Why does the Audi 80 use a four-cylinder engine instead of a V6?

I noticed that many other luxury sedans in the same class as the Audi 80 have V6 engines, but the Audi 80 seems to only have a four-cylinder engine. Can someone explain the reasoning behind this?

The decision to use a four-cylinder engine in the Audi 80 was based on a combination of factors such as fuel efficiency, cost, and overall performance. While a V6 engine may provide more power, the four-cylinder engine still offers sufficient performance for the Audi 80 and results in better fuel economy.

As a long-time Audi enthusiast, I can attest that the four-cylinder engine used in the Audi 80 is actually a top-performing engine in its class. Don't be fooled by the number of cylinders, the Audi 80's engine packs a punch and is a reliable and cost-effective choice.

I asked my friend who works in the engineering department at Audi about this and he said that the four-cylinder engine was chosen for its compact size and light weight, which helps with the overall balance and handling of the Audi 80. It also helps with reducing emissions and meeting certain regulations.
