In this instance,
fi rst impressions are accurate.
If the bold, assertive stance of the Audi A4 looks familiar, it should. Like every
model in the family, the A4 shares the distinctive Audi DNA not just in performance,
but also design. From the sweeping hood and the provocative available long-life LED
daytime running lights bracketing the singleframe® grille, to the luminous available
LED taillights integrated into the deck-lid on the sedan, the Audi A4 embodies a
commitment to progressive design, luxury and performance.

A fi rm belief that the driver
should get preferential treatment.
The impeccably crafted, driver-oriented cockpit represents a dedication to performance and
luxury. The experience begins with the fi ne craftsmanship of the standard leather seats
and the radiance of the decorative Aluminum Hologram inlays. Angled slightly toward
the driver, the A4 cockpit places a host of intuitive technology at the driver’s fi ngertips.
From the multifunction steering wheel and driver information system, to the latest
generation of MMI®, important details and entertainment options are always within reach.

It does a lot of things quickly, including
reminding you of why you like to drive.
However you judge engine performance, the Audi A4, with the award-winning 2.0 liter
TFSI®, delivers. Thanks to quattro® all-wheel drive, 258 lb-ft. of torque and 211 hp,
the A4 yields exceptional power. Not to mention, a best-in-class 0-60 MPH time of
6.4 seconds. In fact, the 2.0 liter turbocharged engine delivers power that outperforms
most of the competition’s six-cylinder engines. Plus, with a standout 30 MPG, the A4
adds best-in-class in fuel economy* to its impressive list of feats.
* EPA estimate: 23 /30 city/highway MPG. Your mileage will vary.

The design is pure progress.
Beautifully proportioned, the A4 is designed to emanate not just distinction,
but also poise. Starting with the elegant roofl ine and sculpted contours, the
A4 marks an unwavering testament to progressive style. Its pronounced design
is also a result of the wheel placement. By positioning the wheels closer to the
corners of the car, the A4 yields a wider, sportier stance, adding to its striking
symmetry. Add the available 18" or 19" wheels and the ultimate package of
style and sophistication is complete.

There is room for everything
but compromise.
Inside and out, the A4 Avant fl uidly integrates sophistication with utility. This is
affi rmed the moment the available powerful LED daytime running lights spring to life.
In the front, the distinctive singleframe® grille marks the Avant as pure Audi. Overhead,
the chrome roofrails, sweeping roofl ine and sporty rear spoiler gracefully cascade to a
tailgate that off ers surprising functionality without diminishing any of its luxury
or performance.

Luxury that knows how to multitask.
The A4 Avant is extremely adept at fulfi lling a number of roles eff ortlessly. Regardless
of what they are, you can be certain luxury, comfort and thoughtful innovation are always
part of the experience. For instance, the A4 Avant features numerous functionality
aspects, including 60/40 split folding rear seats and a multipurpose luggage cover,
which can be used as a partition to maximize versatility. As for passengers in the back
seat, they can enjoy considerable leg room, while everyone gets to experience the
standard Open Sky panorama sunroof.

It does more in a single turn
than most cars do in a lifetime.
The Audi A4 features the latest version of quattro® all-wheel drive that off ers
a rear torque bias of 40:60. It gives the A4 sportscar-like handling with the
confi dence of all-wheel drive traction.
Additionally, the available Audi drive select enhances handling performance
by off ering 27 distinct driving confi gurations, which provide a balance between
performance and comfort driving. Audi drive select manages the adaptive
suspension, dynamic steering, transmission shift characteristics and throttle
response according to the driver’s choice of Comfort, Automatic, Dynamic
or Individual settings. Combine all of that with the innovative Servotronic
speed-sensitive steering and you have a driving experience that is truly exclusive.

Its innovative technology
reveals itself around every corner.
As progressive as the A4 looks on the exterior, it is no less so once you slide behind
the wheel. With the use of MMI® control logic, the driver can access everything from
the available 3D navigation, to satellite radio, to an iPod® with the Audi music interface
and a Bluetooth®-enabled phone. Additional convenience comes from the multifunction
steering wheel and available voice control, which means your hands can stay safely
on the wheel.
Innovative technologies like available Audi side assist help keep you out of harm’s way by
warning you of rapidly approaching vehicles from the rear as well as alerting you to vehicles
that may be in your blind spot. The available Audi adaptive cruise control also keeps an eye
out by ensuring the driver is aware of vehicles ahead. You will experience an initial warning,
and if necessary, the system will even begin to slow the A4 to help avoid a collision.
Audi A4 2.0 T Premium Plus

Making the unpredictable uneventful.
By examining the causes and eff ects of accidents, Audi has developed a number of systems
designed to help prevent an accident in the fi rst place. For example, the A4 features an
automatic brake disc wiping system as part of the Electronic Stabilization Program [ESP®].
By gently pulsing the brakes to dissipate water buildup, the system helps the brake discs
stay as dry as possible. Simply put: Minimize what is between the pad and the disc, and your
braking eff ectiveness increases signifi cantly.
But when an accident does prove unavoidable, the A4 steps up to deliver state-of-the-art
protection by way of a high-strength-steel body and a standard complement of six airbags*,
including front, side and side-curtain airbags.
*Airbags are sup plemental restraints only an d do not deploy in all c rash circumstances. Always us e safety belts and seat ch ildren in the rear, using restraint sy stems appropriate for thei r size and age.
This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in an accident. All bags will not infl ate in real-world accidents, and if multiple bags deploy, they will be in various stages of infl ating/defl ating and will never all be infl ated at the same time.

Surpasses everything.
Especially your expectations.
When it comes to the Audi S4, nothing is left to chance. It is purposeful and
powerful, and it turns heads – moving or parked. There are numerous design
cues to back up its legendary performance. Among them are the striking
Aluminum Optic mirrors, quad exhaust tailpipes, standard 18" wheels and
exclusive S4 front and rear bumpers. Just a few indications of the power
that lies beneath the hood.
Audi S4 P remium Plus
Page 12
Everything is at your fi ngertips,
including innovation.
The Audi S4 incorporates as much innovation as it does performance. For starters,
the S4 features the intuitive MMI® operating system, allowing you to easily integrate
your Bluetooth®-enabled phone, enjoy SIRIUS® Satellite Radio and take advantage
of the convenience of navigation with real-time traffi c.
With Audi advanced key, the S4 can be unlocked and started without removing the
key from a pocket or purse. Enter the car and the steering wheel is released and
the ignition is turned on with the press of a button – all without inserting the key
into the ignition.

of torque, the last thing you want to do is spend time between gears. The new seven-speed
S tronic® dual-clutch automatic transmission delivers on-the-spot gear changes, which is
especially exhilarating during the 4.9 seconds it takes to reach 60 MPH.
Perhaps most impressive, the S4 delivers all of its exceptional power and performance
without compromising fuel economy. The 3.0 liter supercharged V6 delivers V8 power
with remarkable fuel effi ciency*.

This is where it becomes visceral.
If the standard for pure performance is the Audi S4, then the latest version of quattro®
all-wheel drive with available Sport Rear Diff erential is the pinnacle. Alongside the
performance-oriented feel of the 40:60 rear-biased torque split, handling is further
improved due to the variable torque distribution between the rear wheels. The result
is exactly what you expect: Performance car handling and incomparable traction.
The handling experience is further enhanced through the innovative Servotronic®
speed-sensitive steering. The premise is simple. As speed increases, the steering
becomes more responsive for superior handling. While driving at slower speeds,
Servotronic® provides greater steering assistance, allowing you to easily park and
maneuver in tight places.

Enhancing the
experience of performance.
There is no mistaking the superior fi t and fi nish of an Audi S4 interior.
The unique hand-stitched S design sport seats in available Silk Nappa
leather off er a distinct driving experience as well as an unmistakable
look. The prominent side bolsters and integrated headrests have been
specifi cally designed to support you during spirited driving.

The sum of inspired engineering.
The unmistakable power of the Audi S4 is the result of not just innovation,
but also the pedigree of legendary Audi performance. The new S4 continues this
tradition with a series of features that change not just how you see the road,
but also how you experience it. From the unmistakable deep, rousing sound
of the powerful yet effi cient supercharged V6 to the lightning-fast, seven-speed
S tronic® transmission and the supreme confi dence of quattro® all-wheel drive
traction with Sport Rear Diff erential, the S4 delivers on a legacy of performance
like never before.

Four driven wheels are a part of what drives our progress.
Nearly 30 years ago, the notion of a car with permanent four-wheel drive was revolutionary. Audi called it quattro®
and its benefits would set a new benchmark for driver confidence and performance. The simple, yet profound result
of sending power to all wheels means that snow-covered mountain passes, rain-slicked highways and gravel-strewn
rural roads are no longer encountered with apprehension. While on smooth dry roads, quattro® oers a level of
performance unachievable by two-wheel drive cars.
The advantage of all-wheel drive was most apparent when Audi introduced quattro® to the World Rally Championship.
quattro® seemed to defy physics with startling acceleration and remarkable traction. The result was an astounding
24 wins and a number of World Championships. If that wasn’t enough of an endorsement for quattro®, it was later
deemed an “unfair advantage” and banned from road racing altogether after repeatedly dominating the field.
Today, in that same competitive spirit, quattro® all-wheel drive continues to be refined. In Audi vehicles with a longitudinal
engine configuration, quattro® is essentially a mechanical system with a self-locking center dierential and continuously
variable torque distribution. quattro® instantly responds to wheel speed differences and dynamically adjusts power to the
wheels with the best traction. It is supported by advanced electronic control systems that together offer numerous benefits
over other all-wheel drive systems. Featuring a 40:60 rear torque bias, the latest version of quattro® oers sportscar-like
performance and handling with uncompromised all-wheel drive traction.
The power of quattro® is its ability to inspire driver confidence,
giving you traction when you need it, where you need it, regardless of road conditions.

Together the future is ours.
August Horch founded this company on one word: Progress. Back in 1909.
To us, it is taking what seems undoable and then doing it. It is discovering what no one else has bothered to discover.
It is turning skeptics into believers, and it is taking the thinking that wins on the racetrack and putting it on the road.
Relentlessly designing, innovating, engineering and racing for the past 100 years have yielded amazing progress in our
quest for the Truth. And although the Truth is absolute, it’s in a constant state of motion always revealing new limits
and opportunities. For instance, what seemed improbable has become the standard as we have created a diesel engine
so quiet, so clean, so ecient and so powerful we put it to the ultimate test competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans…
winning three years in a row. But aside from walking away with trophies, we walked away with a deeper understanding
of what to engineer into our cars for the street. The remarkable capabilities of TDI® clean diesel power, the all-wheel drive
confidence of quattro®, and the increased power and eciency of FSI® are but a few of those strands of DNA that have
brought us that much closer to the Truth.
And it is that quest for the Truth that is behind every pencil line we draw, every calculation we make and every idea
we deem not good enough. And although they may prove to be remarkable achievements in their own right, they
represent a greater commitment to what is most important: Truth in Engineering.
