The 2024 Audi S4 is on the domestic market, compared to the imported A4 40TFSI (**ant version 35.).980,000), the Limousine sedan version is priced at 48880,000, ** much higher, but the engine, gearbox, and suspension system are all renewed, 20t was changed to 30T V6, as an unpopular sedan, is the S4 worth choosing?Let's break it down in detail.
Chassis suspension
The A4 front and rear axles are equipped with a five-link suspension as standard, the S4 adopts the same structural design, but it is more sporty in terms of tuning, the five-link can accurately separate the longitudinal and transverse forces, the front and rear consistent suspension design is rare in the same class of models, the S4's sports package contains a sports adaptive damping suspension and a rear axle limited-slip differential, which actively distributes torque between the two rear wheels to increase steering agility, and in extreme cases, all torque can be concentrated on one wheel, combined with a dynamic steering system to reduce vehicle thrust when cornering at high speeds。
The S Sport suspension is 23mm lower than the suspension of the A4, and the Electronic Chassis Platform (ECP) manages the CDC continuous damping control system, allowing the vehicle to be used in more scenarios, allowing the driver to adjust the suspension characteristics in multiple modes, switching between handling pleasure and ride comfort. In terms of tires, the front and rear are equipped with 255 35 R19 sizes, which are more gripping than the 245 tires of the A4L. As for the brakes, the front axle is a large 375 mm disc with red six-piston calipers with an S logo.
Today's A4 is equipped with a four-wheel drive system for timely all-wheel drive, and the Quattro all-wheel drive system is the highlight of the Audi S series, with a self-locking mechanical** differential that sends 60% of the engine torque to the rear axle and 40% to the front axle during normal driving. If the vehicle detects a slippery road surface, it will allocate 70% of the energy to the front axle, allowing the vehicle to approach the characteristics of a front-wheel drive car and prevent skidding, while in sport mode, 85% of the power can be allocated to the rear axle, which is more inclined to the driving characteristics of a rear-wheel drive car and brings more driving pleasure. When cornering, the wheels on the inside of the corner brake slightly before skidding, making cornering more agile and stable.
2024 Audi S4 LimousinePracticality
First drive
The domestic imported S4 uses a gasoline engine like the North American S4, while Europe focuses on the TDI diesel engine, compared to the EA888 2 of the A40t, code EA839 3The power and torque of the 0T V6 turbocharged engine have been significantly improved, the peak torque has increased from 320Nm to 500Nm, the power is 260kW, and the burst speed of peak torque is lower, from 1370rpm to 4500rpm, while the A4 peak torsion burst speed is 1450rpmThe 77-ton sedan can be used in 4Break 100 in 7 seconds, and ordinary A4L takes 83 seconds, in order to ensure driving safety, the electronic speed limit of the S4 is 250 km h.
The transmission is mated to a speedy Tiptronic automatic transmission, which is well suited to the low-rpm torque output of the V6 engine, which can withstand more torque than the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. At low speed, the movement transmission ratio of the gear is high, which shortens the acceleration time, and the gear ratio of the high-grade position at high speed is opposite, reducing the engine speed, reducing energy consumption, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 827l。
Second ride
As a sports sedan, the ride experience is not as good as the A4L with an extended wheelbase, and the length, width and height of the S4 are 477 meters, 1847 meters, 141 meters with a wheelbase of 2826 meters, compared to the wheelbase more than 2The 9-meter A4L has more cramped rear space, but the trunk space is larger than that of the A4L, with a volume of 480L, and the loading practicality is up to standard. The S4 comes standard with 123-inch full LCD gauge and 101-inch MMI multi** central control screen with built-in MIB 3 operating system.
The S-shaped sports seats are upholstered in Nappa leather and offer electric front seat adjustment, heating and massage functions, while leg rests are available as standard with a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and 30-colour ambient lighting to reduce fatigue on long drives. Although it is a sports sedan, Audi still has not forgotten the rear row, standard rear independent air conditioning, rear seat air outlets, temperature zone control, etc., but the second row of seat heating costs 5500 yuan optional.
Thirdly, assisted driving
Although**close to 500,000,But the driving assistance configuration is less, S4 is only equipped with the basic single-camera reversing image and cruise control as standard, as a sports sedan that focuses on driving pleasure, Audi will take most of the assisted driving as an option, the option is high, such as a panoramic reversing image and automatic parking, need 2080,000 yuan, while adaptive cruise and lane keeping functions require 2580,000 yuan optional.
Car Pick Detective Viewpoint:Nowadays, there are not many high-horsepower pure fuel cars on the market, dual-motor electric vehicles have replaced most of the large-displacement models, Audi continues to introduce the S4, providing a new choice for internal combustion engine enthusiasts, although the engine, transmission and suspension are completely different, but the appearance design of the S4 is close to that of the A4L, lacking a trace of maverick temperament. What do you think of the s4?Welcome to discuss.
