Audi has confirmed US pricing for the 2016 A4 range, with the entry-level saloon starting at $36,835 including destination. The outgoing B8-generation A4 enters its final model year with a series of minor equipment updates, as Audi prepares to introduce an all-new model in the near future.
2016 Audi A4 Range: US Pricing and Updates
Standard Equipment and Trim Updates
The 2016 A4 Premium trim now comes standard with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Buyers opting for the Navigation Plus Package will receive Audi Connect and Advanced Key, while the Technology Package includes a Bang & Olufsen sound system. The S Line Competition Plus Package brings a new set of 19-inch wheels, adding a sportier touch to the exterior.
These updates focus on enhancing equipment value rather than introducing significant mechanical changes. The 2016 model year does not bring any major changes to the engine or chassis, maintaining the familiar driving experience that has characterised the B8-generation A4 since its introduction in 2009.
S4 and Allroad: Pricing and Features
For buyers seeking more performance, the S4 is now priced from $50,125 including destination charges. Audi has not announced any equipment or powertrain changes for the S4 in the 2016 model year. The A4 Allroad, which features standard quattro all-wheel drive and a higher ride height, starts at $43,625. For 2016, the Allroad gains the same three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, Bang & Olufsen audio, Audi Connect, and Advanced Key as the saloon.
Model Changeover and Market Position
The 2016 A4 marks the final model year for the B8-generation saloon in the US, as Audi readies the next-generation A4 for launch in Europe later in 2015. American buyers will continue to receive the existing platform through the 2016 model year, with the new version expected to follow after its European debut.
In its segment, the A4 faces competition from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, and Cadillac ATS. Each of these rivals has received recent updates, making this a competitive market for compact executive saloons. Audi’s incremental changes for the 2016 A4 are aimed at maintaining appeal as the company transitions to the next-generation model.

Looking Ahead
With the next-generation A4 set to be unveiled in Europe, US buyers interested in the current model have a final opportunity to purchase the outgoing B8-generation with its latest equipment updates. The new model is expected to bring more substantial changes in design, technology, and performance once it arrives stateside.
