020 3993 9899 *The front seats offer sufficiently spacious leg and headroom, together with several seat adjustment positions and postures. The rear seats are also similarly spacious, making for comfortable in-town driving. Driving the A4 Avant on a rough country road reduces the comfort level, especially with the Sport S trim. The Sports S has large alloy wheels that are very unforgiving when rolling on bumpy terrain.
The 505-litre boot is marginally more spacious than what you get with several of its closest rivals, like the C-Class Estate and the 3-Series Touring. It is also slightly wider, making loading easy. The luggage capacity reaches 495 litres with the rear seats down, which is the same as the Mercedes and BMW alternatives. The boot also has helpful fold-away hooks to hang shopping bags and storage nets to hold items in place.
The 3 diesel units include the 30 TDI, 35 TDI and 40 TDI. All diesel options use the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine tuned to 134 bhp, 161 bhp or 201 bhp, respectively. The 40 TDI features a 4-wheel-drive configuration as a standard. The high-power engine options include 3 different petrol-powered 2.0-litre turbo configurations: the 35 TFSI, the 40 TFSI and the 45 TFSI. The latter two respectively push 201 bhp and 261 bhp. The top-of-the-range 45 TFSI is the only trim that comes with the Quattro 4-wheel-drive system as a standard.
Eco-conscious drivers and organisations will find the 30 TDI and 35 TDI diesel engines most preferable. These engines offer good fuel economy ranging from 86�109 mpg, with CO2 emissions between 127-145 g/km. If you prefer petrol over diesel, you'll have to settle for 35 TFSI that returns 63�86 mpg. All of the other engine options will require you to sacrifice more fuel economy.
You can be confident when it comes to safety, as the similar Audi A4 saloon earned a 5-star Euro NCAP rating in 2009. The A4 Avant comes with 6 airbags, anti-lock brakes, parking sensors and stability control as a standard. There are 2 other innovative safety systems, too. One is Pre-Sense city braking, and the other is multicollision assist, which respectively helps avoid obstacles and multiple collisions.
While it doesn't exude the same elegance as the Mercedes C Class, the Audi A4 Avant still gives it an excellent run for the money. The Audi A4 has a simple, refined and intuitive style with high-quality materials, such as polished aluminium, wood and natural leather. Very few car models in the compact estate class can rival Audi's build quality.
There are 7 turbocharged engine options to choose from, including 4 diesel and 3 petrol engines available. Audi offers an optional electric-assisted hybrid engine system, too. The A4 Avant is a fast car, with even the smallest 134 bhp 2.0-litre 30 TDI managing 0-100 km/h in 9.8 seconds and reaching a top speed of 130 mph. The most powerful is the 2.0-litre petrol-powered 45 TSFI, which is also the only trim that comes with the Quattro 4-wheel-drive configuration as a standard option. The powerful motor is tuned to 261 bhp and takes just 5.7 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 mph.
Audi avails the A4 Avant in 4 different trim levels, each bearing the usual Audi badge level specification: the Technik, Sport, the Sport S and the top-range Vorsprung. A 2019 facelift introduced an improved infotainment system, including a 10-inch HD widescreen on the dashboard as a standard. Other standard features across all trim levels remain the same, such as:
Even though the A4 Avant is an upmarket model, full-leather upholstery only comes with the Sport trim and above. The Sports trim also includes larger alloy wheels and ambient interior lighting. Other features available in the A4 high-level trim lines include:
The top-range Vorsprung comes with an adaptive sports suspension with sport differential and damping control to provide a top-of-the-segment sporty experience. Other standard kits in this trim version are adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, a driving assistant system and heated front and rear seats. You also get a 755W Bang & Olufsen 20-speaker sound system. Fortunately, you can get many of these extras across other trims by purchasing Audi's Comfort and Sound package.
