What Are The Audi Trim Levels?

Audi has three main trim levels that they use on their vehicles. The entry level is the Premium trim level, the next step up is the Premium plus level, and the top of the line trim level is the Prestige. Depending on the model, not all trim levels may be available, for example the S4, S5, and SQ5 are only offered in Premium plus and Prestige, while some of Audi’s higher end cars such as the RS 5, S6, S7, and RS 7 are only available in one trim line.

Entry Level Premium Trim

The entry level Premium trim usually comes without some of the more desireable features, and sometimes might not even offer them as options. On the A4 for example, the Premium trim level comes with 17" 10-spoke wheels with 245/45-17 all-season tires. Optional features include rear passenger thorax side airbags, the Audi MMI Navigation package with voice control and iPod integration, a Cold Weather package with split folding rear seats and heated front seats, and an S line style package with Xenon plus headlights and LED running lights and tail lights.

Premium plus trim levels often include some of the optional features from the Premium trim and usually adds more advanced options. The A4 Premium plus upgrades to 18” 10-spoke Audi exclusive RS design wheels with 245/40-18 all-season tires. The Premium plus trim line includes the S line style package and the cold weather package. Available options include the rear passenger thorax airbags, the Audi MMI Navigation plus package with DVD player, Audi side assist blind spot monitoring, a 505 watt Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a Sport package with four way power lumbar adjustment, a sport steering wheel, sport suspension calibration, sport seats, and Audi drive select.

Prestige Package

The top of the line Prestige package includes many of the options from Premium plus models, while making the most advanced options available for order. The Prestige trim level on the A4 also gets the 18” RS design wheels with 245/40-18 all-season tires. It also includes the MMI Navigation plus package, the Bang & Olufsen sound system, and Audi side assist. Optional on the Prestige trim are the rear passenger thorax airbags, the Sport package, Manual rear-side window and power rear window sunshades, a Driver Assist package with Audi drive select, dynamic steering and adaptive cruise control, and an S line interior package with sport steering wheel, leather covered door armrests and trim, and perforated Alcantara seating surfaces.
