The 2013 Audi S4 is a compact luxury sport sedan based on the B8.5-generation A4 platform, updated for the 2013 model year with refreshed styling and improved tech. It’s ideal for drivers who want all-weather traction, a premium cabin, and serious performance without moving up to a larger, heavier executive sedan. In the used market, the 2013 S4 is often cross-shopped with the BMW 335i and Mercedes-Benz C350/C63 alternatives, offering a strong blend of speed and daily comfort. With standard quattro all-wheel drive and a supercharged V6, it remains a standout for year-round, driver-focused commuting.

- 3.0T SUPERCHARGED V6: The 2013 S4 uses a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 (often referred to as the “3.0T”), producing around 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, delivering quick, effortless acceleration. - TRANSMISSION CHOICES: Available with a 6-speed manual or an automatic dual-clutch transmission (S tronic) depending on configuration, giving buyers a choice between engagement and convenience. - QUATTRO AWD STANDARD: Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive is standard, providing confident traction in rain and snow and helping the S4 put power down cleanly. - SPORT-TUNED CHASSIS: Performance brakes, responsive steering, and a firmer suspension tune compared to the A4 make the 2013 S4 feel planted and composed at speed. - UPDATED B8.5 TECH AND INTERIOR: The 2013 refresh brought updated infotainment and a more modernized cabin design, with typical Audi strengths like solid materials, supportive seats, and a quiet ride for the class.
