The most powerful engines are two TDI six-cylinder units with up to 272bhp. Driver assistance and infotainment systems are of luxury quality.

A prominent horizontal line on the front and rear emphasises the car's width. The flowing design with concise lines communicates the sporty elegance of the brand. The Singleframe grille is wide and low; the optionally available headlights in LED and Matrix LED technology (including dynamic indicators) make technology a visual trademark.

The luggage compartment of the new A4 Avant offers storage space of 505 litres, which is the highest in this class. With the rear seats folded down and loaded to the roof, a volume of 1,510 litres is available. The electric luggage compartment cover and electric tailgate are standard equipment.
