With a progressive exterior and a purposeful style, the 2011 Audi S4
maintains its presence as one of the leaders in automotive design. A taut
musculature denoted by strong shoulders and a dramatically raked roofline has
become synonymous with the Audi name, and the S4 showcases both of these traits.
Innovations like LED accent lighting and a bold Singleframe grille are
instantly recognizable by the public.
Interior Design
With
an interior designed to be spacious and inviting, the Audi S4 is driver
oriented, while also catering to passengers. From the driver's seat, it is
apparent immediately that the Audi S4 shares DNA with the luxurious A8. The
cockpit incorporates a center stack tilted slightly toward the pilot, and
brilliant, easy-to-read gauges hint of an athletic nature.
The
long-standing Audi commitment to craftsmanship and quality materials is obvious
in the 2011 Audi S4. Supportive seats are executed in high-quality leather,
while brushed accents throughout the cabin draw the eye from one flowing surface
to the next. With three interior colors from which to choose, buyers are
guaranteed an interior choice designed to please the individual palette.
The 2011 Audi S4 offers an unparalleled array of cutting edge technology to make
the driving experience safer and more relaxed. The available Audi parking system
with rear backup camera, makes getting in and out of tight spaces easier than
ever. Audi side assist alerts the driver to blind spot dangers, while adaptive
cruise control automatically accelerates or decelerates to keep pace with
traffic.
A host of entertainment options makes the Audi S4 perfectly
suited for individuals who demand the most from their vehicles. The available
Audi music interface ensures seamless iPod integration - channeling buyers'
favorite music through an unrivalled 505-watt 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen Sound
System. Further enhancing the entertainment experience, available
state-of-the-art hard drive based navigation with third generation MMI system
now includes HD Radio for 2011.
The S4 continues to offer buyers more
interior space than any of its direct competitors. Occupants are treated to
expansive legroom, thanks in part to the S4's overall length of 15.4 feet.
Buyers also can take advantage of the 60/40 folding rear seats to transport even
larger baggage, including skis and snowboards. Despite the generous interior
space, the S4 remains light on its feet thanks to an ever-present focus on
lightweight, rigid body construction.
