In 1994 Audi released the S4 Base to the car-buying market. The S4 came in one configurations: Base. The Base configuration is powered by the 2.2-liter five-cylinder engine, which makes 23 highway miles and 18 city. The S4 competes in the Sedan market segment, in direct competition with Hyundai.

Performance

The restyled S4 Base is equipped with a Audi 2.2-liter 5-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 20 valves. The engine is paired with a Volkswagen 5-speed transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Audi.

The fuel system for the 1994 S4 is a traditional Bosch Motronic SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 21.10 gallons.

The S4 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

S4 Base Statistics

The S4 is 192.60 inches long, 71.00 inches wide, and 56.50 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 106.00 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1994 (MSRP) was $49,070, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

Fuel Efficiency

The S4 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of eighteen in-city driving and twenty three when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.
