2022 Audi A4 Sedan Interior and Cargo

The A4 has a simple but lovely interior. Base models get analog dials and a seven-inch driver info display, but mid- and top-level trims feature a 12.3-inch configurable gauge cluster and driver info screen that looks brilliant. In the middle of the dash is a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment display while the vents separate the screen from physical knobs for adjusting the tri-zone climate control system. Leather upholstery adds style, but an available S line leather and Dinamica upgrade makes the cabin sportier. Space in here is good too, with all occupants able to sit comfortably. Additional features like standard heated front seats and a ten-speaker sound system round off a great cabin.

The A4 seats five individuals, but the middle of the rear bench is best suited to kids, especially if the other rear passengers don't want their legroom infringed upon. Headroom is good back here, even if you're around the six-foot mark, while the front occupants get standard eight-way power-adjustable seats. The driver has all controls in easy reach and has a good view of all corners of the car. Thanks to an adjustable steering wheel and added lumbar support for the driver, spirited maneuvers never leave you feeling aloof or out of control.

As standard, the base 40 model comes with Brown Walnut wood inlays while opting for the 45 engine will see you get Grey Oak natural wood inlays as a free option too. Color choices for the upholstery include Atlas Beige, Black, Okapi Brown, and Rock Gray. All of these come with Granite Gray stitching, except for Black, which comes with Rock gray stitching. A black headliner with unique black upholstery costs 500 bucks on the top- and mid-level trims with the 45 engine, and is not available elsewhere. An S line interior package is available for $500 on 45 Premium Plus and 45 Prestige models only and adds brushed aluminum inlays, leather/Dinamica seats, and stainless-steel pedals.

The A4 sedan is naturally not as capacious as a wagon, but it's not bad for the segment either. Although the BMW 3 Series offers more trunk space with 17 cubic feet, the A4's measurement of 12 cubic feet of volume is better than the Genesis G70 can manage. A couple of medium-sized suitcases can be squeezed in there with relative ease, but the 40/20/40-split-folding back seats can always be tumbled to accommodate any extra stuff you can't fit in the trunk.

In the cabin, each door gets a small pocket for storing a bottle of water or a wallet, while the glovebox and a smallish center armrest bin can take care of other pocket contents. An area ahead of the gear-lever houses your phone while four cupholders throughout the cabin ensure that everyone can stay hydrated.
