Audi S4 (2015-2019) Review and Prices

Despite the obvious sporting inclination of this model it’s the interior that will most likely sway you to buy it – fit, finish and material choice are exemplary and not even the classy Mercedes can match the Audi’s ‘hewn from granite’ feel.

Good news doesn’t end there – there’s decent space for passengers and the boot, though the same size as rivals, is more usable thanks to its square shape, helpful nets and tie-down hooks.

The brand-new 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 powering the S4 is another magnet for praise – moving the S4 around at an alarming pace, while also being capable of 39mpg average fuel economy.

The optional dynamic steering works great and the standard four-wheel drive system is rear-biased for a livelier handling, but a BMW 3 Series is still more fun to drive.

The S4 isn’t cheap, not that the standard equipment list reflects this. LED headlights, 18-inch S alloy wheels, front seats upholstered in leather and Alcantara suede and a flat-bottomed steering wheel are standard, but everything else – from the adaptive suspension to the infotainment system with internet access – is reserved for the options list.

The Audi S4 is the perfect purchase if you want something fast and understated

The Audi S4 is exactly what an S model should be – quick, inconspicuous, spacious and practical, with an interior that’s well built and luxurious. Until the new RS4 comes, this is the most multi-talented Audi saloon you can buy, and is sure to boost Audi’s performance-model sales, which have steadily grown since the launch of the first S model (the S2 Coupe) in 1990.
