“Very comfortable, quiet, and so far dependable car that has plenty of speed and pickup for my simple life. I need something that will get me back and forth to the mountains - skiing, camping, etc. and will be safe in the snow and comfortable on the highway for longer road trips. It does all of that and has a nice sound system and some nice little features as well.”
2014 Audi A4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2014 Audi A4
4th-generation Audi A4 (B8.5 facelift), second model year after the 2013 refresh.
Audi presents the A4 as the heart of its brand: a compact luxury sedan that mixes clean design, a polished cabin, strong everyday comfort, and useful performance from a small turbo engine. Its draw is balance rather than excess. Compared with rivals, the A4 leans on interior quality, understated styling, and available quattro all-wheel drive for four-season confidence, making it a premium daily driver first and a sport sedan second.
Premium is the straightforward luxury trim, with leather seating, a sunroof, power front seats, and built-in phone and media connectivity. Premium Plus adds xenon headlights, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, and keyless entry, while Prestige tops the range with navigation, upgraded audio, blind-spot monitoring, and a rearview camera with parking sensors.

“This model is great but you must be very aware of the infotainment system if you value audio. This model did not have any of the modern features we have become accustomed to in regards to bluetooth technology and playing music. In fact, I think I got a bad audio system as it sounds static-y.”
