Overview

The 2016 Audi S4 Sedan makes an excellent contender in the compact sedan class. With two trims on offer, the 2016 Audi S4 Sedan has a base MSRP of $49,200 competing directly with the BMW 3 Series 340i sedan, Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43, and the Cadillac ATS 3.6. Only a 3.0L supercharged V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission while there is an optional 7-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, the Audi S4 Sedan maintains a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Audi offers the S4 Sedan in more than 16 stunning colors, with the Brilliant Red being our particular favorite.

Buying Advice

In spite of the top trim Prestige's allure, we recommend sticking with the base premium plus trim and adding the Driver Assist package for a more confident drive. This includes a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, a blind-spot monitor, etc for an additional $4,000.
