Audi has gone with a supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI all-aluminum V6 engine making 333 hp and 325 lb-ft. of torque, enough to propel the nimble sedan to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, all the way up to 155 mph. Transmission choices are a 6-speed manual or 7-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch automated manual, mated to Audi's excellent quattro all-wheel drive system.. Standard features include a leather-and-Alcantara interior with heated front seats, Audi Music Interface with iPod integration and satellite radio, Xenon headlights and LED taillamps, and 18-inch S design alloy wheels. Upgrading to the Prestige package brings standard voice-activated navigation (optional on the base model), a Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, adaptive headlights, keyless entry and start and 19-inch S design wheels. Fuel efficiency is quite good for a car with the S4's sporting credentials at 18 city/27 highway mpg with the 6-speed or 18 city/28 highway with the automated manual.
