The Audi S4 could be the perfect midpoint for a lot of luxury mid-size sedan or wagon buyers. It’s not the full-fat hardcore RS4 that costs about fifty per cent more, but nor is it a ‘standard’ A4 by any measure. That’s because the S4 is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol V6 engine with mammoth outputs of 260kW and 500Nm. It comes standard with Audi’s ‘quattro’ all-wheel drive system and an eight-speed automatic, plus has plenty of performance tweaks to help out in terms of suspension, aerodynamics and appeal. The Audi S4 is available as a sedan, priced at $110,715, or in Avant station wagon body style, at $113,215.
Across the five S4 and S5 bodystyles, there is some variance in performance potential, with the S4 sedan and S5 Coupe topping the performance chart with 0-100km/h boasts of 4.7s, with the S5 Sportback trailing them by 0.1s, the S4 Avant by a further 0.1s and the Cabriolet managing a still-fast 5.1s claim. All are limited to a top speed of 250km/h.
Key S4 and S5 accessories include Nappa leather trim with front sport seats with seat heaters and massage function, a Bang & Olufsen sound system which spreads 755W across a total of 19 speakers, brushed aluminium inlays, head-up display, coloured ambient lighting, tinted windows and metallic paint.
On the inside, there’s a new centre console and bigger 10.1-inch multimedia screen, while the Audi Virtual Cockpit driver instrument display now offers a hockey stick-style rev counter in additional to traditional dial layouts.
The S4 and S5 sport seats are wrapped in fine Nappa leather trim with seat heaters and massage function up front.
