What is it?
The B9 A4 is the eighth-generation Audi A4 and the last to wear the A4 name. Audi has rationalised its model naming, and the all-new A5 sedan that arrived in 2025 effectively replaces the A4. The B9 remains on sale in Australia in run-out form. Two grades for Australia: the 35 TFSI FWD and the 45 TFSI quattro, in sedan or Avant wagon.
The lineup runs from 35 TFSI at $71,800 plus on-roads, through to 45 TFSI Avant quattro at $82,800 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
Run-out pricing makes the 45 TFSI quattro a value standout. Cabin quality remains a benchmark with real switchgear not all touch. Quattro AWD on the 45 TFSI. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, virtual cockpit, fuss-free MMI. Avant wagon still a niche pick with a 495 L boot.
Run-out model, A5 sedan replaces it, depreciation risk higher. Old MMI software next to BMW iDrive 8.5 and MBUX Superscreen. ANCAP rating is from 2015 protocol. No PHEV option.
