Here are the differences between Audi A4 and S4: 1. The Audi A4 is the foundation of the S4, with the S4 featuring more power, all-wheel drive, and an upgraded sports suspension. 2. The exterior dimensions of the Audi A4 and S4 differ: (1) The A4's exterior dimensions are 4750X1842X1433mm, with a wheelbase of 2828mm. (2) The S4's exterior dimensions are 4749X1842X1400mm, with a wheelbase of 2831mm. Here is some related information: 1. The S4 comes with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, tire specifications 245/40R18, and can also be equipped with larger 19-inch wheels. 2. The S4's engine, chassis, suspension, gears, and seats are all designed for sportiness, making it cooler, more stylish, and more youthful than the A4.
As a speed-loving performance enthusiast, I've driven the Audi A4 and S4 multiple times. The A4 is very comfortable, with a smooth and quiet four-cylinder engine, and softly tuned suspension, making it ideal for daily commutes and long trips—quiet and fuel-efficient. But the S4 is a different beast altogether. It's equipped with a 3.0T six-cylinder turbocharged engine, nearly doubling the power output from the A4's 190 horsepower to 354 horsepower, and achieving 0-100 km/h in just over 4 seconds. The exhaust roar is exhilarating, the acceleration punchy, and the stiff suspension keeps it planted around corners, with a slightly lower stance for a sportier look. The downsides? Fuel consumption increases by at least 30%, and the price tag is tens of thousands higher. Exterior-wise, the S4 features a honeycomb grille, larger wheels, hidden diffusers, and an interior adorned with an S-badged steering wheel and paddle shifters. In summary, the A4 is a great daily driver, while the S4 is a track-ready hot hatch—your choice depends on how much driving excitement you crave.
