This is a Motromouth couple car review of the 2023 Audi S4 performance luxury sedan. With quattro AWD and a turbocharged V6, the Audi S4 is a fun ride but also a great daily driver. What’s under the hood of the S4? A 3L turbocharged V6 with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. For 2023, there is only one trim in Canada, the Technik and three in the US. The Technik comes loaded for $64,950 CAD including a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, MMI Navigation Plus, a 12.3” digital driver display, heated steering wheel, heated front sports seats, driver seat memory, Nappa Leather seating surfaces with diamond stitching, Bang and Olufsen 3D sound system and a sunroof. Features like heated rear seats and a head-up display will cost you more.Audi S specific details of the S4 include, a lowered suspension, S bumpers, a rear trunk spoiler and quad tailpipes. You can customize your S4 the way you like by adding different packages/features like our test model which has red brake calipers, 19” 5-arm flag design wheels, performance tires, a matte black grille, black accents, black rings, black side mirrors, tailpipes and spoiler plus sound enhancing exhaust. You will pay extra for sport rear differential, sport adaptive damping suspension and dynamic steering which responds instantly increasing steering precision and speeds up the steering response. In the US, the Audi S4 starts at $52,400 USD, Premium Plus $56,400 USD and Prestige $60,700 USD. The middle trim is the sweet spot, it includes features like the Bang & Olufsen sound system, the 12.3” digital driver display, adaptive cruise control, sunroof and the top view camera. Plus, this trim unlocks packages like black optic plus, S Sport and the warm weather package for ventilated front seats. Unfortunately, in Canada ventilated front seats are not available on the S4.Fuel economy is rated at 11.1L/100 km, 21 MPG city and 8L/100 km, 30 MPG

Just picked up my S4 Premium Plus (USA) in Daytona Gray with Magma Red Nappa. Just spent 3 1/2 years in a 2020 BMW M340 xdrive. Former owner of a 2017 Audi S3. Love the Audis. Love the BMW. Each has their own positives and negatives. Things I might miss in the S4 vs the M340…head-up display, power trunk, factory nav, remote start. Gas mileage was excellent in the M340…S4 may be off a few MPG. No factory MMI navigation in my S4, but the easy integration of Apple CarPlay will suffice for directions using Waze or Apple maps. Thanks for the review!

Great quality and great dealer experience with the service dept.

@adamayliffe9511 Год назад

Great review as always, and what is especially true, and Zack you point out, which very few realize is numbers don't tell the whole story. For me I didn't look at them at all when I was looking at the class. I drove the C43, M340i, G70, even the rs5 sportback. And yes, all had more horsepower then the S4, but as I am a daily person and not a track person, for me the S4 didn't feel any slower than the M340, C43 and G70. All of them I had for a good hour test drive on a mix of highway and city. In fact the G70, even though having more horsepower if you are really into numbers is slightly slower to 60mph than the S4. As for the S4/RS5, again as a daily driver for me there just wasn't enough difference (only 95hp anyway-yes another turbo) to justify the extra money. Keep the great reviews coming.

@vcliburn 10 месяцев назад

To describe the S4/A4 as having a "simplistic" exterior design is unduly pejorative (negative). A better...and fairer...description would be a "classic, understated elegance", like a well-groomed guy wearing a smart, tailored tuxedo...as opposed to wearing a loud, flashy costume that screams for attention.

@hardykornfeld1733 4 месяца назад

I bought a 2018 S4 Prestige with the diff, damper, and steering options. Over 61,000 miles the car has had no unscheduled service visits and it has overaged 30 mpg measured at the pump. After the OEM Continental tires wore out, I switched to Michelin PS4s. In winter, I use aftermarket 18* wheels with Hakkas. This car offers a hard to beat combination of 4-season utility, comfort, efficiency, and decently serious performance when called for. The refresh models lost the wonderful central round tachometer my car has, and the very handy physical radio preset buttons. My gripes are few. The backup camera is awfully dim, but that’s compensated by an excellent overhead view. The throttle and transmission mapping in Comfort can sometimes cause a scary delay in acceleration when that’s suddenly called for by traffic situations. I’ve learned to be proactive, putting it in Dynamic when I anticipate a possible need for speed. My concern now, with retirement in the offing, is that there may be few choices of desirable ICE cars like the RS3 or Giulia QF. We have an EV, so when I retire I’d like something more compelling than the S4 that doesn’t have to be a daily. Sadly, even some of the higher tier cars have worse interiors than the S4. First World problem, I guess.

In Europe, as of 2019, we get the S4 with a diesel, with around 340 horsepower and 516 pound feet of torque. We also get a station wagon S4 in Europe as a diesel. We used to get the gas engine in the S4 B9 before.

@fatih.tavukcu Год назад

There were actually two TDIs available, a 347PS one and a 341PS one. The 347PS was shortlived and the 341PS one seems to have more torque early on. I'm driving the 347PS one and I'm on the second engine... so maybe the 341 is more durable? I mean there has to be a reason why the 347 was only available for like ~8 months. And TDIs simply don't sound good :( At least it has a ton of torque.

Is the S4 considered a subcompact like the S3? The S5 is definitely compact. The S4 probably holds an in-between segment spot like the CT4-v!

@ericsmith2869 6 месяцев назад

Audis s class are a slot before high performance moddels from amg or M. Their RS models are aimed to compete with M and Amg. Unfortunately they're not usually available in the first model year. However S only stands for top luxury, a slot before top performance.

@yellowboxster06 Год назад

I had a 2012 S4. I sold my 2006 Boxster to buy this car. That was the biggest mistake of my car buying experiences ever. On my first recall for engine issues I decided my experience with Audi was going to be my last. Your PSA resonated with me.

@vcliburn 10 месяцев назад

The Audi S4 is a great blend of luxury, comfort, and performance...especially when compared to competitors like the BMW 3 series and the Mercedes C-Class. You said that you had an Audi A7 for four years. What happened to it, and why did you get rid of it? Did you own or lease your A7? And then there's the question of long-term reliability and dependability over time. How well does the A4/S4 hold-up after years of driving and high mileage? For example, everyone knows that cars like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry last virtually "forever"...with low maintenance costs and very few mechanical problems...if any. And the same thing applies to Acura and Lexus, their respective luxury brands. So again, how does Audi hold up over time and extended mileage...AFTER the basic 4-year/50K mile warranty expires???

@bassandtrebleclef Год назад

Even though this is an older interior, it looks better than the blobs of screens in new Audis. Still, the mid trim Premium Plus in the US is $58.5k. This is a terrible value. After TT&L, this small Audi is 65k. Not seeing it.

Why? to put the parts in as they fall off going down the road. Great driving cars, but they literally fall apart. True Story. Driving to Santa Pod for a car meet, stopped at a junction for a light. Foot on the clutch, foot on the brake. Light changes, went to put it in first, the fk@ng gear lever had vanished like a magic trick. Cars now up my arse honking, handbrake on, car stalls out. I get out and look underneath, only to find the entire gear linkage lying on the ground!!

Don't get me wrong, I think this car is an excellent daily driver with a lot of sporty nature but it just doesn't excite me anymore. I also think it's priced too high at $65K and probably as tested in the low $70Ks. Coming from an GLI that is half the cost of this vehicle, I don't feel like this car is twice the car for the money.
