Great small sports sedan

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Audi S4

1. Powerful engine 

The 3.0L supercharged six-cylinder engine of the 2015 Audi S4 has an output of 333 hp, with 325 lb-ft of torque for big levels of performance. Whether you choose the available seven-speed S tronic® transmission or the standard six-speed manual, Audi quotes a zero to 60 time of 4.9 seconds. That’s fast for a five-seat sports sedan, and won’t fail to disappoint you when you’re on more exhilarating drives. 

2. All-wheel drive 

With plenty of performance and suspension tuned for handling, the 2015 Audi S4 makes any road trip fun. With Audi’s trademark quattro® all-wheel drive system for improved traction and added confidence on dry or wet roads, the S4 has lots of grip. The available rear sport differential gives even more assurance and performance, actively sending power between the rear wheels for improved cornering ability. Ideal for those solo drives when you’re carving through the canyons. 

3. Discreet appearance 

The 2015 Audi S4 is a high-performance sedan that doesn’t shout too loudly about its power. Based on the latest A4 small luxury sedan, the 2015 S4 shares its handsome and restrained looks with that car, but adds some carefully chosen and restrained sporting flourishes. Aluminum-look body details, a lowered stance, and a set of four exhaust pipes hint at performance. New for 2015 are four fresh paint colors: Daytona Gray Pearl, Florett Silver Metallic, Mythos Black Metallic, and Sepang Blue Pearl. 

4. Upscale interior 

Premium interiors are an Audi specialty and the 2015 S4’s cabin does not disappoint. Sporty yet luxurious, its restrained style is appealing. Obvious nods to its performance include a flat-bottomed steering wheel, full leather or part-leather and simulated suede sports seats, and gray-colored instrument faces. The 2015 Audi S4’s interior is very accommodating with 35.2 inches of rear legroom and luggage space of 12.4 cu-ft. 

5. Special edition model 

Built to celebrate previous models in its back catalog, the 2015 Audi S4 Nogaro Blue special edition stands out with its exterior and interior upgrades. You won’t be able to ignore its Nogaro Blue pearl effect paintwork or its 19-inch double-spoke silver alloy wheels. If the regular S4 is too discreet for you, the cabin of the S4 Nogaro Blue special edition will appeal. There are striking Bright Cobalt Blue Alcantara inlays on the seat faces and door trims, and the aluminum door and dash inserts add even more sporty style.
