Default Is the trunk on the A4 a true power trunk

So I know that the key fob has a button to open the trunk and I know that there is the foot swipe under the car to open the trunk, but considering that this is supposed to be a luxury vehicle, I have not been able to ascertain if the trunk is a truly full power trunk....meaning, do I need to push the trunk closed with my hand or is there a button, whether the key fob one or a separate button on the trunk lid or in the car, that can be pushed to close the trunk.....

Dont get confused, this is considered an "entry level" luxury vehicle.

The entry level Audi sedan is the A3, not the A4.

The A4 is still considered entry level even if the A3 is the smaller/cheaper brother. You dont get the luxury "options" until the A6.

I would disagree. The A3 competes with the Mercedes CLA, and there is no doubt in anyone's mind the CLA is entry level.

The A4 is A6's lil bro, while the A3 sedan is adopted. IMO, of course

Take a look at how Consumers Reports sets up car ranking classes. They have the A4 in the Luxury Compact Class along with the MB C300 etc, which makes a lot of sense to me. They have the A3 in the Luxury Entry Level Class, along with the CLA.

Regardless if it's an entry level or not, luxury is luxury. If you want to sell the car under a luxury brand don't pull stupid **** like putting halogens as standard equipment, instead of HIDs/LEDs. This goes for mainly BMW and Mercedes, but Lexus is also doing it. Audi did a much better job at providing many optional features as standard, but I think auto-close trunk should've been included on the Prestige model. It's not even an option on the A4.
