Audi A4 Premium, Premium Plus, Prestige & More

Last updated August 4, 2026

Audi A4

On the Audi A4, 2.0T, 40 TFSI Premium, Premium, and Ultra Premium are the entry points. Premium Plus, Titanium Premium, and the Avant and Quattro versions form the everyday sweet spot, with more convenience and driver-awareness technology. The 3.2 Quattro Special Edition is a one-year V6 quattro Cabriolet branch. For newer sedans, 45 and S line 45 versions are the sport-styled branch, with Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige marking equipment steps. Prestige also names the loaded allroad wagon, while 40 Prestige, Ultra Prestige, and the older 3.2 Quattro represent the comfort-first, non-S-line luxury end.

Frequently asked questions

What do 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI mean on an Audi A4?

On newer A4 sedans, 40 and 45 identify two versions of the turbo four-cylinder engine. The 40 is the lower-output, efficiency-minded version. The 45 has the stronger tune and is paired with S line exterior styling in recent years.

What does Premium Plus add over Premium on an Audi A4?

In recent lineups, Premium Plus is the main technology and convenience step. It commonly adds navigation, wireless phone charging, blind-spot monitoring, driver-seat memory, rear USB ports, and keyless entry. Exact equipment varies by year.

What does Prestige add over Premium Plus on an Audi A4?

On later A4s, Prestige is the most equipment-focused trim. The step up centers on richer lighting and cabin technology, with features such as Matrix-design LED headlights and a head-up display on applicable sedans. Equipment still varies by year and body style.

What is the difference between the 40 Premium Plus and S line 45 Premium Plus?

On newer sedans, both have the useful Premium Plus technology package. The S line 45 adds the stronger engine tune and sportier exterior treatment, while the 40 keeps the lower-output, more efficiency-minded setup.

What is the difference between 40 Prestige and S line 45 Prestige?

On newer sedans, both occupy the top equipment tier. The S line 45 Prestige combines that technology and comfort focus with the stronger engine tune and sportier appearance. The 40 Prestige emphasizes a quieter, more comfort-oriented character.

How is an A4 allroad Premium different from an A4 sedan Premium?

In newer lineups, the allroad Premium has a wagon body, more cargo room, a taller stance, and the stronger 45-level engine tune. The 40 TFSI Premium sedan is the traditional four-door entry and uses the lower-output tune.

What does Prestige add over Premium Plus on the A4 allroad?

On later allroads, Prestige turns the practical wagon into the most fully equipped version. Its defining step is richer lighting and comfort technology, including Matrix-design LED headlights with washers, while retaining navigation, wireless charging, and the panoramic roof.

Which Audi A4 trim is the sensible everyday pick?

Premium Plus is usually the balance point in recent lineups. It keeps the A4's everyday comfort while adding the navigation, phone charging, driver-seat memory, and awareness features many used-car shoppers notice regularly.

Which Audi A4 trim should I look for if I drive in snow?

For older A4s, look for Quattro in the name because front-wheel-drive versions also existed. Newer U.S. trims use standard quattro all-wheel drive, so sedan versus allroad and the condition of the tires become the more meaningful distinctions.

Which Audi A4 trims focus most on fuel efficiency?

Older Ultra trims and newer 40 TFSI sedans are the efficiency-minded choices. Ultra models use front-wheel drive and a lower-output turbo engine, while the 40 uses the milder engine tune. Drivetrain details vary by year.

What is an Audi A4 Special Edition?

In this lineup, Special Edition refers to late-run 2009 Cabriolets rather than a modern trim tier. Versions included a front-wheel-drive 2.0T, a 2.0T Quattro, and a V6-powered 3.2 Quattro, all with a power-operated convertible top.

What is the difference between an older A4 3.2 Quattro and 2.0T Quattro?

The 3.2 Quattro uses a naturally aspirated V6 and leans toward smoother power and richer comfort equipment. The 2.0T Quattro uses a turbocharged four-cylinder and represents the core all-wheel-drive A4 formula.

What is the Titanium Premium trim on an Audi A4?

Titanium Premium is a briefly offered front-wheel-drive 40 TFSI sedan positioned between Premium and Premium Plus. It adds dressier 18-inch wheels, blind-spot monitoring, and parking sensors, but lacks the larger digital-display package that defines Premium Plus.

Is an S line 45 TFSI the same thing as an Audi S4?

No. An S line 45 TFSI is still an A4. In newer lineups, it combines the stronger A4 four-cylinder tune with sportier exterior details. The S4 is a separate performance model.
