The subdued cockpit makes the A4's digital displays stand out in even higher contrast: on most models, a wide, high-resolution display switches dynamically from navigation to instrumentation while a center panel follows duplicates and augments that information -The Car Connection
With the right mix of outright modern tech features and a practical interior layout, the 2017 Audi A4 enters this year, with a revised cockpit. Able to seat 5 adults comfortably, the A4's longer wheelbase allows it to have a bigger cabin space. Material quality used inside has been on point. With respect to the last year's model, the 2017 A4, with an all0new platform has an inch more of headroom and 2.6-inches more of front shoulder room.
With firm bolstering, the seats are adequately comfortable. While the front seats get 12-way electric adjustments, the rear ones get 8-way too. Going up the trim ladder, Audi also offers you sport seats. Heated and ventilated seats are also standard in the top Premium Plus and Prestige trims. Quite evidently so, the 2017 Audi A4 has the best interior of all. Coming to the competition, with the biggest wheelbase of 111.8-inches, the Mercedes Benz C-Class, has the biggest cabin space of all.
