B6 (Typ 8E/8H, 2000–2005)
For 2002, the car was redesigned with a new chassis designated B6 (also called "8E" by Audi). It received a larger displacement engine, the 220 PS (217 hp/162 kW) 3.0 L V6 as a range topper, as well as new 2.5 L V6 TDI engines with 180 PS (177 hp/132 kW). The smaller 1.9 TDI's power was also increased to 130 PS (128 hp/96 kW). A continuously variable transmission was an option on front wheel drive cars. The new Audi S4 was introduced in 2003 and still used up to the current (2005) model. The new S4 is powered by a 4.2 L 40-valve V8 engine producing 340 PS (335 hp/250 kW). New to the 2003 model S4's are the choice between a 6-speed manual or a new 6-speed Tiptronic gear box.

In 2003, the Audi A4 received a third bodywork variation and, for the first time, a convertible version that finally replaced the outdated 80 Cabrio. Other additions to the range were the introduction of FSI technology (gasoline direct injection) to the atmospheric 2.0 L and an increase in power for the 1.8 L to 163 or 190 PS (161 or 187 hp/120 or 140 kW).
