 What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I am GullPony, I do car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the new 2020 Audi S4, courtesy of Sun Motor Cars in McKennaxburg PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so needless to say, I'm pretty darn excited to be in this one today for several reasons. First off, being this one has been completely redesigned for 2020. So it is a completely new look for this year. Also new infotainment screen I'm looking at right now. Remember reviewing this car in previous years. That is definitely all new. And to go along with that, there are just overall plenty of updates to the 2020 S4. So of course it will be going over all of those for you in today's video along with testing everything else out. So what do you say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so there will be a few different trim levels for the 2020 Audi S4. First one being premium starting at $49,900. Then you have the premium plus starting at $52,400. And lastly, the prestige starting at $58,350. And so regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plan on this one will be the same. Powering this beast is going to be a three liter twin scroll turbocharged V6 putting out 349 horsepower, 369 pound feet of torque sent to all four wheels through Audi's Quattro all wheel drive system that power sent to the ground through an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know we will of course be testing out in a little bit here. Top speed comes in at 155 miles per hour, zero to 60. Audi puts it at 4.4 seconds. But you guys know Audi always tends to under promise and over deliver. So car and driver actually recently put it at 4.3 seconds. So go with that one. With MPG numbers coming into 20 in the city, 27 on the highway, of course, taking premium unleaded fuel. And so before we do any kind of acceleration or paddle shifter test, I did want to mention there are of course some driving modes they're going to be labeled drive select. And those buttons are located just underneath of the climate control settings there. But it will give you several different driving modes to choose from including comfort, auto dynamic and individual. All of those adjusting things like the shift points, the throttle response, steering sensitivity and actually the damper control as well. That is one that is not always adjusted on other vehicles out there, but not every vehicle has an adaptive suspension. So we'll of course get more into that later. But what do you say? Let's just go ahead and put an undynamic driving mode here and what I'm going to do now to test out the paddle shifters. I'm simply going to bump the shifter back one more time that is going to give me full manual shifting mode here. What do you say? Let's go ahead and test out the paddle shifters and let's see how quickly they are going to react for us here. All right you guys, let's get set up from a standstill and here we go. Yeah, definitely instantaneous paddle shifters. I always remember that with Audi though. Their paddle shifters are ridiculously quick. So if you did want to use them, it's worth it actually in the Audi S4 because they do react super quickly. So that is definitely a huge plus in my books. But to go ahead and take it out of that manual shift mode again, slide the shifter all the way to the back that is going to give full control back to the S4 and do believe you guys know what we have to do next. Now let's go ahead and do a quick little acceleration test here and let's see how quickly we can get this new 2020 Audi S4 here up to speed. All right you guys, once again from a standstill, three, two, one, go. Oh my goodness. You know what's funny you guys, I don't know why. Maybe it's the Quattro all wheel drive system but this thing feels faster than my 2019 for Mustang GT that supposedly hit 60 in 3.9 seconds. Perhaps it's because the power is grounded, it's sent to the ground, there's no spinning whatsoever and that's why this acceleration is absolutely breathtaking. You can feel it in the pit of your stomach and that's a good thing. Absolutely wonderful acceleration for the 2020 Audi S4 without a doubt. But so anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important and so upfront you will find 13.8 inch ventilated front discs. In the back, 13 inch ventilated rear discs as far as the braking feel goes, let's go ahead and slow down for this turn. Braking feel is amazing, quite honestly. Certainly no brake pedal delay, a very firm braking feel which I like in a car like the Audi S4 so wonderful braking feel, it goes very well with this car. Touching on suspension and handling both in the front and the back, you have a five link front and rear independent suspension along of course with that adaptive damping system and so that really is gonna give you the best of both worlds. It's not only gonna absorb a lot of the roads and perfections giving you a smoother ride but when you're going around turns a little faster it is gonna tighten up the suspension also giving you a little better handling. Again, hence the term best of both worlds and again that is actually going to adjust based on your driving mode as well. That is what I was mentioning earlier to you guys. That dynamic driving mode is going to firm up that adaptive suspension giving a little better handling around the back roads, that's a plus too. Do you wanna mention in addition to that though there is a sport package that adds an additional $2,500 but that's actually gonna adjust the suspension a little bit too giving you a sport rear differential which uses torque vectoring to change the torque distribution to the rear axle from side to side so that's gonna give you a little better handling also a little better acceleration at that. Also go along with that package red brake calipers as well and in addition to that there is a dynamic steering package that adds $1,150 to the price but overall as far as steering feel goes I wouldn't have minded a bit heavier of a steering feel especially for the car like the Audi S4 but having said that it's perfectly fine. It's not quite as heavy as a lot of the other cars in its segment it's not quite as heavy of course it's my 2019 Ford Mustang GT but this is more of a luxury sports car I guess you could say. So it is basically right on point for what it is I guess but as far as ride quality goes that's been perfectly fine my short test drive today and again that's partly due in fact because we do have that adaptive damping suspension and that's always gonna help with ride quality so that's a huge plus. Cabin noise is perfectly fine and really the only exterior noise that I'm absolutely loving is that exhaust note and we will do an exhaust clip in a little bit here because there is some crack live notice in the S4 so that's a huge plus but really the exhaust note is all I'm really getting coming into the cabin so there's no pronounced wind noise I mean you're always gonna get a little bit of wind noise but it's definitely nothing to worry about there it's just that exhaust note which I absolutely love that is a good thing you guys. A part of what's absorbing that exterior wind noise actually is there are dull paint acoustic front side glass for the windows if you go with the prestige trim level at least so that's gonna absorb a lot of that hence a little bit quieter of a ride so that's a plus there too but touching on visibility a few things here first off I'm looking at a frameless rear view mirror a very high-end clean look if you will so I do like that but as far as visibility goes really with any sedan especially the S4 you're gonna be able to see perfectly fine out the back as I am showing you guys right now so certainly no issues whatsoever with visibility there rain sensing windshield wipers also coming standard on all trim levels meaning when the S4 detects any kind of rainfall or mist the windshield wipers will turn on automatically for you there one less thing you have to worry about with that so you can better focus more of your attention on enjoying the drive in this very enjoyable car and last thing I wanted to mention there is a head-up display coming standard with the prestige trim level and that of course is gonna display things like your speed limit how fast you're currently going and some safety features up on that windshield so again you can better focus on more enjoying the drive so that is a huge plus as well but that about rounds out the performance segment of this review let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this beautiful Daytona gray pearl 2020 Audi S4 all right and here she is you guys completely refreshed for the 2020 model year let's go ahead and start up front new headlight design is going to come in the 2020 Audi S4 and really the A42 of course but LED headlights coming standard on all trim levels that will of course come with the automatic feature meaning when it starts to get dark out at night they are going to turn on automatically for you there so you never have to worry about that LED signature daytime running lights also coming standard end if you were to go with that prestige trim level that is going to add matrix LED headlights essentially super bright kind of like BMW laser light so it's essentially just the very brightest the very most wattage allowed by law more or less and that prestige trim is also going to add on top of that headlight washers as well then taking a look in the middle of it all Audi single frame front grille a new grille design for 2020 you guys probably already can tell that honeycomb design of course with that signature S4 badging that is all pretty standard found in previous years and then looking down at the corners there are some air ducts of course directing air around the wheel and tire combination for a little better aerodynamics there but now let's go ahead and make our way to the side of this one chrome windows surrounds coming standard black windows surrounds coming with a black optic package that goes for $1400 by the way if you are interested that package is also going to add gloss black side mirrors in addition to that as well of course but aluminum side mirror housings coming standard with the S4 and they will be power adjustable heated side mirrors with LED integrated turd signals and if you were to go with the premium plus or prestige you will actually get memory settings for those side mirrors as well then taking a look down at the wheel setup 18 inch five spoke alloy wheels coming standard for all trim levels 19 inch V spoke alloy wheels coming standard with the black optic package so a little different wheel setup again if you were to go with that black optic package and taking a look at the back of this one rear spoiler coming standard for all trim levels there is a new taillight design for 2020 LED taillights by the way that comes standard for all trim levels course S4 badging located in the lower left hand corner of that rear trunk and there is some aluminum trim found kind of close to the rear diffuser near the bottom that kind of ties in with the aluminum trim on the side so that's a good look to it black finish actually if you were to go with the black optic package where you're currently looking at that aluminum trim and just below it all dual exhaust outlets with quad bright tips so I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip it's open now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear trunk there is a button of course on the key fob simply press that button twice to go ahead and open that rear trunk also a button on the driver's side door and there's a button of course on the trunk itself so any of those ways are perfectly fine and it should also mention there is a hands free trunk release if you were to go with the premium plus or prestige trim level so that's going to be there for you too once opened up cargo capacity is going to come in at an even 12 cubic feet if that was not enough space those rear seats do fold down there is a 40 20 40 split giving you a ton of additional space back there if you needed it then make your way up to the rear leg room that is going to come in at 35.7 inches so for reference I mean even six feet tall this is how much base I have back there do want to also mention for those rear passengers they will find a rear center armrest with cup holders there is rear ventilation back there as well and there are rear side window sunshades if you were to go with what's called a warm weather package that adds $650 so we don't have those today of course but they are going to be there for you if you wanted them and of course as rear passengers do have a couple USB charging ports as well but then make your way to the front seats leather alcantara surfaces come as the standard setup I should say that's for all trim levels diamond pattern stitching of course that is what you're currently looking at right now with some S embossing towards the top portion of the front seat 12 way power adjustable front seats with four way power lumbar coming standard and they do come with pneumatic side bolsters a massage function which I've pretty much had on the whole drive today so that has definitely been quite nice especially if you have a bad back that's kind of cold driving home getting a massage on your way home from work but heated front seats coming standard ventilated front seats coming with that warm weather package that gives you the rear side window sunshades and overall when you factor in the massaging seats definitely a nice place to be in the front we'll say that but now let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping it is leather wrapped for all trim levels you do have the S badging at the bottom portion of the steering wheel and it is a flat bottom by the way I do love that also like the perforated leather grips on the left and right hand side of the steering wheel definitely makes me feel more in control so I do like that design element to it but overall let's now go ahead and make our way to the startup actually let me start by showing you guys the key you do have your S logo on the one side and when you flip it over lock unlock and again that button to pop the rear hatch but it is of course all keyless entering so all I am going to do simply keep the key in my pocket walk up to the S4 put my foot in the brake and press that engine start button which is located directly in front of the cup holders there and so but once started up first question everybody always asked me I'm just gonna get it out of the way that Audi virtual cockpit you can get with the premium plus and the prestige trim level so that of course is what you were looking at right now essentially what that is is a 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster which can be configured by using the steering wheel mounting controls on the left side and really the best button to control that is the view button that's gonna toggle between whether you want a larger gauge setup or a smaller gauge setup and that gives you a ton of things like how many miles you'll have left until you hit empty also some Bluetooth information and there's also going to be if you get a factory navigation system paired up with the S4 the map is going to be displayed up on that digital gauge setup so that is a huge plus although we don't have that today but on previous Audi's that I have reviewed that is probably the best part quite honestly if you were to get the factory navigation system at least but overall if you keep hitting that view button the gauges are gonna get smaller and larger so really even to this day Audi's had this for quite a while but even to this day Audi's virtual cockpit is still the one to beat in my opinion but let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality power sunroof coming standard on all trim levels black cloth headliner and although the black cloth headliner is pretty darn cool I wouldn't have minded seeing a microfiber suede headliner perhaps in the future but I don't know that's just my personal preference but three zone climate control coming standard on all trims LED interior lighting also a huge plus brushed aluminum interior accents with a little bit of carbon fiber accents too I'm seeing so that is definitely a huge win in my book there is carbon fiber accents and by the way this is authentic carbon fiber a lot of other manufacturers will actually use plastic to imitate the look of carbon fiber but this is actually the real thing in the S4 you have that on the doors just underneath all the air vents and also kind of in the center display around the shifter as well so I do love that and remember I was mentioning to you guys the microfiber suede that is actually found on the doors so I would have loved if they had brought that up to the headliner but I do love that it's on the doors I'll give it that stainless steel foot pedals illuminated aluminum door inlays that is definitely a huge plus as well again like I mentioned earlier to you guys the frameless rear Vermeer a very clean look there with a compass in the upper right hand corner just in front of the cup holders you have a USB charging port a 12 volt power outlet of course dual cup holders you have a little storage area just in front of the shifter there with the rubberized bottoms so things don't slide around as much just behind the shifter a letcher mechanical parking brake you actually have a little dial where you can control the volume and tune settings of what is on that infotainment screen which I will get to in a second here just behind that little tune button you do have what I believe is a key holder it fits this Audi key perfectly and when you open up the center armrest we'll actually find a wireless phone charger and another phone charger port just behind that wireless phone charger so it's a little bit of something for everybody I guess but now let's now get to one of the biggest differences between the 2020 and 2019 S4 being the tech display it is a 10.1 inch color touchscreen display Bluetooth and audio streaming Android Auto and Apple CarPlay coming standard for all trim levels factory navigation system coming with the prestige trim level however it is optional for the premium plus it goes for $1,600 if you wanted to go that route but really is a big benefit in any outage just because you can get that displayed up on the digital gauges which I think is the coolest thing ever but anyways you could check out your radio settings up on that screen as well of course by the way when it comes to the sound system we will get 10 speakers with 180 watts for the premium and premium plus trim levels and a 19 speaker bang and olfson sound system with 755 watts for the premium so what do you say let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing this morning and let's test out the clarity of this one that is new from Sanholo you guys just came out like two weeks ago it's called honest it's freaking awesome saw it but dang that was a ton of bass very impressed there well done Ali but last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that tech display is when you do put the S4 in reverse you of course will find a rear view camera letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety so let me first start by mentioning although it hasn't been tested for the 2020 model year yet but the 2019 Audi A4 and S4 was an IIHS top safety pick so it's got that going for it more than like for 2020 of course as well front side side curtain airbags will come standard in the back you're going to have latch aka lower and kitchen tethers for children for the rear car seats also back there rear child door locks there's a tire pressure monitoring system but also standard Audi pre sense basic and Audi pre sense city and if you were to go with a driver assistance package that goes for $1500 that is going to give you adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist and lane keep assist as well and I did want to also mention there are rear side airbags available in the back for $350 if you wanted to go that route too but
