The S4 Avant is equipped with a Volkswagen 4.2 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 40 valves. The engine is mated to a Volkswagen 6-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Audi.

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.

The S4 is 179.00 inches long, 69.50 inches wide, and 56.20 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 104.30 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

There is a 50,000 mile, 48 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000/48 miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

The listed retail price in 2005 (MSRP) was $45,850, with an invoice cost of $42,244. This price is above average of the industry average price for a four-door Wagon.
