Reflecting on what
matters most to us.
In so many ways, it’s really all connected. How an Audi vehicle is engineered and designed isn’t simply a matter
of physics or architecture, it’s a systematic compilation of disparate disciplines and ideas, forged into something iconic, sophisticated and powerful. What you feel behind the wheel is, in so many ways, a product of the
knowledge and imagination of human history. The principles of Newtonian laws, sure — but also the grace of
choreography, time-honored artisanal craftsmanship and the connectivity of modern life. The end result of
these inspirations is your Audi — a thing meaningful, intuitive and strong. We employ the sum of our skills and
understanding to reflect something that goes deeper than our machines.
Doesn’t just attract attention. Holds it.

A4 S4
The A4 and S4 exemplify the point where passion-
ate design and exhilarating performance connect
to create an unrivaled driving experience.
Sometimes, the subtlest statements make the most noise. The boldly sophisticated
Audi A4 and dynamic Audi S4 will undoubtedly capture the attention of
onlookers—and hold it. Strong, modern lines stretch proportionally across the
vehicle, creating a design language that aligns with our progressive thinking.
Superior craftsmanship is demonstrated by a number of available packages,
which showcase our commitment to creating beautifully engineered vehicles
inside and out. So, while we may not have designed these vehicles specifically to
grab attention, it is certain they will provoke emotion, and possibly jealousy, in
all those who pass by.

The irrepressible
actuality of light.
↘

Light is a wave and an energy. It’s also a feeling. And an inspiration. Light is a physical manifestation and a spiritual metaphor. For Audi designers, light represents the soul of automotiv e design.
We use it to give lines context, add a shimmering allure, or give shapes a visual texture or depth.
In the sun or on a city street, the vehicle becomes luminescent, a seductive, ever-shifting configuration of energy itself, expressed in the brilliance of each design line.

All eyes on every line.
Some lines are so engaging that you can’t help but take a second (or third) look. The Audi A4 exceeds any
perception of what a luxury performance vehicle should look like. The first engaging line you will see is the
Tornado line— the dynamic crease that runs along the length of the body— that gives the vehicle its elegant,
modern presence. If you want your A4 to pack an even bigger visual punch, consider the available S line®
competition plus package. This compelling package has S line competition plus front and rear bumpers that
add to the already wide, aggressive stance of the A4. The Gloss Black Singleframe® grille, as well as 3D intakes
within the lower front bumper and a sleek rear lip spoiler, further complement the design language. And 19"
Audi Sport® 10-Y-spoke design wheels with a Gloss Black finish and summer performance tires1help accentuate
the vehicle's muscular look in a way that is exceptionally Audi. The A4 is for lovers of detailed design, so we
sought to create a vehicle that would inspire you on a deeper level with each meticulously crafted line.

The virtues of
sculpted brilliance.
The Audi A4 evokes emotion with inspiring design and impressive features. Bold design
lines are visible from every angle, from the corner of the headlights to the rear of the
vehicle. Impressive details like the integrated rear lip spoiler and the striking look of the
daytime running lights and LED taillights add to the brilliance of the A4, further illustrating
everything Audi design stands for.
Xenon plus headlights
Producing a large light arc with a color similar to
daylight’s, xenon plus headlights not only help
with the early recognition of obstacles in front of
the vehicle, but also add a touch of brilliance to
nighttime excursions.
LED lighting elements
LED taillights with rear fog lights add superior
lighting performance to the dynamic rear design.
The LED turn indicator lights integrated into the
exterior side mirror housings add a distinguishing
element that you could say radiates pure Audi
uniqueness.

Automatic headlights with self-cleaning
lenses on the A4 help the driver by providing
clear and precise illumination.
When driving during cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions, ensure that your vehicle is equipped with appropriate all-season or winter weather tires. Even with
appropriate tires, you must always drive in a manner appropriate for the weather, visibility and road conditions.

Indulging in control.
We believe that each meticulously crafted design element should have an equally precise function.
The Audi A4 was designed not just for the drive, but for the driver. Every control you need is right at
your fingertips, helping you navigate your commute with ease. Our driver-centric cockpit is another
way we are helping to ensure that you’re operating the vehicle’s technology with the same precision
that our vehicles perform with on the road. Inside, beautifully appointed interiors, decorative inlays
and standard leather seating surfaces add more than a touch of luxury to your performance vehicle.
When you sit in the cockpit of the A4, you will feel our absolute commitment to exquisitely functional
design that will help inspire your every adventure.

The intuitive layout of the A4 cockpit is plain to
see with every dial and switch within easy reach.
Decorative interior inlays
With aluminum inlays or your choice of available beautiful
wood or Piano Black inlays, you will find unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to design throughout the interior.
We use only the finest materials inside the cabin to
accentuate luxury and sport.

A detailed story of
dedicated obsession.
As we see it, a well-crafted story is more than just a series of compelling lines, it’s a
finely tuned collection of elements expertly created to stimulate each of your senses.
To help achieve this, our engineers and designers collaborate to add innovative thinking
to design concepts, creating beautiful pieces of functional, mobile art. Behind each
stitch and decorative inlay is an intention to create an unmistakable look and feel. And
since you deserve the best, aluminum accents and fine woods are added to further
embellish the beauty of your Audi. Every click of a button, turn of a dial or shift of the
gear selector helps you further engage with this design story and, more importantly,
solidifies the connection between you and your Audi.
Aluminum look
Beautifully crafted Aluminum-optic trim elements
add a sophisticated modernity to an already regal
interior. These include the MMI® function buttons,
power seat and power door controls.
Split folding rear seatbacks
With up to 12.4 cu ft of cargo space in the Audi A4
with the rear seatbacks in the up position and 34.0
cu ft of cargo space when folded, the A4 is a capable
carrier. With split folding 60/40 rear seatbacks and
a ski pass-through, it’s proof that a sedan can be
perfectly equipped for sporty adventures.
The spacious, luxurious rear seats with standard
leather seating surfaces on the A4 creates a mobile
sanctuary for backseat passengers.

A showcase of our driving
desire for superior engineering.
Producing more power from smaller engines has been a “right-sizing” philosophy of ours for quite some
time, something you’ll soon realize when you experience the dynamic performance of the turbocharged
2.0-liter TFSI® engine. And with an advanced transmission and the road-gripping capability of available
quattro® all-wheel drive applying all that power to the ground, it will feel as good as its engineering suggests.

Six-speed manual transmission
For drivers who crave engaging and dynamic

vintage Audi finesse. Its short throw and precise

performance on the road.
Eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission
As the perfect compromise between a dedicated
manual and an automatic gearbox, the eight-speed

cruising at highway speeds.
