A Review of the Audi A4 S-Line: A Modern Classic

The Audi A4 has been a cornerstone of the Audi line-up since its introduction in 1994. Known for its blend of luxury, comfort, and performance, the A4 has evolved over the years, adapting to changing market trends while maintaining its core identity.

 

A Return to European Luxury

Lately, I have been driving a lot of domestic vehicles. So getting back into a European vehicle was a pleasant surprise. The 2024 Audi A4 S-Line is a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and technology. It is a car that feels timeless yet modern.

 

Exterior: A Sporty Silhouette

The S-Line trim offers a more aggressive exterior styling compared to base models. The lower stance, low-profile 18-inch tires, and sport-inspired modifications give it a confident and agile look. The familiar Audi silhouette is instantly recognisable, with its sleek lines and sharp angles. The LED headlights and sidelights add a touch of modernity and enhance visibility.

 

Interior: A Luxurious Haven

Step inside the A4 S-Line and you are greeted by a luxurious and tech-filled interior. The 10.1-inch infotainment display is intuitive and easy to use. The Bang & Olufsen premium-brand speakers deliver exceptional sound quality. Wireless charging below the armrest is a convenient feature. The combination of leather and woodgrain accents adds a touch of sophistication.

While I appreciate the luxurious feel of leather seats, I prefer fabric due to our tropical climate. Fortunately, the A4 S-Line’s fabric seats are just as comfortable and durable. Everything inside feels soft to the touch, from the steering wheel to the door panels. The spacious sunroof allows for plenty of natural light. The front seats offer four-way lumbar support for added comfort on long drives.

The layout of the interior seems like a nod to the ‘90s, with rotary knobs for the climate controls and analog dials in the gauge cluster. However, the MMI system is incredibly easy to use and controls everything from the mood lighting to the music.

 

Driving Experience: A Joyful Ride

The A4 S-Line’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine provides ample power, delivering instant speed on the North-South highway. The seven-speed S-tronic transmission shifts smoothly and efficiently. With excellent weight distribution, the car stays balanced on the road even through sharp turns. The steering is precise and responsive.

The 2024 Audi A4 S-Line is a well-rounded luxury sedan that offers a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. With its stylish exterior, luxurious interior, and powerful performance, it is a great choice for drivers who appreciate quality, technology, and style.
