Model Preview
In 2017, the Audi S4 underwent a full redesign, which was a more evolutionary update than a complete reworking of this luxury sedan. This update did, however, include a fully revamped interior with new technology, a more powerful 3.0-liter engine, and more. It then received a light stylistic refresh in 2020. With its redesign and refresh still relatively fresh, the 2024 Audi S4 will receive only mild updates and remain mostly a carryover.
On the outside, the 2024 Audi S4 will retain the design it's had since the 2020 refresh overhaul. The only changes of note to the 2024 S4's exterior are two new colors, as Arkona White and Progressive Red metallic replace Ibis White and Tango Red metallic.
The 2024 S4's interior will also remain visually unchanged from the previous model year. That said, digging deeper into the S4's updated equipment, you'll find a few small changes, including a standard heated steering wheel with hands-on detection, new traffic sign recognition in the optional navigation system, and a six-month Audi Connect PLUS trial.
Under its hood, the 2024 Audi S4 will continue with the same 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine. This power plant will push 349 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission and out to all four wheels via standard Quattro all-wheel drive. Reaching 60 mph will take 4.4 seconds, and the top speed checks in at 155 mph.
The IIHS has not tested the Audi S4, but it has tested its lower-performing sibling, the 2023 A4. The 2023 Audi A4 was an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ -- the institute's highest honor -- thanks to "Good" crash test ratings across the board, "Superior"-rated vehicle-to-vehicle front-crash prevention and vehicle-to-pedestrian front-collision avoidance. The IIHS has since updated its side crash tests, and many models have seen this drag down their ratings. Stay tuned for official IIHS ratings on the 2024 A4.
Speaking of safety, the 2024 Audi S4 will gain a host of newly standard safety and driver-assist technology, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and Parking system plus.
