ABOUT THE 2023 AUDI A4 S-LINE QUATTRO
The 2023 Audi A4 S line quattro is a compact executive saloon from the fifth-generation A4 (B9). This entry covers the 45 TFSI version, with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 261 hp and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm). It drives all four wheels through quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic, with a 12-volt mild-hybrid system assisting the engine.
Position in the range
For 2023 the US A4 was offered with two outputs of the 2.0 TFSI engine: the 201 hp 40 TFSI and the more powerful 45 TFSI. The S line versions use the stronger engine and add sportier bumpers, side sills and S line badges. Above them in the range sits the 349 hp S4. The B9 was by then a well-established design, having been on sale in the US since the 2017 model year.
What it is like
The A4 is known for a high-quality cabin, quiet refinement and secure handling rather than outright excitement. The 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen and virtual cockpit digital instruments are standard in this period, and the boot is a good size for the class. Rear legroom is adequate rather than generous.
Buying one today
Commonly reported issues on the EA888 2.0 TFSI include water pump and thermostat housing leaks. The S tronic transmission needs fluid changes at the specified intervals. Look for a complete service history and check that the driver-assistance systems work correctly.
Rivals
The A4 competed with the BMW 330i xDrive, Mercedes-Benz C 300 4MATIC, Genesis G70 and Volvo S60.
