What are the exterior differences between the A4L and S4?
1 Answers
Here are the specific differences: Exterior differences: The Audi S4 model is an upgraded version based on the standard Audi A4. In terms of appearance, the S4 inherits the design language of the A4L, featuring Audi's latest family-style design with matrix LED headlights. The body side lines are relatively smooth, while the S4 incorporates numerous sporty elements such as large-sized alloy wheels, red brake calipers, and a black front grille. The rear features LED taillights, and the exhaust system follows Audi's S-series design with a quad-tailpipe layout, giving it an overall sporty feel. Key details include the S4's signature "silver mirrors" (a hallmark of Audi's sport series), with some special editions using carbon fiber mirrors—neither of which is available on the standard A4L. The S4 also bears an "S4" logo on the front grille and features larger front air intakes. Some special editions even come with darkened headlight clusters. Engine differences: The Audi A4L offers two engine options: a 1.4T and a 2.0T four-cylinder, with horsepower ranging between 150-190. In contrast, the S4, as the sportier variant of the A4L, is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine producing 354 horsepower. The difference between a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder engine directly results in a significant performance gap between the A4L and S4.
