“Sporty conservative looks with a fun ride out of a practical daily driver. Interior quality is high, would prefer integrated display for navigation and controls and less piano black plastic.”
2022 Audi S4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2022 Audi S4 is standard Carbon Atlas interior trim across all three trims. Otherwise, this is a light update with no major changes to the engine, safety features, technology, structure, or exterior styling.
About the 2022 Audi S4
5th-generation A4/S4 family (2018-2023 U.S. S4 sedan), after the 2020 styling and cabin update; 2022 sits in the later part of that generation.
Audi positions the S4 as the everyday performance version of the A4: a compact luxury sedan with strong V6 power, standard quattro AWD, and a polished cabin rather than an aggressive, track-first personality. Its appeal is the mix of quick acceleration, all-weather confidence, subtle styling, and daily-driver comfort. Against rivals, the S4 leans toward understatement and easy livability as much as outright pace.
The 2022 S4 is an understated sport sedan with a 349-hp turbocharged V6, an eight-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive. Premium covers the performance essentials, Premium Plus adds a 12.3-inch digital instrument display and more driver assistance, and Prestige focuses on cabin comfort and technology with a head-up display, navigation, and quieter front side glass.
