Audi introduced in 2012 a long-wheelbase version for the A4 range in China and built it in the factory from Changchun.
Together with its local partner FAW (First Automobile Works), the German carmaker unveiled the refreshed fourth generation of the A4 on August 8th, 2012, at Qingdao. There were 40 changes or new elements in the A4 L compared with its non-facelifted sibling. The facelifted A4 also came with a long-wheelbase version, which Audi sold exclusively on the Chinese market.
At the front, the car received a new front fascia with new LED daytime running lights inside the headlamps. Its black, single-frame grille was adorned with a chromed surrounding trim, while the bumper featured two broad, side clusters for the fog lights. Audi made the A4 L with a 6 cm (2.4”) longer wheelbase than its standard version. That added length translated into longer rear doors.
Apart from the increased rear legroom, the A4 L featured a new, three-spoke design steering wheel, similar to the one installed in the Audi A5. Another change at the front was the new gear-lever, which sported a golf-club design carried over from the A6 L model (also available in China). The carmaker added heated seats (outbound), side and rear sunshades, plus three-zone climate control to increase the comfort in the back. On the safety side, the A4 L received adaptive cruise control with an automatic emergency braking function.
Under the hood, Audi installed a choice of four engines ranged between 160 hp and 272 hp. Apart from the five-speed manual gearbox, the carmaker added an option for CVT and a seven-speed (dual-clutch) automatic transmission for the two top versions.
