Got my A4 45 about three months ago. Absolutely impressed with this car. Put it in sport/dynamic mode at a red light and the thing just takes off. It’s a pleasure to drive. Great in the snow too.
Same. I haven’t stopped smiling driving my 2021 S4! High performance, comfort/luxury, and fairly versatile for a sedan. I’m losing my hearing with Bang and Olufsen!
100% Picked mine up last November after a 5 month wait but oh boy was it worth it. It’s definitely more on the ‘sleeper’ side as I have had many encounters with other vehicles ‘testing’ the S4’s abilities.
Nice comparison. For my first Audi, I got the A4 45 PM+ with BOP+ Pkg. Other than getting tinted windows, I'm planning to keep it stock. Very happy with it.
I have a 2021 with the mild hybrid. I find that system really helps. To be fair I am not getting exceptional economy. However, for the performance and 0-60 times I am impressed.
@@1004pjy We get far better with our '20 A4 45 but live mid Vancouver Island so not a lot of big city driving. Using a heavy foot really drops the economy as well.
I got an ibis white A4 45 6 months ago and I love it! Perfect interior and the handling especially in rain is insane. I had a q50 before but that 4 cylinder is relentless I don’t miss the v6tt
I like the Audi videos. I personally think that anybody considering a A4 to start with the 45series. It’s speed always delivers. I know the S4 sounds more visceral, but driving something that goes from 0-60 in five seconds will definitely surprise you if don’t have the experience of something that fast. Would imagine the insurance being lower as well. I have a 2019 A5 Sportback Prestige with the sport package and it’s a weapon in the majority of situations.
Good points. Surprisingly enough I checked insurance and atleast in my case the 2018 S5 SB would’ve been about $10/month cheaper than my A5…strange how these things work
@@sasothestrategizer I’ve got the 2018 A5 sportback though. Insurance prices depends on so many factors but yea it doesn’t make sense that the sportier s5 is cheaper to insure but atleast for my case it is lol
I am on year 6 with my 2018 A4 MT6, sport suspension and seats. I would have probably gone for an S4 if I could have a manual. I have no complaints, though, it has plenty of power and handles pretty sharp. I keep it in dynamic all the time.
I just bought the 23 A4 45 S line premium plus at dealer invoice. With a JB4 (incoming) on map 5 w/ E40 it should pull a stock S4 no problem. Save yourself 8-10k and the EA888 makes more low end torque for everyday driving and way better mpg’s.
Just some info: the 40 and 45 don’t have the same engine, they’re different in the mechanics, not just software (tune) as youtubers advise… there’s a complete pdf describing the differences between them
We have a 2020 A4 with sport suspension, wheels etc (S-Line in Canada) great car but my 2021 VW GTI's steering is so much more precise. The 245-35 19" tires and very expensive Audi Sport wheels do not like any imperfections on the road surface, We will likely get a new 2024 A4 45 and will try to get all the sport options but will stay with 18" wheels for real world driving, we have good roads here on the West Coast, If I was living in the rust belt I would definitely stay away from the 35 series tires. Good test, well done.
You noticed that too. Of both A4 S-lines I’ve driven in the past couple years, both definitely liked to “hunt around” while on-center. Found myself unable to relax while cruising straight at interstate speeds because always needed constant minor steering inputs….even with the tires, pressures, and alignments checked. Perplexing to say the least. 🫤
@@luckyblack00 Maybe try inflating your tires a bit? We had a "clicking" coming from somewhere under the dash we thought, turned out to be both front wheel bearings were faulty, we had them replaced under warranty, apparently not too rare, at least on our 2020 S-Line and as well on Q5s.

I have 2019 a4 45 I love when you put your in it and gforses push you head to head rest like my cousins old Cameron but a hell of a lot smoother Ride on all levels
Got the 45 and it’s the best daily driver one could ask for. Has enough power when you need it but lets be real, your only going as fast as the guy in front of you on public roads in any place most people live.
I got A5. S5 was $10k more, RS5 was $20k more. I have a tune on mine and on my 1st run in wet weather on AS tires I got 0-60 in 4.5 sec. S-Line sport suspension is very nice too, even on shitty roads that we have here its near perfect for me. My guess is that 2.0t is also more reliabile and easier to service. My buddy has 2006 A4 with around 250k miles on the clock..... That said, I got A5 to save money and the exterior color was amazing. I havent gotten this many compliments since my E46 M3 that I had in early 2000s when it just came out. But again, if i didnt care much about money, I'd just get S or RS.
You're exactly right. Audi has made the S4 B8/B8.5/B9 platform so easy to modify even a simple intercooler, air intake, ECU/TCU flash, and cat-back exhaust can get you 500+ horsepower out of it
i dont know anything about audi and havent watched this video yet but how the hell do i tell if a 2020+ a4 is a 40 motor or 45? a lot of sites like autotrader, car gurus etc arent listing the hp numbers. they all just say 2.0t
Model 3 Performance if speed, capability, and a modern feel are your highest priorities, S4 if you want good performance and real luxury quality. A4 (45) if quality and price are most important to you but you still want a car with some grunt!
@@Realistick I might be missing something but seems like a no brainer to go with 45 option, 60 more horsepower losing only 1 mpg on highway. Only adding about 2k to price, doesn't cost any more than other competitors. 0-60 in less than 6 seconds is fast.
Americans talking about Premium feul For US germans its just normal fuel Your fuel in the US is just not as good as it is in germany But its half the price so good on you
That's so rare to find so im not surprised by the 8 month number! Glad to hear that it was worth it, im hoping I get to drive one with it here soon but it is a unicorn to me, congrats on the car!
The A4 45 is definitely the sweet spot. The S4 is for those who really care about the nuances and details - Quattro "ultra" vs "Traditional' Quattro, the optional rear LSD, bigger displacement V6 vs I4 (torque, power and engine note), adaptive dampers, traditional automatic vs Dual clutch etc. Personally, I have the 45 and love it enough not to really move to the S4.
I had the same dilemma when I was shopping for my first Audi... drove the S4 and don't get me wrong, the seats are amazing and power is wonderful... but the weight of the V6 turbo and the transition of that weight when driving aggressively through a set of turns was really felt... I bought the A4 45 S-line with black optics pkg... I put a tune on it after the break in period, it consistently delivers 4.5sec 0-60 runs... I do miss those seats from the S4
Also have an A4 45 black optics with the 19" wheels. Love the power and the handling, just really wish it sounded good. That's one thing about the S4 is you put an exhaust on it and it sounds amazing.
@@Car00071 IE, unitronic, and apr are usually what people go for. Add a cold air intake witj a stage 1 tune and you're under 4.5 seconds for 0-60. Stage 2 tune and you're between 3.5-3.75 seconds but you'll need an aftermarket intercooler, cold air intake, and a downpipe
After owning 2005 and 2014 A4, 2022 A4 45 is more than adequate. I love my 2022 A4. My plan is to baby my 2022 A4 for 6 years and trade it in for a S4.
2022 S5SB with Dynamic Steering and yes I can feel a difference in the settings, but I'd really prefer an even heavier feel. Maybe I need to drive an S4/5 without the steering upgrade to be able to really tell the difference? Our Macan has steering plus and I hate it! At no point in driving do I want caddy like steering. I managed a 3.7sec 0-60 on the stock S5 with only a 034 Stage 1 93 tune... making my daily quicker than my GT4. Crazy what this platform can do!
Now on my 3rd A4, I am driving the A4 S Line (45). In the past I had the V6. The 45 gives me the gas mileage and and power, but I think the V6 had more toraue. All in All... I am enjoying the new A4 S Line!
Nice layout of info deff thinking the 45, i have 2021 40 and no complaints except the turbo lag sometimes gets to laggy starting up, fun on the highway tho
At home we have a 2020 S5 and 2024 golf R and the dramatique on the S5 sportback that must be similar to de s4 is realy more fun to drive at drama mode than the 2L of the golf R and on twistys the s5 is realy more at ease then expected droven on p-zero tires. I expected more for de golf R maybe. The S4 must be a blast to drive whit the right options or mods
I just picked up a used 2019 A4 45 quattro last week for a nice daily driver. Got a really good price on it. The car has plenty of power for daily driving. I have my 2022 Shelby GT500 for when I'm craving more power lol.
A4 45 owner here with the Black Optics Plus package. Great video! On the tuning market, I've seen Dragy confirmed 4.29 seconds 0-60 with just a stage 1 tune. Which is basically S4 territory. Of course you can tune the S4 as well. But comparing everything stock, I found it hard to justify the S4's premium price over the A4. I am quite jealous of the sound though, and the prestige. It's nicer to show up somewhere in an S model Audi vs. an A. And you're right - an optioned A4 looks nearly identical to an S4. Finally, our cons are the same. There isn't much soul to the powertrain. Yeah its very quick and handles well, but you're just not going to make that 4 cylinder sound good.
It's funny because the s4 in It's own class is quite the performer, that a4, especially with the tune, makes it so damn close though it can be hard for a lot of people to justify.
I have the same exact car as u brotha just a 2019 instead, love the thing to death but the problem is voiding warranty to get that power… s4 you can not have to void any warranty and have 0 head aches when issues go wrong and still have that v6 quad pipes sound… tbh I wish I got a s4 or s5. Not trying to pay for a whole new engine outta pocket if shit goes wrong which is what you have to do when tuning and modifying down pipes and any type of part. S4 u get the same power but yet still at peace of mind and no worrying over shit going wrong and paying 20k plus in repairs
I bought a 2018 S4 Prestige with the diff, suspension and steering options. It’s gone 62,000 miles without any mechanical problems and averaged 30 mpg over that distance with mostly highway driving. Consumption drops to the high teens when hooned. It’s plenty fast enough in a straight line for the street. Steering is numb but precise and feels a bit more lively with Michelin PS4s over the OEM Continentals it came with. The diff helps with rotation but it still does best when driven like an Audi - trail braking deep to weight the front, get the turning done quickly, then boot on the exit and let the AWD and diff keep it pointed in the right direction. There are very perceptible differences in handling, throttle response and shifting going from comfort to auto to dynamic. There’s modest body roll even in dynamic, but I prefer that in a street car. Who needs to drive a plank to work? All in all a very entertaining and competent 4-season daily driver. The interior puts nearly all the competition to shame and still looks brand new with no visible wear on the leather. When I retire I might try to buy an RS3, accepting a somewhat cheaper interior for a more compelling powertrain, but I’ll keep the S4 until it’s close to 100,000 miles.
As a Youngster, i had 2 Audi 4000s Quatro and a Gt, now getting familiar with them all over again. They must be good because I cant find one at the dealerships, they only have a bunch of SUVs and R8s and a bunch of trades.☹️

Mine had the dynamic steering and don`t think its anything special. One thing I will mention is the M340i is way faster and feels way faster. I still think the Audi is a better looking car though.
I'm trying to decide between a 2019 a4 prestige and a 2019 s4 premium pls, both have relatively the same miles with the a4 having 30k and the s4 having 40k. They're both similarly priced too with the s4 only being 4k more in asking price. Any opinions on what might be the better buy here?
Got my A4 45 about three months ago. Absolutely impressed with this car. Put it in sport/dynamic mode at a red light and the thing just takes off. It’s a pleasure to drive. Great in the snow too.

There are very perceptible differences in handling, throttle response and shifting going from comfort to auto to dynamic. There’s modest body roll even in dynamic, but I prefer that in a street car. Who needs to drive a plank to work? All in all a very entertaining and competent 4-season daily driver. The interior puts nearly all the competition to shame and still looks brand new with no visible wear on the leather. When I retire I might try to buy an RS3, accepting a somewhat cheaper interior for a more compelling powertrain, but I’ll keep the S4 until it’s close to 100,000 miles.
As a Youngster, i had 2 Audi 4000s Quatro and a Gt, now getting familiar with them all over again. They must be good because I cant find one at the dealerships, they only have a bunch of SUVs and R8s and a bunch of trades.☹️

Mine had the dynamic steering and don`t think its anything special. One thing I will mention is the M340i is way faster and feels way faster. I still think the Audi is a better looking car though.
I copped a 18 S4 and its fun to drive. Looking into tuning and giving it a few mods to make it more me less factory
This video shows how impressive the A4 45 is with the mild hybrid system and "261" hp.
I will I has that extra horse power like the 2022 is there a way I can get more horse or even have the dealer tune it
My A4 st1 is faster than your S4. LoL 😂
I'm trying to decide between a 2019 a4 prestige and a 2019 s4 premium pls, both have relatively the same miles with the a4 having 30k and the s4 having 40k. They're both similarly priced too with the s4 only being 4k more in asking price. Any opinions on what might be the better buy here?
I would only worry if the S4 owner drove the car aggressively...Would have both inspected.
I got the s4. And I love it.
2022 A4 45 stock ... best Dragy 0-60 so far for me has been 4.74.. average is about 4.82 seconds ... Had a 2013 S4 and this car feels just as quick
Stock A4 45 does 5.3-5.5s.
@@DMCarReviews he hit 4.97s on a stock 45 in the video
@@DMCarReviews it always be Mfs that don’t even own a car saying the stats, go buy some before u talk about it
That S4 kind of sounds like it has the typical slushbox auto sound
Rs3> s4
No.
