2023 Audi S4 review

1. Potent V6 engine provides strong acceleration 

Under the hood, you get a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine powering every 2023 Audi S4, good for 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This power is transmitted to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission — this combination means it can achieve zero to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds — seriously impressive for a car of this type. Given how the 2023 Audi S4’s subtle and sleek exterior styling doesn’t exactly scream high performance, chances are you’ll end up surprising a lot of people away from the lights in this car — grinning from ear to ear in the process.  

2. Sharp handling  

The fun only continues when you reach a corner, with the 2023 S4 proving to be just as much of a blast in the bends as it is in a straight line. Sports-tuned suspension and fast, sharp steering help with grip and agility, and combined with the all-wheel-drive system, you’ll be excited to get behind the wheel and take the scenic route on every trip. To top it all off, the optional S Sport package adds adaptive suspension and a torque-vectoring rear differential.  

3. Luxurious and well-equipped cabin 

For when you want to just cruise, the 2023 Audi S4 offers a stylish and spacious cabin adorned with luxury features and tech equipment to make even the longest journeys a breeze for you and your passengers. There’s seating for five inside, with 41.3 inches of front seat legroom and 37.4 inches of rear seat legroom — giving plenty of room for everyone to stretch out. As they stretch out, they can also enjoy standard comfort features including tri-zone climate control, leather and microfiber upholstery, a sunroof, and power-adjustable heated front seats.  

4. Smooth and comfortable ride 

It’s easy to think that such dynamic handling and performance must come at the expense of comfort, but the 2023 Audi S4 proves that this doesn’t have to be the case. The standard chassis provides a smooth enough ride, but when you truly want the best of both worlds, the adaptive suspension included in the S Sport package is an essential pick. Dynamic mode firms everything up for spritely driving, while Comfort mode provides a serene driving experience over rough road surfaces.  

5. Lots of driver convenience technologies available 

The 2023 Audi S4’s feature list is stacked from top to bottom, with a particular emphasis on driver convenience technologies across the range. Base Premium models start strong, with forward collision warning and lane departure warning as standard. But for maximum tech features, you want the Premium Plus trim, which adds a raft of features like a blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assistance, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera system. Rounding things off, the Prestige trim includes a fully automated parking system.
