Default A4 2018 MY
I noted that the 2017 A4 Allroad, the 2018 A4 6-speed manual transmission, the newly announced 2018 Q5 and the Q5RS all come with quattro-ultra. Is there any information if the 2018 model A4 will be equipped with the quattro-ultra versus the quattro torsen?

Only manual transmission models will have quattro ultra.

Correct, but when people say A4 they are usually referring to just the sedan.

Huh? The 2017 2018 A4 doesn't come with Quatrro Ultra? Why would they have it on the Allroad and not the sedan?

Maybe quattro ultra wasn't ready when the B9 sedan launched?

This begs the question - when might they switch the B9 sedan to quattro ultra?

Nothing is wrong with Quattro Ultra. People who don't know better think it somehow isn't as good as Quattro, but there's really no empirical evidence to support that assumption.
