Default Cargo space of S4 vs A4

The storage volume (seats up) of S4 is listed as 12 cft (350lt), and for the A4 as 17cft (470lt). Why such a difference? I thought both cars have the same dimensions!

I just drove an S4 service loaner (lot's of fun) and looked in the trunk - it looked identical to my A4. My first thought was maybe the A4 is being measured with the seats down but that can't be it. Possibly a typo?

Yah, I couldn't believe it. They offered me a Q5 or an S4. (I usually get an A4 these days). After I hesitated for about 3 seconds, I opted for the S4. What a beast. The DSG transmission is also pretty amazing. I was hoping they would have to keep my car for, oh I don't know, say a few weeks in service awaiting parts or something? No dice - my A4 was ready the next day. Sigh....

Typo. Same car in every dimension except weight.
