For 2011, the Audi A4 receives a new transmission, an eight-speed Tiptronic to replace the previous six-speed. Other changes to the A4 and S4 are in trim. The 2.0 Sedan trades its split-folding rear seat for a fixed model, and adds a new wheel design. A new “Premium Plus” package for the 2.0 Quattro Sedan and Avant models builds on the Premium Package and adds Audi Side Assist, Advanced Key with pushbutton start, and driver information centre with colour display.

It uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre direct-injection engine, mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in front-wheel drive, or to a six-speed manual or optional eight-speed Tiptronic automatic in the Quattro sedan, and the eight-speed automatic only in the Avant.
