“It may be lower than you're used to. The seats are very comfortable, as is the cockpit in general. I wish there was a little more room in the center console for storage. Interior lighting is very attractive, with many thoughtful comfort features. Folding mirrors are a real asset with parking lots. Fun to drive.”
2023 Audi A4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2023 Audi A4 is standard LED headlights with a distinctive daytime-running-light signature across the sedan and allroad wagon ranges. Premium Plus trims also gain standard Bang & Olufsen audio, but the powertrains, chassis, and basic cabin design carry over.
About the 2023 Audi A4
Fifth generation (B9), fourth model year after the 2020 exterior and technology update; a late-cycle year rather than a redesign.
Audi positions the A4 as a compact luxury car that balances everyday comfort, understated design, useful technology, and secure AWD road manners. The sedan emphasizes quiet, composed transportation with an easy-to-use cabin, while the allroad adds wagon cargo space, extra ground clearance, and an adaptive suspension for rough roads. Across both body styles, the A4’s main distinction is its blend of car-like handling, standard AWD, and practical everyday usability.
The 2023 A4 lineup ranges from the comfortable 40 TFSI sedan to the stronger S line 45 with a lowered sport suspension, plus the cargo-friendly allroad wagon with adaptive suspension. Every version has AWD and a seven-speed automatic, while upper trims add features such as a digital instrument display, adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and ventilated front seats.

2023 Audi A4
(142 reviews)
“I wish the front seating was a little more comfortable and personally I need room for my left leg and a foot rest. And also redesign center console, where cupholders are not so close to the instrument panel.”
“I absolutely love this brand but I don't understand why it doesn't have an autostart.”
