Sorry for the late response, hope your PDI went well. Apart from the Team BHP checklist, just check the VIN using a VIN Checker to confirm the manufacturing month and year.

Haven't come across any case where the customer was misled regarding this but just do your due diligence.

Good to see so many owners already (specially from Pune/ Mumbai area) and many potential buyers.
The price has really increased a lot. I got my Technology Plus (Navarra Blue) for a lot cheaper in September 2021, than what they quote now.
21k kilometres on the clock and not even a single awkward moment with the car. Every time I put it in Dynamic Mode, it brings smile on my face.
People considering SUV's in this price range should consider A4 for sure, if SUV is not mandatory. Sedan has its own driving perks.
I was in a similar boat 2 years ago and glad that I opted for A4 (I was fully convinced to buy a Fortuner)
Happy to answer any queries related to the car ownership.

Congrats on the new car and a very helpful message on your decision making. Wish you a million happy miles with the car. In my case, I finally didn’t go with A4. In the head vs heart battle, my number oriented mind convinced my heart to go with Virtus gt plus dsg (lava blue). I can say that it provides extreme value. Audi will have to wait for a few more years but this will definitely happen sooner than later.

Hey man, could you tell me which sound system is in your car? I got to know today from a guy that works at Audi that A6 premium plus has regular sound system which is actually BOSE but unbranded for some reason. Whereas Technology gets Bang & Olufsen

All the variants of the A4 until MY2022 got the same 10 Speaker Audi branded audio system. I am not sure if it is an unbranded Bose system.

From MY23, the A4 Technology gets a Bang and Olufsen system as well I believe. Hope this helps.

Hi, you got the Direct TPMS installed at the showroom or aftermarket? Can you share the cost?

Was thinking of getting Direct TPMS installed on my Audi A4. Any suggestions from the group would be helpful

Happy to be added to the list of A4 owners. Picked up my premium plus over the weekend. The car is currently getting a ceramic coat and PPf for the bumpers and the bonnet. The one thing I noticed is that Audi seems to have updated the alloys on the premium plus (not sure about premium) to the ones on the Technology variant.

Congratulations! Welcome to the club.

The Navarra Blue is still a head turner ( remember my 1st day with it, attaching a picture) And yes you are right about the alloys, my Technology Plus has the same alloys. Not sure about the Premium variant though.

I never went for the PPF and now I think I should have gone for it. This colour is so prone to scratches that it needs protection.

Do post some pictures once you do a long trip. Happy Motoring.

Wow! Glad to see more A4 Four Ringers join the club!

Guys, do share your initial impressions and how you find it vis-a-vis your previous rides. And yes, need more pretty pictures, please

re: 2022 Audi A4 Premium Review | A case for the base spec | EDIT: 3 years and 40,000 kms up!

Hello Everyone,
It’s that time of the year for me when I have to renew my insurance. I have been approached by various insurance companies/agents and they all are quoting different amounts.
There is something interesting that I got to know.
Almost 3 vendors told me that many insurers have either delisted A4 from their website OR have increased the premium amount and the reason being high number of insurance claims by A4 users.
Even the premium has increased a lot compared to last year.
Not sure if anybody else experienced this.
Interesting though!

Hi everyone, I have been constantly following up this thread from long time. Thanks for all your input. Finally got my dream machine delivered in the month Dec 23. Attaching few pictures.
Have fallen in love with this car. The colour is manhattan grey with black OEM alloys. It looks black after sunset and greenish grey in the morning. I have choose this over BMW x1, 3 series , xc 60 recharge and am very happy with my choice.
Some minor upgrade are blacked out alloy with red caliper , steak PPF , dash cam with Parking monitor.

Have driven 1000km. Getting mileage of 14kmpl in highway and around 8 to 10 in blore traffic.

Picked up my A4 Premium Plus last month. Got a great deal from the Audi dealer in Mumbai. Only covered 800km so far but looking forward to taking it on a long drive soon.

Congratulations for your beauty. Happy revving.
How much is it costing on the road these days, if you are OK to share.
And this Navarra Blue is still a head turner for sure.
Please do share your experience.

Hi,

If you don't mind, could you please share what discounts are available for the Audi A4?

I checked the on-road price in Mumbai, and it's around 64L for the technology variant. I'd like to know what discounts are being offered to recent buyers. Thanks!

3 years old already? A4 crosses 40,000 kms

Our Audi A4 turned 3 years old this week and continues to impress and be a very easy car to live with. The suspension and NVH is really helping cut down on driving and traveling fatigue for my dad who travels out of Pune almost every weekend to rural parts of Maharashtra.

Night-driving is extremely comfortable due to superlative headlights as well as the fact that both the ORVMS as well as the IRVM are auto-dimming. External auto dimming ORVMS on both sides is a really rare and underrated feature in all Audis and reduce eye-strain quite a bit.

The Floret Silver is quite understated and much to the taste of my parents and doesn't have the 'Look-at-me' quality of a brighter or more exotic shade. The lights definitely turn heads though.

Fuel Efficiency:

Since 70% of our car usage is on highways, the car has delivered really good efficiency over its lifetime. Since the purchase, the long term fuel efficiency over 41000 kilometres stands at an impressive 13.2 kmpl. Not bad for a 2.0 L Turbo Petrol with 200 horses on tap.

2022 Audi A4 Premium Review | A case for the base spec | EDIT: 3 years and 40,000 kms up!-whatsapp-image-20250113-4.50.07-pm.jpeg

Last weekend we did a trip from Kothrud, Pune to BKC, Mumbai via the Atal Setu with a light foot in Comfort mode (not Efficiency) from 7 am to 10 am and ended up with 20 kmpl. Pure highway and expressway mileage was 24 kmpl. The car will happily sit at 100 kmph all day in 7th gear and return 20+ kmpl easily.

Tyre Replacement:

2022 Audi A4 Premium Review | A case for the base spec | EDIT: 3 years and 40,000 kms up!-whatsapp-image-20250113-5.09.19-pm.jpeg

Two months ago, while driving back from Sangli, the stock Hankooks developed bulges on three of four tyres in the same trip. Both rear tyres and one of the front tyres had compromised sidewalls and we had to nurse the car back home for around 100 kilometres at a speed of 60-70 kmph.

Since these tyres had already done 40,000 kilometres, we decided to not waste too much time searching for a cause and raising an insurance claim and went ahead and replaced these tyres with Continental ContiSport tyres.

There has been a noticeable improvement in grip and reduction in road noise after this tyre change. Total damage to the wallet was around Rs. 42k including alignment and balancing.

Hoping that these tyres will last for at least 50k kilometres now.


Servicing and Insurance Expenses:

Being our first luxury car purchase, we were apprehensive of maintenance costs but thankfully, we have had no warranty claims, faulty parts or out of the ordinary maintenance expenses.

The car has undergone 3 services at the Audi Pune ASC and the costs have been around Rs. 25k which seems reasonable. However, the Audi service calculator mentions an amount around Rs. 20k while the first work estimate they send is full of extras which push the cost to Rs.40,000. After calling them and telling them to remove these, they are happy to comply but you need to keep a watch.

Insurance expenses for each renewal with all covers apart from RTI this year onwards have been in the range of Rs. 60k.

Hoping the car continues to chug along like this for many years! There has been a downpour of A4s on the forum and with good reason!
