2022 Audi A4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Audi A4 is a quiet carryover with no major product changes. Its engines, styling, safety equipment, technology, and trim structure remain essentially unchanged from 2021.
About the 2022 Audi A4
B9.5 generation (2020-2024 facelifted B9); 2022 is the third model year of the refreshed version.
In U.S. form, the A4 is Audi’s compact luxury daily driver: understated styling, standard quattro all-wheel drive, a tidy cabin, and easy-to-live-with tech. It targets shoppers who want a premium sedan that feels secure in bad weather without shouting for attention. The A4 allroad adds wagon cargo space, a slightly raised stance, and light rough-road ability, giving the range a useful alternative to a compact SUV while keeping the same polished Audi road manners.
The 2022 lineup covers two needs: a polished AWD sedan and the raised A4 allroad wagon with extra cargo flexibility and adaptive suspension. Premium Plus trims add a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a top-view camera, while Prestige models focus on extras such as a head-up display, navigation, upgraded headlights, heated rear seats, and Bang & Olufsen audio. The S line 45 TFSI sedans pair the stronger engine setup with sportier styling and suspension.

4.2
2022 Audi A4
(108 reviews)
“The next model up may be worth more with all the additional features. This is just a very basic model, no bells or whistles to it. My Acura had more features even. It is a very comfortable ride however and it out performs others”
“Stereo system under performs and mirrors should fold in. Steering column should be automatic. Camera system is great. Lane sensors should make a noise instead of silent.”
