Audi makes some modest but notable changes to the A4 and S4 for the upcoming model-year.
It’s never easy to go up against a powerhouse like the BMW 3-Series, and that’s especially true when an all-new version of the Bavarian juggernaut is getting ready to roll into showrooms. So, it’s understandable why Audi is also getting ready for a mid-cycle update of its own compact luxury line, with updated A4 and S4 models slated for 2012.
Don’t expect anything radical. Audi isn’t tearing up the blueprints and starting over. The basic dimensions remain largely the same. The new model is stretched by a few millimeters – unlike the 3-Series, which grows substantially for 2012. But Audi aficionados will recognize there are some significant changes, nonetheless.
