Special features include 19-inch five-arm rotor alloy wheels in a matt titanium finish complemented by a titanium black styling pack which extends to the mirror housings, single frame grille and window surrounds, side skirts, rear spoiler and air intakes.

Other features include black roof rails on the Avant estate models and in both body styles privacy glass is added for the rear windows as well as acoustic front side window glass to reduce cabin noise.

All versions have Aud's Connect Safety and Service technology which takes used the A4's advanced Internet-enabled on-board network to provide emergency calls, online roadside assistance and Audi service request functions.

Sport models gain an upgraded multi-function steering wheel, a seven-inch full-colour driver's information system, front seat heating and leather upholstery, while S line models swap their cloth and leather combination upholstery for a leather and Alcantara mix and also add seat heating.
