Audi A4 is shaped in the signature Bauhaus style established by the larger A6 sedan. The A4 takes styling cues from both the TT roadster and A6, including its high beltline, prominent chrome-trimmed grille, and notched-in flush taillights. It's more curvaceous than the more angular pre-2002 A4 models. Headlights, bumpers, and door handles are integrated into the body. Few adornments detract from the A4's basic shape, and there is little chrome. Antennae for the radio, telematics and navigation systems are embedded into the rear glass. A4 is a handsome car, though it looks too much like a little A6, and not distinct enough it its own right.Cabriolet models share the sedan's basic lines and clean, taut surfaces in a two-door body style. The wide arc of the convertible top accentuates the A4's pure proportions and subtle wedge shape. Cabriolet sports unique features, such as the brushed aluminum trim around the windscreen and waist. Especially in light colors, its body-colored airdam accentuates the openings under the front bumper more than the dark-colored airdam on the sedan and Avant. Avant is the same length as the sedan. It features a trunk lid that can open at two different heights, to allow extra height for taller owners.
