straight you fool before you go bashing something you know nothing about.

After reading all the stupid and useless comments that our friend (not really) freude120, I have made a conclusion. My conclusion is that he is a stupid BMW user, and also is a fuccking asssssssssssshole, Hijo de Putta, Concha tu madre, mal parido, mal nacido, and many other spanish words I know that I could include down there. I forgot a detail: GO TO HELL!!!!!!

i am SO not getting in the middle of that stupid audi-beemer fight, but... if one needs something bigger than an a4, why not considering an a6? really, they all look and feel pretty much the same!

Did he not also say that BMW won't enter stupid segments that nobody asked for? HELLO, X6 anyone?
