2002 Audi S4 Sedan & S4 Avant Wagon

The new 2002 Audi S4 Sedan and its versatile counterpart, the S4 Avant Wagon, have been busy raising a few eyebrows in the industry for their superb attention to luxurious detail, world-class safety features, and solid performance. Coupled with a timeless, flowing design that is a pleasure to behold, the five-passenger S4 models are sure to be a hit this year.

A quiet yet powerful engine lies at the heart of each vehicle, boasting a DOHC biturbo 90-degree V6 with five valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, and variable composite intake manifold. Two versatile configurations are offered - a 250 horsepower 2.7-litre V6 with six-speed manual transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, or a 250 horsepower 2.7-litre V6 with a five-speed Tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive.

The manual transmission accelerates from 0-60 in just 5.9 seconds, while the Tiptronic version hits the mark in 6.5 seconds. Pick your poison; the S4 is one fine piece of machinery and a joy to drive. And with its finely calibrated suspension, its handling is responsive while providing a quiet ride.

Climbing inside the 2002 Audi S4 Sedan, you’ll an incredible array of comforts and conveniences. Standard fare includes Silk Nappa leather seating surfaces, and gray polished Birdseye Maple wood trim inlays in the instrument panel, center console, and doors. Passengers are spoiled with fully automatic climate control with air filtration system, 10-way power driver and front passenger Sport seats, power windows, power door locks, and a Symphony AM/FM stereo with CD and cassette players and six speakers.

With the driver’s experience close at heart, the S4 Sedan packs in a leather-wrapped 3-spoke Sport steering wheel, leather-wrapped gearshift knob and hand brake lever, and electronic cruise control (handily mounted on the steering wheel in Tiptronic models). And for those of you who live in colder climes, the driver’s side lock is heated to prevent freezing.

Inclement weather was also a consideration when it came to planning many of the exterior features of the 2002 Audi S4 Sedan. Every vehicle is equipped with heated windshield washer nozzles, high-pressure retractable headlight washers, heated dual power outside mirrors, two front fog lights, and one rear fog light. For a sleek and contemporary look, the grand exterior is finished off with body-colored protective side moldings and flush door handles.

With the S4 Sedan appealing to a wide variety of drivers, including those with families, safety becomes an important factor to which great attention has been paid. Every vehicle is bolstered with rear child safety locks, child seat tethers and anchors, first aid kit, and an emergency triangle stowed in the rear luggage area. Further safety measures include ABS brakes, Electronic Stabilization Program, tool kit, and central locking system.

Passengers are further protected by side head protection air bags in the front and rear seating areas, driver and front passenger seat-mounted chest side air bags, as well as driver and passenger dual-stage air bags. Each seating position is also fitted with a head restraint and three-point seat belts.

For those with busy lifestyle, families, or diverse work requirements, the 2002 Audi S4 Avant Wagon will prove to be a versatile solution. With the convenient liftgate that opens up to 31.3 cubic feet of EPA luggage volume, loading and unloading your gear is a breeze. And with the 60/40 split folding seats down, the area is expanded to 63.7 cubic feet! The 2002 S4 Avant Wagon also adds to the range of standards outlined above roof rails with a bright finish, a retractable luggage cover, retractable luggage partition net, and even an expandable ski sack. Off you go!
