Looks only go so far — is the 2021 Audi A4 the next great entry sedan?
The 2021 Audi A4 returns for the new model year with a new look, or product improvement as Audi likes to call it. For 2021 the model gets a sharper style improvement, with pinched headlights flanking a neat singleframe grille that is broader and flatter with horizontal lines to emphasize width at the front and rear.
Audi styling favours sharp lines and subtle creases while staying clear of drama. It’s mature. The 2020 A4 catches up and modernizes a bit, but still doesn’t step more than knee-deep into the edgy waters.
See our First Impressions video below:
All A4 models now get standard LED headlights with the top-of-the-line headlights offering Matrix LED technology. This also brings the A4 more in line with family styling, namely the A6 and A7.

Audi is now offering new equipment lines that include basic, advanced, and S line for the exterior. The S models get their own look. A4 buyers have 12 paint options to choose from including a new colour called Terra Grey.
