2019 Audi S4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2019 Audi S4 is a new entry-level Premium trim. This is otherwise a light-update year, with the same turbocharged V6, eight-speed automatic, standard quattro all-wheel drive, and basic design as before.
About the 2019 Audi S4
Fifth-generation S4 (B9), second U.S. model year and last year before the 2020 refresh.
Audi presents the S4 as a sport sedan that blends speed with everyday polish rather than raw drama. The brochure leans on the idea of playing the line between sport and luxury, pairing a strong turbo V6 and standard AWD with a quiet, high-quality cabin, supportive sport seats, and understated styling. For most shoppers, the S4’s appeal is that it feels fast, secure, and premium on a daily drive as well as on a back road.
The new Premium serves as the essential S4, pairing its 354-hp turbo V6 and all-wheel drive with heated sport seats, LED headlights, and a 7-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Premium Plus adds a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, built-in navigation, and wireless phone charging. Prestige focuses on comfort and driver assistance with a head-up display, 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance.

“Backup camera is terrible, often wet/obscured. Car has wireless charging but can not do Car Play over Bluetooth. Fuel economy may be worse than listed. MMI interface is AMAZING but Audi phone app seems at bit of a cross roads as far as supporting new technology.”
