How does the fuel economy compare to competitors?

The 2016-Present Audi S4 achieves an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. This is competitive with rivals like the BMW 340i and Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, which offer similar performance but slightly lower fuel efficiency due to differences in engine tuning and drivetrain configurations.

Q5

What are the recommended maintenance intervals?

Audi recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Additional maintenance includes tire rotation every 5,000 miles, brake fluid replacement every 2 years, and air filter replacement every 20,000 miles. For detailed schedules, refer to the owner's manual or consult an authorized Audi service center.

The Audi S4 offers a range of standard and optional features, including a 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit display, MMI touch infotainment system with navigation, Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, and Nappa leather seats. Optional upgrades include adaptive air suspension, sport differential, and a carbon fiber interior trim package.

Q7

How does the cargo and passenger space compare to competitors?

The Audi S4 provides 12.0 cubic feet of trunk space, which is slightly less than some competitors like the BMW 3 Series but sufficient for everyday use. Passenger space is generous, with 41.3 inches of front legroom and 35.0 inches of rear legroom, offering comfort for both front and rear passengers.

Q8

What are the towing and payload capacities?

The Audi S4 is not rated for towing due to its high-performance nature and focus on driving dynamics. The payload capacity is approximately 950 pounds, which includes passengers and cargo. For towing needs, consider Audi's SUV lineup, such as the Q5 or Q7.
