2010 Audi A4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2010 Audi A4 is the loss of the 3.2-liter V6, leaving the 211-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the only engine. Otherwise, this is a light-update year with revised trim names and equipment rather than a redesign.
About the 2010 Audi A4
B8 generation (2009-2012 in the U.S. before the 2013 update), second model year.
Audi positioned the A4 as a sporty luxury small sedan and wagon with more space than many direct rivals, a strong turbo four-cylinder engine, and an upscale, driver-focused cabin. The core appeal was balancing everyday comfort with sharp road manners, while quattro all-wheel drive added foul-weather confidence. The Avant carried the same idea into a wagon body, giving the A4 range practical cargo flexibility without giving up its premium look and feel.
The 2010 A4 lineup centers on a roomy luxury sedan, with a wagon serving buyers who need more cargo space. Premium models have leather seating, power front seats and a sunroof, while the Avant wagon adds a panoramic roof and standard quattro all-wheel drive. Sedan versions include a front-wheel-drive model with a CVT automatic and quattro models built for stronger all-weather traction.

Frequently asked questions
Was the 2010 Audi A4 redesigned?
No. The 2010 A4 is the second model year of the B8 generation introduced for 2009, so its body, structure and basic mechanical layout carry over.
Does the 2010 Audi A4 have a V6?
No. Audi dropped the 3.2-liter V6 models for 2010, leaving the 211-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the only engine in the A4 lineup.
What changed in the 2010 Audi A4 trim lineup?
The lineup shifted to Premium naming for the 2.0T sedan, quattro sedan and Avant wagon, while the 2.0T and 3.2 Special Edition trims were dropped. The former 2.0T quattro and wagon trims continued under Premium-based names.
Did the 2010 Audi A4 get updated technology?
Yes, but only on navigation-equipped cars. Those models received the third-generation version of Audi’s dashboard control and navigation system with Sirius Traffic; there was no lineup-wide technology overhaul.
Is the 2010 Audi A4 substantially different from the 2009 model?
No. The 2010 model keeps the same B8 design, 2.0T engine and main drivetrain layouts. The meaningful differences are the discontinued V6, reorganized trim names and equipment updates on navigation-equipped and higher-trim cars.
