  • New Audi A4 will get the company's Matrix LED headlamps

The next generation Audi A4 sedan was recently spotted testing in India without and camouflage. Of Course the brand logo and other badging were covered, the embossed impression reveals that it is the 2017 Audi A4 TDI version. This is not the first time the car has been spotted testing in India and these repeated sighting only mean that the carmaker wants to launch the car in India as soon as possible. That, by the way, we believe will happen in the second half of 2016.
