The B5 generation Audi A4, sold from 1996 to 2001 in North America, was a turning point for the brand. It replaced the dated Audi 80 and introduced a new platform with a sophisticated multi-link front suspension, giving it a superior ride and handling balance that finally challenged the BMW 3 Series. With clean styling and a high-quality interior, the B5 A4 successfully elevated Audi's image.
Today, the B5 A4 is an accessible modern classic. Enthusiasts seek out models with the 5-speed manual transmission, especially when paired with the tunable 1.8T turbocharged four-cylinder or the smooth 2.8-liter V6 and quattro all-wheel drive. The Avant wagon variants are particularly desirable for their added utility and style.
