Audi A4 1994–2001 car dimensions: 4479 mm long, 1733 mm wide and 1415 mm high. Boot space with the seats up is 440 litres.
The cabin uses a classic three-dial instrument layout with centre console controls for the audio system and heating or air conditioning. Air conditioning is standard on many examples while full automatic climate control is optional. Cruise control and acoustic parking sensors are available on some grades. No touchscreen interface or advanced electronic driver aids appear in the equipment lists.
The sedan boot provides 440 litres with the rear seats in place. Folding the split rear seat expands capacity to 720 litres.
Payload is listed at 550 kg across versions. Braked towing capacity varies by engine and drivetrain, with figures commonly between 1300 kg and 1700 kg. Unbraked figures sit around 650-720 kg. A sport suspension pack is optional. The car suits light trailer work but no dedicated heavy-duty cooling is noted.
The cabin uses higher-quality materials than the prior model with a classic layout of three round instruments and central climate controls. Seats offer solid comfort and support with height adjustment available. Optional heated front seats and power adjustments add ease. Noise levels stay low thanks to effective insulation. A sliding sunroof is available as an option for more light and air.

Engines cover petrol from 1.6 to 2.8 litres and diesels from 1.9 to 2.5 litres. Combined fuel use ranges across the line depending on the chosen unit and drive type.
Service visits occur at regular intervals based on distance or time, with a long-life option that adjusts timing to actual use. Timing belt changes form a key part of upkeep on many engines.
Standard safety includes ABS and a driver airbag, with passenger airbag optional at launch. Side airbags became standard later in the run. Head airbags were optional. The body structure held up well in frontal tests with modest intrusion.
The galvanized body resists rust for long periods under the warranty. Regular checks on suspension arms and fluid levels help keep the car reliable over high mileages.
