Which is the most popular engine in the Audi A4 Avant?

There's nearly an equal split between diesel and petrol engines when it comes to used A4 Avant models. However, the diesel engines offer the highest efficiency, while the Quattro variant is the fastest-accelerating model.

Which are the most popular model variants?

Audi currently offers the A4 Avant in three models: Sport, S Line and Black Edition. The S Line is the most popular among used cars, but only slightly more than the Black Edition. With the S Line, expect a sportier suspension than offered with the base model, along with aluminium silver trim detailing, Alcantara leather seats, sports pedals and LED headlights with high-beam assist.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Look out for the panoramic glass roof. Upgraded stereo systems are available for a better sound experience in the cabin.

Is the Audi A4 Avant a good family car?

Yes, the A4 Avant is larger than the car it's based on, offering more boot space and rear passenger room. It's also comfortable and can be equipped with high-end technology for a more enjoyable family drive.

Is there a hybrid version of the Audi A4 Avant?

Audi didn't make the A4 Avant a hybrid car. There have only been petrol and diesel engines offered. If you're interested in electric power, check out the e-tron lineup.

Is the Audi A4 Avant available as an automatic?

Audi built A4 Avant models with an available automatic transmission. It's more popular than the manual gearbox variants among used cars.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Audi refers to its four-wheel drive system as 'quattro'. While the front-wheel drive configuration is more popular in the used market, there shouldn't be any difficulty finding one with the better traction and handling that four-wheel drive offers.
