The Audi A4 has been given a new lease on life with the launch of the Black Edition models.
As per Audi, the Black Edition treatment adds a number of cosmetic and functional features as standard at a significantly lower cost than if they were to be optioned individually.
If you are dead set on an A4 being your next ride of choice, let’s see how much you can save by going for one of these special-edition models.
A4 Black Edition
In Black Edition guise, the A4 Sedan is fitted with the following optional extras as standard:
- Privacy glass
- Glass sunroof
- Rear-view camera
- 19-inch alloy wheels
- Matrix LED headlights
- Audi virtual cockpit plus
- Electrically adjustable front seats
- S line exterior and interior package
- Audi phone box inductive charging
- Fine Nappa leather seats with S embossing
- Storage and luggage compartment package
- Three-zone comfort automatic airconditioning
- Black Styling Package, including black badging
- Technology package, including MMI navigation and Audi Connect
Making our way to the Audi configurator, adding all these fitments one by one to the base A4 35TFSI amounts to a total asking price of R1,012,000.
The comparable Black Edition goes for R909,300 – translating into a “savings” of R102,700.
S4 Black Edition
As the penultimate model in the A4 family, the S4 Black Edition derivatives are additionally equipped with:
- Seat heating
- Carbon boot spoiler
- Bang & Olufsen Premium sound system with 3D sound
- Sport seats Plus, including electric adjustment and diamond quilting
- Pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage function for front seats
Once again we can refer to the Audi configurator to get the low-down on what these niceties would cost had you specified them individually.
A standard S4 with all these extras runs up a tab of R1,291,500. Meanwhile, the S4 Black Edition sells for R1,288,900.
As such, you can save the sum of R2,600 by purchasing the Black Edition trim, which will probably be enough for a month or two of petrol top-ups.
