Sorta A4ordable: All-New 2017 Audi A4 Still Starts Under $40,000
That is not the 2016 Audi A4 pictured above, or the 2013 or even the 2009. Nope, this is an all-new 2017 A4 with all-new, higher prices.
For better or worse, Audi design doesn’t change much from one generation to the next, except the 2017 A4 is even better to drive and brimming with useful, highly sophisticated tech. A base front-wheel-drive 2.0T Premium starts at $37,300, just $475 more than 2016. But since all-wheel drive is Audi’s game, dealers will load up on the 2.0T Quattro Premium, which starts at $40,350.
That’s $1425 more than the automatic Quattro for 2016 and another $1000 more than the six-speed manual version, which is no longer on sale (but may come back later). All 2017 A4 models come with a revised seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic formerly reserved for the S4. The CVT on front-wheel-drive models (formerly known as FrontTrak versions) is gone. The familiar 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder now brings 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque (up 32 hp and 25 lb-ft). The white car you see here is the First Edition, a package based on the Premium Plus trim, which offers cooled sport seats, special aluminum décor, a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, and special 18-inch wheels. There is no production limit, and First Edition cars can be ordered throughout the 2017 model year. The TDI diesel is indefinitely postponed, while the older-gen S4 and Allroad will soldier on through 2016.
On top of previously standard equipment ...
