2021/2022 Audi A4 45 TFSI Premium Plus Review - Walk Around and Test Drive

[@georgealex19]

After seeing all the recent a4 reviews out there (since I ordered the car), this is legit the best review for this car. Not bias towards competitors, no wrong information presented (some guy complained there are no usb ports in the back…) and video quality is top notch. Great job!

[@YourSoulDriver]

Moving from a VW GLI, which was very fun to drive, to a 2022 A4 45 TFSI. I really like the A4. Very happy with the car.

[@jusemomo2000]

Do you have de MHEV version? How much is the fuel economy of your a4? I

[@assordante2205]

I had a 2016 a4 when I was in Germany. On the autobahn, it was very happy cruising at 120 mph. Contrary to popular belief, the autobahn does have speed limits in some spots. But when you see that beautiful unrestricted sign, it loved opening the throttle wide open. Are the S class Audi's sick? Absolutely. But you don't need it, and I was more than happy with my A4 and am now back in the market for a new one.

[@tv321123]

I owned a B8 2011 S4 back in the day; and just picked up a 21 B9.5 S4. They have gotten a lot better over the past few years. A regular A4 now is about as fast as my old S4 was. And this new S4 had me thinking I overdid it; Its really fast XD, I'm going to get in trouble really quick. Hope the A4 worked out for you, amazing cars. Dose everything well while getting amazingly high MPG.

Man Audi has upped their game no doubt man Audi over bmw and Mercedes for me 💪

[@chuckdiego719]

Pretty honest and on point review of this car. I just purchased the 2022 model of the A4 S line for my wife. It’s replacing a high mileage A7 I was going to get her an electric vehicle but at this time they are hard to come by and have dealer markups. I have owned the 2016 S4 and had it for a couple of years and enjoyed the car. I drove the 2022 S4 and of course I liked that car but I had to come to a realization $10,000 more wasn’t worth it for me. Don’t tell my wife. We are very happy with The performance of her new car.

A Great review. Bought a pre-owned 2022 45 S-Line with 8600 mileage. Great car, Awesome looks. Inside with technology is Great. Apple car play, and the 360 camera. The Quattro handles the road like a champ.

[@ray_f]

One of the best reviews I've come across so far- a lot of great points! I'm hoping the a4 sees an interior refresh soon to match the new a3 which looks modern.

[@rosendosolesainz5059]

[@joeyc1563]

I’ve upgraded from an hr-v to a 21 A4 S line it doesn’t have all these options but it has 80% of the options in this one here so it’s basically the same and reliability wise it’s been good a lot of modern German cars fixed the issues with the older ones but some Honda or Toyota owners still insult them to this day

[@dhisonpadma]

I appreciate you- what a well put review!

[@Icanreadgood1]

Great review and I'm really considering this as an upgrade from my 2017 VW Alltrack. I noticed on some of the builds there is a different steering wheel, and I don't know what option adds that in. The steering wheel has an S badge on the bottom, and it looks to have perforated leather. Looks like the same wheel from the S4 but is an add on for the A4, do you know what package?

[@oompa02]

Great review! Could you also review the A6?

[@AbdelkrimKhodjabache]

You didn't mention the electric motor, and if it's complicated to maintain or not, and the battery life

[@everettsager4654]

How do you think it compares to the new 2022 Mercedes C-Class?

[@assordante2205]

The Mercedes is gross to look at, and it's slower. The interior looks completely ubsurd.

[@jamesrutkowski7222]

Is it reliable is the huge question

[@KandiSAIMusic]

As long as you keep up with maintenance religiously. I've driven only German cars all my life and people say how can I purchase such an "unreliable" car? I told them of the 4 German cars I've owned. All were driven to over 120,000 before I sold them for a new car. Never had any issues with any of them because I made sure I kept up with it's maintenance. I drive an Audi A4 Quattro currently because of the power it has. These are performance cars which people fail to realize. They require more than an oil change to keep it running. For collision, it is rated 3/5. Not many sport sedans are built for impacts. The car is meant to rip apart to save drivers. For the value, you get a technology package that aids in safe driving with sensors and automatic breaking when a collision is predicted (Based on speed and distance from other cars). I don't drive fast on local roads so my sensors don't kick in. However if I'm on the highway going fast, the car is put on high alert and gives off information to prevent accidents. Personally, the Audi A4 had been the best car I've ever own. I highly recommend this car. A very smooth ride on roads with a high performance engine.

[@Tall-Cool-Drink]

@@KandiSAIMusic I too like the A4. I've owned 2005, and currently 2014 model. And Iv'e kept all my maintenance appointments. However, it still has some nagging issues, particularly the oil consumption issue. The best fix was to use heavier motor oil. I used to top off the oil every 850 miles. With the heavier oil I can go for about 2500. Yeah it's a little bit of a hassle.

[@KandiSAIMusic]

@@Tall-Cool-Drink Oh this is something I will keep in mind. I do always get the high grade oil as it scares me to even think about putting something low grade in the engine. I 've always went for 93 octane gas (premium) so I don't apply too much wear and tear to the engine. It's a hassle yes but worth the experience to drive them to their capabilities!

[@michaelanton1508]

All premium German cars need special care, and they deliver - keep up with the maintenance and you’ll be pleased with the best driving experience out there

[@KandiSAIMusic]

@@michaelanton1508 Absolutely!

[@rafaelverdejo1035]

Does the Audy A four come with a head up display?

[@JD-kf2ki]

No way I choose a Benz over an Audi.

[@Tall-Cool-Drink]

I guess it depends on the definition of "Performance".

[@qwertyman9560]

It can do 0-60 in 5.2 s, some reviews even got sub 5 + its got Quattro, not to mention a very nice power band with excellent low end torque (peaks at 1600 rpm). All this while getting 27-28 mpgs average. Not bad for performance IMB.

[@4nlover635]

I ordered the A4 45 in January. I am hoping that I will like it.

[@mralxndr2846]

I did a Testdrive with the a4 40 today and can assure you of the 45 cause I went for that one after.

It is slightly faster than BMW 330i. But you can hardly feel it. The BMW 330 can raise your adrenaline higher, tho.

ONLY THE HORRIBLE FASHION OF SCREENS NOT INTEGRATED, BREAK THE PERFECTION OF THIS NEW A4 2022-3.

[@georgealex19]

I honestly prefer the screen being above, way easier to see it while driving vs having it integrated and moved down, like in the a6

[@videogazer801]

But……. Is the car reliable? Remember, Audi is notoriously known for being money pits

[@sterlingarcher7101]

Highly dependent on power train and maintenance. Can’t expect sophisticated technology to be beat to death if you neglect to do proper maintenance.

[@videogazer801]

@@sterlingarcher7101 well, even with unkept maintenance, Audi is still known to be a luxury and technological car and not a reliable car as say, Honda and Toyota. Hence, why big theee German auto makers have so much of their inventory leased instead,

[@edwardmorvitz7682]

@@videogazer801 Have driven a 2011, 2015 and now own a 2023 A4 Premium plus. Never had any reliability issues. Bring it in once or twice a year for service. Not sure why some say it is unreliable. Even Consumer Reports rates it better than average in reliability.

[@videogazer801]

@@edwardmorvitz7682 because if you put their cars through heavy mileage, that’s where you can see all the issues that makes them huge money pits. I have many friends who have learned this that way. Lease them or own them with a full warranty and all you’ll spend is money on expensive warranties and time ar dealerships. That is the trade off for German luxury and performance, compared to Japanese

[@joeyc1563]

@@videogazer801Ah yes the typical Honda Toyota fanboy saying Audi is unreliable when they never owned one. I got a 21 A4 S line, I’ve never had any major issues, just kept up with basic maintenance like you would any car. Keep in mind newer German cars are becoming more reliable because of class action lawsuits regarding issues. And also Honda in 2024 is lowering its quality and there’s beginning to have issues with them now too so nothing is perfect.
