Vehicle Highlights
The 2010 Audi A4 adds a refreshed S4 sedan model to its lineup. Audi's top-selling car line features 4-door sedans and Avant wagons. The Cabriolet convertible is redesigned and will be sold as part of Audi's A5 lineup. Both the sedan and wagon will likely continue to offer Audi's quattro all-wheel drive, and some versions of the sedan should be available with front-wheel drive. Sedans and Avants come in 2.0T trim and should continue to feature a turbocharged 211-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The 3.2 quattro should remain sedan only. It would have a 265-hp 3.2-liter V6. A continuously variable automatic transmission should be standard on front-drive 2.0Ts. 2.0T quattro models will likely be available with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. 3.2 quattros should be automatic only. S4 sedans should be available in the fall of 2009 as 2010 models, and they will be powered by a 333-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6 mated to either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic. S4 will have 18-inch wheels and unique exterior and interior features. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, rear side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Other available features should include a navigation system; Audi's MMI control for audio, climate, and other functions; a self-opening trunklid; Audi Drive Select, which allows the driver to customize steering and suspension settings; blind-spot alert; keyless entry and starting; a wireless cell phone link; and a rearview camera.
