More than a month has passed since spy shots of what appeared to be a restyled Audi A4 surfaced on the Internet, and the German marque has finally revealed the 2019 A4 sedan and wagon, showcasing a refreshed look for the new model year
The pressure is on Audi in the midsize executive sedan segment as Mercedes has already launched its facelifted C-Class, and BMW is set to unveil its next-generation 3 Series at the Paris Motor Show in October.
While Mercedes chose to largely ignore the temptation to revise the styling of the C-Class in favor of new engines, Audi has gone in entirely the opposite direction by sticking with the current powerplant lineup but revising the styling. There were whisperings a 48-volt mild hybrid system might have been introduced, but as it seems this is now little more than a new model year of the A4 rather than a proper facelift, which we'll have to wait a while for.
