The 2020 Audi S4 is a Near Perfect Sport Sedan For Enthusiasts Looking For a Sleeper

The S4 still has fog lights. They’re integrated into the headlights for better visibility.

[@theredline]

AJ Lee Those are technically not fog lights, Audi calls them all-weather lights. They expand the width of the headlights reach but not necessarily on the lower end which is where fog lights add more light.

[@ajlee6933]

Redline Reviews, you might want to test these once you get one for a few days. I think Audi just calls them “all weather” because it sounds cooler. I think the placement in the headlights works better because the light shines directly in the drivers sight, instead of on the ground.

They are fog lights and you also got alot of the Mercedes options wrong as well.

MrSweeper Manuals don’t pair with the crazy horsepower war going on between manufacturers, but at least you can still find them in sporty, lower powered cars. (Civic Type R, Si; MX-5; WRX, STI; BRZ/86; Wrangler; heck, even Corolla has auto-blip manual) So stick with normal brands, and manuals are still possible. The stupid pissing contest between higher end brands will always go dual-clutch.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Mustang and Camaro and Challenger still offer manuals with 400+ hp V8s.

Don’t feel alone - I’m with you on the joys of a manual. Fortunately, a ‘14 S4 6-speed is keeping me happy. No gps, no flat screens , analog gauges - and he’ll yes to supercharging.

[@vomErsten]

@@AutoEnthusiastJC Manuals are NOT limited because of horsepower. All three of America's muscle/pony cars offer them in their highest powered trims save Ford, but it's not like 526 HP is a slouch either. The BMW M2/3/4 cars still have them at 400+ HP. The previous normal BMW 3- and 4-series still had them at ~360 HP. The Corvette had one all the way up to 750 HP. The lack of manual on these new cars is simply because the people who can afford cars in this price range either have insufficient nostalgia for the manual or are too decrepit to appreciate one. Audis don't sell primarily on their sportiness, they sell primarily by being well-made and comfortable. The sport comes extra.

[@vomErsten]

@Konos44 Was fine in the B8 A4/5 series. Is fine in the 8V A3 series. Audi knows how to make it work, I suspect they thought the smoothness of the 8-speed autobox would be a boon. IMHO, it was a poor choice for the sporty cars. Ironically, it's the 2.0L A-level cars that still have the DCT.

[@TheSdvsz]

The B9 generation Audi cars are disappointing. The prestige models means the car comes fully loaded with all options offered by Audi for that car like in the B8 and B7 generations but now they charge you additionally for the Rear diff so you have to get the Sports Package and to get Dynamic Steering is in another package and the Driver assistances package is also separate. Doing this takes away from having a real Audi Sport experience in its vehicles in my opinion. Lastly do they allow you to lock the doors with the engine running now? This was a HUGE negative for me in my B8 S4

[@andreiprisacaru550]

When I saw that it’s gasoline, I was like: “What in the world?”, then I remembered you guys have mostly gasoline cars. And for who doesn’t know, yes, the Audi S4 in Europe is a Diesel V6 with same horsepower as this gas V6

[@montystevens1949]

We may not see another diesel powered vehicle from Audi here in America again, but I could be wrong. Shame tho, because me and my wife both have 4L Q7 Tdi's, one S line prestige with the adapter air suspension, bang and olufsen etc. and the other in prestige trim with the tech package. We average 635 miles per tank of fuel at the cost of around $58 per fill and they pull like freight trains no matter the load with virtually no loss in mpg. Now as a side note to this review, we also own a B8.5 S4 prestige with the red leather interior package as this one and I must say that after watching this review, I have new car fever once again...lol.

This problem is much less pronounced on their 4 cylinder cars and the power deficit compared to the six cylinder cars is much less than you’d expect.

If you need cooled seats, it's not that you lose the red leather, you lose the sport seats entirely, reverting to the blah pedestrian seats from the A4. You also can't get the sport steering wheel shown here with heat...another choice they force on you. I got the S5 Sportback and it's the biggest problem with this car. For over $60k, having non-perforated non-ventilated leather seats is a huge miss. It is HOT in the summer.

I went for the Alcantara seats which remain nice and cool in the summer without feeling hard in the winter.

The manual B8 and B8.5 retains value much better than the auto. Sad they stopped making the manuals.

[@saauuzza]

In this latest update they added piano black in the centre to get scratched and smudges. Very important update indeed.

[@MC4D.]

The front reminds me of a Hyundai lol... ... I'm aware of the designers Hyundai hired

[@gregkramer5588]

Kind of like the previous gen sonata

[@frankcastle1578]

I think it's more like hyundai looks like this 😂

[@MC4D.]

@Simon no shock, its just funny how one brand is slowing looking like the other. Before you know it the less likely brand, Hyundai, will soon be preferred over Audi lol.

[@jjmandasaur]

whomever edits your videos should probably look to lower the highlights and raise the blacks for those interior shots. it might keep things a bit more normal looking and not so blown out. Production quality!

What is the Doug score?

[@udontknowmeg7254]

Beautiful sedan, 4/10.

[@bkroko]

Why did they abandon the dsg/s-tronic system, I love the dsg on my golf cuz it just shifts instantly

[@rollin0n4z]

S3 looks so much sportier. S4 for the last few years looks like a A3 with the S like package. They play it too safe

[@vomErsten]

And for the price of a lightly optioned S4 you can get an RS3 loaded. I mean, yeah, different size class, but if you drive alone most of the time and really want a sporty Audi, the RS3 is an infinitely superior choice.

[@Big_Red1]

@@vomErsten And with the RS3 you get the amazing soundtrack of the 5 cylinder.

[@GasGuzzlers]

Deffinitely a neat car, will be interesting to see how Audi innovates to keep pace with rapidly improving American luxury brands like Lincoln, Cadillac, Tesla, etc. Great review as always!

[@davraam7595]

This is a very old comment but Audi isn’t trying keeping pace with American manufacturers lol.

[@Pinkpolo85]

You could have told me this was a 2010 and I would have believed it... MEHHH

[@jasonme3557]

I like the older style. The big tablet look is boring

[@AdamS32828]

The ventilated seat/massaging seat functions are mutually exclusive because the massage uses air cushions, which is a lot cheaper than using a mechanical massage, but it makes it impossible to have both from an engineering standpoint.

[@wazgoodjj]

It's a sad day when Kia's lineup makes Audi look so boring and stale.

[@barteetracey]

Kia head designer is from Audi.

[@archie7281]

Only complaint is the “ spoiler “ could’ve used a slightly larger bump to make it a little more spoiler without looking obnoxious

[@wayne1141]

A lot of road noise.

[@DaGoook]

Audi also forces buyers into another either or situation on the heated seating wheel. You can only get it with a round steering wheel, not with the sexier flat bottom one. Sad.

[@RonsmooveTI]

DaGoook Need S line or sport package get the flat bottom on non s or rs models
