Practicality and Comfort
With the Audi S4 being a sports sedan it has a very wide and low profile, meaning their will be a lot of space for arms and legs but for those with taller frames, headroom and legroom in the rear may come at a premium. Optional high quality leather upholstery may also not be the best option for small children.
- Passenger / Seating Capacity 5
- Front Head Room (cm) 94.7
- Front Leg Room (cm) 105
- Front Shoulder Room (cm) 142
- Second Row Head Room (cm) 95
- Second Row Leg Room (mm) 90
- Second Row Shoulder Room (mm) 138
Storage and Boot space
The boot space in the S4 is a very deep and flat 340l. There is also a multitude of door pockets, bottle holders and cubbys for all your different needs.
Verdict
We would recommend the S4 for families that have slightly older children, those out of car seats. Although the rear is fitted with ISOfix, the low slung nature of a sports sedan and high-end interior may not be best suited for those with toddlers or younger offspring.
