Comparison: Audi A4 (B8) vs Audi A4 (B9)

There's so many things to talk about the all new A4, especially coming from a current owner of the outgoing B8 generation. So I've put together this post especially for those wanting to know what's the core differences between the current and the new generation. One thing's for sure, many motoring journalists have said that the B7 A4 matches up to the 3-Series in every way, and the B8 holds a candle to the formidable F30. This new B9-generation A4 however is, in my opinion, in a completely different league even though its evolutionary looks may not suggest so. 



Let's put aside the unquantifiable aspects on how the car drives and feel. For that, you will have to read our review of the all new A4 B9. As for the pictures below, they're definitely not as beautiful as those from Venice Italy, where Audi gave members of the media their first experience of the A4 B9.   

As a current owner of a B8-generation S4, here are the main differences:

Basics Aspects & Key Features
- Its body has grown in all dimensions, it is now longer, wider, roomier, but retains the same height
- Car's overall width is 18mm narrower due to smaller side mirrors
- The sedan is 110kg lighter, the Avant is 125kg lighter. 
- New 7-Speed S-Tronic dual-clutch (Wet Clutch) replaces the CVT and 6-Speed dual-clutch
- New engines across the board
