Audi A4 Signature Edition VS Audi A4 Technology

Exterior

The A4 has always been a looker, with those sharp lines, the bold Audi Singleframe grille, and those brilliant Matrix LED headlights that really light up the road. Both the Technology and Signature Edition share this stunning foundation. But the Signature Edition? It's like the A4 got a special, bespoke suit.

While both roll on stylish 17-inch alloys, the Signature Edition gives them a fresh spin with floating-hub-cap styling. It’s a small detail, but it really makes the wheels pop and gives the car a more premium, sporty vibe. 

Around the back, you’ll spot a subtle boot-lip spoiler that doesn't just add a touch of dynamic flair but also perfectly complements the new Audi Rings decals on the lower doors, little touches you won't find on the Technology model.

And for that extra-special welcome? The Signature Edition’s puddle lamps under each door mirror project the iconic Audi logo onto the ground, making every entry feel like an exclusive event. While both trims offer classic metallic paints like Mythos Black and Navarra Blue, the Signature Edition opens up even more options like Glacier White, Progressive Red, and Manhattan Grey. 

Interior

Slide into either A4, and its the usual large space layout with class worthy interior. You'll find the same intuitive ergonomic layout, that crisp 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen, and wonderfully plush leatherette seats that offer both heating and memory adjustments – pure comfort!

However, the Signature Edition adds warm grey oak-wood inlays gracing your dashboard and door caps, a sophisticated departure from the standard aluminum or piano-black trim you'd find in the Technology variant. 

you also get stainless-steel pedal covers, adding a sporty touch along with a subtle fragrance dispenser that scents the cabin 

While both cars boast a stunning 30-color ambient lighting system, the Signature Edition ups the ante with updated door puddle-lamp graphics and decals, creating an even more immersive, "halo" effect as you step in at night.

Rest assured, both models keep you comfortable with three-zone climate control, offer the convenience of wireless charging, let the light in with a panoramic sunroof, and immerse you in sound with the incredible 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D audio system. To complete the personalized feel, the Signature Edition even includes custom-painted key-fob covers in its unique colors.

Infotainment & Technology

When it comes to staying connected and in control, both A4 trims are absolute powerhouses. You'll enjoy Audi's latest MMI system with its crystal-clear 10.1-inch touchscreen, seamless wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, and even built-in Alexa. Plus, that magnificent 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit Plus digital driver display is a joy to behold. And for audiophiles, the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system with its 19 speakers and 755 watts delivers an identical, breathtaking audio experience in both variants.

Where the Signature Edition truly shines is in its enhanced driver assistance. While the Technology trim offers helpful features like Parking Aid Plus (with a rear-view camera), cruise control, lane-keep assist, and Audi Drive Select, the Signature Edition takes urban maneuvering to the next level with automated Park Assist featuring a 360° surround-view camera. 

 Both models also come packed with conveniences like keyless comfort entry, a gesture-controlled tailgate, an air purifier, TPMS, rain-sensing wipers, and auto-dimming mirrors. So, while the core infotainment hardware is the same, the Signature Edition's added surround-view camera and those cool projected logo puddle lamps definitely give it a convenient tech advantage.

Powertrain & Performance

Under the bonnet, both the A4 Technology and Signature Edition share the same spirited heart: a 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a responsive 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox and gets a little extra boost from a 12V mild-hybrid system. What does that mean for you? A lively 204 PS (around 201 bhp) and a healthy 320 Nm of torque, propelling you from 0 to 100 km/h in a swift 7.1 seconds, all the way up to a top speed of 241 km/h.

Both models feature a front-wheel-drive setup with a sophisticated five-link suspension at both axles, expertly tuned to deliver that signature Audi balance of a comfortable ride and dynamic, engaging control. You’ll also get to play with Audi Drive Select, which lets you tailor your driving experience with Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, and Individual modes. Plus, the mild-hybrid system includes regenerative braking for a touch more efficiency.

Speaking of efficiency, you can expect an ARAI-rated 17.4 kmpl combined

Price: A Surprising Twist!

Here’s the really interesting part: Audi has cleverly priced the Signature Edition at exactly ₹57.11 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi NCR) – which is the exact same price as the top-spec Technology trim!

This is fantastic news for buyers. By bundling all those exclusive cosmetic upgrades and advanced convenience features at no extra cost, Audi has positioned the Signature Edition as an incredibly high-value option which we reckon will be the default choice for those who want to buy the best version of Audi A4 currently available
