Do you feel overwhelmed when browsing the various trim levels of the Audi lineup? Understanding what each trim offers and which fits your needs best can be challenging. Read as we share this guide to the Audi trim levels to help you understand your options. We'll break down features, technology options, and performance details to help you choose the ideal model for driving around Smithtown and St. James, New York.
Audi Trim Levels Explained
The main Audi lineup has three popular trims: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. Let's explore each one more closely.
Premium: Entry-Level Luxury With Advanced Features
The Audi Premium trim is the starting point, but don't let that fool you. You'll appreciate this trim's appealing, luxurious touches. High-quality leather seats create a comfortable environment. The standard heated front seats are perfect for chilly New York winters. Tri-zone automatic climate control allows passengers in different seating areas to set their preferred temperatures.
All Premium trims include Audi's intuitive MMI touch response infotainment system with seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Standard safety features include lane departure warning and Audi pre sense, which detects potential front collisions and helps prevent accidents.
Premium Plus: Enhanced Comfort, Technology, and Safety Upgrades
The Audi Premium Plus trim level offers more features and convenience. Along with everything the Premium trim offers, you'll get additional comfort-focused touches. The cabin includes ambient LED interior lighting that makes night driving pleasant without distracting you.
If you're a tech enthusiast, you'll enjoy the customizable 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit. This digital driver display clearly presents essential information. If you're a music lover who appreciates listening to music while cruising around Smithtown, you'll notice an immediate upgrade with the premium Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system filling your cabin with fantastic audio clarity.
Safety improvements also appear in this trim, including adaptive cruise control that recognizes surrounding cars and adjusts your speed accordingly. To simplify parking, an advanced top-view camera system shows your car from all angles.
Prestige: Top-Tier Features and High-End Performance
The Audi Prestige trim provides the highest luxury, combining everything from the lower trims while adding advanced technology and sophisticated comfort upgrades.
Matrix-design LED headlights with dynamic turn signals enhance styling and ensure improved visibility on darkened roads. The head-up display puts key driving information on the windshield so you can keep your eyes on the road.
There are luxurious touches throughout the cabin. Extended leather adds tasteful coverings over armrests and center consoles. Additional driver-assistance features also appear, with traffic sign recognition alerting you to speed limits or other important signage as you drive.
Performance-Oriented Audi Trims
If you're enthusiastic about driving performance, the Audi lineup has several exciting options, including the S Line, S, and RS models.
S Line: Sportier Styling and Upgraded Handling
Audi's popular S Line package enhances the lineup with sporty elements. These stylish upgrades include more aggressive front and rear bumper styling, distinctive fender and door sill badges, and larger sport wheels for improved grip.
Sport seats provide side bolstering on tight corners, and a perforated leather steering wheel features contrast stitching. A slightly lowered suspension and tuning that improves cornering stability ensure sharp handling.
Audi S Models: High-Performance Upgrades and Sporty Aesthetics
The high-performance S models — such as the popular S4 or SQ5 SUV — offer considerable performance upgrades over traditional models in the Audi lineup. These vehicles include powerful turbocharged engines paired with quattro all-wheel-drive systems that give you the power you need at any speed or in any weather condition.
Upgraded braking systems give better stopping power during spirited drives or daily commutes. Visually distinctive design touches set these models apart from standard trims. Quad exhaust outlets mark these vehicles as serious performance models, while aluminum-finish mirror caps and sporty spoilers make a statement.
Audi RS Models: Track-Ready Power and Exclusive Design
The top-of-the-line RS trims deliver track-inspired power and exclusive eye-catching design details to these performance-focused vehicles in the Audi lineup. For example, the breathtaking RS 7 offers a potent 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that provides 621 horsepower and is capable of thrilling acceleration.
All RS models handle corners effortlessly due to adaptive air suspensions tuned for improved agility when taking tight turns at higher speeds. Exclusive visual enhancements, such as bold oval exhaust tips, honeycomb grilles, and wider wheel arches with sporty wheels wrapped in performance tires, differentiate these models.
Luxurious RS-specific seating features premium materials, while unique instrumentation displays performance metrics during exhilarating drives on Smithtown roads.
Electric and Hybrid Audi Trim Options
Are you considering switching to an electric vehicle (EV)? Let's briefly explore available electric trims, such as the popular e-tron line of all-electric SUVs.
Audi e-tron Trims: Luxury EV Features and Performance
Audi e-tron Premium trims offer an excellent introductory luxury EV experience, blending refined interiors with innovative technology. Dual touch-screen infotainment systems and heated seats ensure a comfortable commute while supporting environmentally conscious driving.
