What's New
The 2023 Audi A4 model sees few notable changes. Adaptive cruise control is now available on all trims, the Black Optic packages are enhanced with more painted trim pieces and larger wheels, and an upgraded stereo is now standard on the Premium Plus trim.
Choosing Your Audi A4
Audi offers the 2023 A4 sedan, the A4 allroad wagon, and the S4 sport-sedan in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims. Starting Prices range from $40,995 to $61,795.
Inventory on the 2022 model is low which may make ordering a 2023 the easiest option.
Engine Choices
There are three different powertrains offered across the 2023 A4 lineup. All are standard with all-wheel drive and automatic transmissions with paddle shifters. The A4 and A4 allroad are fitted with a seven-speed dual-clutch unit whereas the S4 features an eight-speed with a torque converter. The 45 TFSI powertrain is available for $2,100 to $700 depending on the A4’s selected trim.
Model | Engine Type | Horsepower / Torque | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
A4 40 TFSI | 2.0-liter 4-cyl turbo | 201 hp / 236 lb-ft | 29 mpg |
A4 45 TFSI, allroad | 2.0-liter 4-cyl turbo | 261 hp / 273 lb-ft | 27 mpg (26 for allroad) |
S4 | 3.0-liter V6 turbo | 349 hp / 369 lb-ft | 24 mpg |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The A4 and S4 sedans and allroad wagon seat five and stretch to 187.5 inches in length which nearly matches the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class. Rear passengers are afforded 35.7 inches of legroom and 37.4 inches of headroom which are on par with the rest of the class, as is its 12-cubic foot trunk space. Only Volvo offers a wagon body style to compete with the allroad, however, the Audi’s 24.2 cubic feet of space behind the seats (58.5 cubic feet with the seats folded) are far more than what is offered in the V60.
Safety Features
The A4 is equipped with a basic level of active safety equipment such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. Adaptive cruise control is offered through the Premium trim’s Convenience Package as are blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors. The Premium Plus trim includes those features as standard.
Connectivity
The base A4 features a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and plays sound through a 10-speaker 180-watt sound system. SiriusXM is standard on the Premium Plus trim as is a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen 16-channel sound system.
