2020 Audi A4 Family Getting A Proper Facelift After All (Video)
Car scoops
Even by Audi’s standards, the changes made to the A4 lineup last summer were very modest.
Besides the subtly refreshed bumpers, the addition of new alloy wheels, and some equipment upgrades for S-line models, the A4 sedan and A4 wagon remained virtually unchanged. For most people, the modifications looked more like a 2019 model year update rather than a mid-cycle makeover.
As it turns out, that was actually the case. These new spy shots confirm the fact that the A4 will be given a proper facelift soon. Two Audi A4 Avant prototypes spotted in Sweden undergoing winter testing had their entire lower half covered in camouflage.
That fact alone points at some comprehensive styling updates coming our way. The grille is significantly updated gaining a pointier appearance, while the headlights seem to be totally new. The DRLs integrated into the headlamps have a different design as well, as does the front bumper.
On the sides, the fenders look slightly more muscular to give the car more presence and are an homage to the legendary Audi Ur-Quattro.
Compared to the front, rear end updates are less obvious, with the lower part of the bumper gaining a more aggressive appearance as well as rectangular tailpipes. The taillights seem to be unchanged but Audi will probably fit new ones as the development continues.
Bigger changes will take place inside, as Audi is expected to give the car a dash layout inspired by the current A6 as well as the latest tech available. Powertrain changes are also in the cards for the facelifted Audi A4 but it’s too early to talk specifics. The refreshed model will debut in late 2019 and arrive in dealerships in early 2020.

At the risk of being inflammatory, which truly isn't my intention, I kinda forgot about the A4. Which used to be almost the de facto Euro sedans in the States, has barely made any blips. I think they ought to adopt the MMI interface seen in the A8, Q8, etc. in the F/L A4 just so they could generate some more buzz.

Revised RS4 is also undergoing winter testing.

They will be axing the A4 sedan?
Of course they're not. As there is a render of an RS 4 in the post I think it's safe to assume he's referring to the RS 4.

From the post one would assume that. But I think the sedan is way too important for Audi to axe.
It would be disappointing if the sedan didn't get this face lift because IMO it needs it. It's one of those cars that hasn't stood the test of time very well and I was a fan of it when it was released.

Hence I asked would be very odd for them the axe it, it has performed pretty well against the class leader.

headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the
Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th
century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded
by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW
and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932.
The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto
Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
