The B6 refined the B5's formula with improved quality and a new design language. The platform eventually underpinned the first Seat Exeo — proof of its engineering strength.
History
The B6 A4 Cabriolet was one of the most popular open-top four-seaters of the 2000s. The S4's 4.2-liter V8 was a controversial but charismatic departure from the B5's turbo character.
