2012 Audi S4 Sedan 3.0L V6 TFSI 6MT AWD (333 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Since the world financial crisis was over, the German automaker Audi dared to launch a refreshed version of the entire ninth-generation A4 lineup in 2012, including the S4 version.

When the B8 Audi was introduced, the world struggled with a financial crisis that affected all carmakers. In addition, a few brands had to close the gates or were sold for pennies by their respective owners. Audi, on the other hand, managed to create the S4 as an alternative for premium sport compact sedans and station wagons, but it had to cut some corners. Thus, in 2012, it came with a refreshed and updated version.

With a completely rejuvenated front fascia, the car boasted wave-shaped headlights that featured LED daytime running lights and Xenon main headlamps. Also, the S4 sported a different front bumper than the rest of the A4 range, with wider side scoops on the apron and a massive, single-frame grille adorned with chromed slats. From its profile, the 18” light-alloy wheels were fitted as standard.

Inside, the high-bolstered bucket seats adorned with the S4 logo on their seatbacks and integrated headrests were a treat for its customers. Furthermore, the flat-bottom steering wheel created an even sportier atmosphere in the cabin. At the back, the bench was profiled for two, albeit it was fitted with three headrests and a 60/40 split-folding seatback.

Under the hood was the same supercharged three-liter V6 carried over from its predecessor sending its power in all corners via a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic.
