2016 Audi A4 Spied in the Snowy Wilderness
Braving the gnawing cold of Old Man winter AutoGuide.com’s spy photographer has managed to catch the next-generation Audi A4 frolicking in the snow.
Despite its psychedelic camouflage this Teutonic sports sedan seems to be dressed in appropriately evolved styling. No dramatic changes appear to have been made, which is great news if you’re a fan of the company’s tastefully elegant design. Of course that leaves much to be desired if you were hoping for more.
The car’s grille looks to be more upright than before and its side-view mirrors have been relocated from the base of the A-pillars to the doors. The front and rear overhangs appear truncated as well, a change that probably allows for more interior space.

‘Round back the tail-lights look like they’ve been reworked and have a thinner appearance. Speaking of trimmer dimensions, the new A4 is expected to lose a good amount of weight, up to 220 pounds. This improvement is likely thanks to the new architecture it rides on.
The car will likely feature a broad array of diesel and gasoline engines and of course S and RS variants are practically guaranteed to be in the works. There should also be a plug-in hybrid version as well for drivers that want to save the planet.
The new Audi A4 is expected to be revealed this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany.
