Overall Rating
The recipe behind the 2012 Audi S4 is to derive every best bit about the Audi A4 and make it even more hard-core, performance-oriented, and cleverer than before.
The recipe behind the 2012 Audi S4 is to derive every best bit about the Audi A4 and make it even more hard-core, performance-oriented, and cleverer than before. The ideology behind this car is to wreak havoc in the performance mid-size luxury sedan market.
The Cleanly styled Audi S4 is a master class in how to get the detailing right. The quad pipes below it paired with the S-specific grille in the front will leave you in no doubt that this is an S4 and something more special than your average A4.
We recommend the 3.0 Premium plus trim for its abundant features list and its ultimate performance. It also gets a sunroof for additional driving pleasure during the commute and for a better cabin ambiance. Some other highlight optional features include a Navigation system with voice activation and Distance pacing cruise control.
