The new Audi A4 Avant is on sale from 32,820 euros, about 1,700 euros more than the saloon. For the moment, can only be purchased with two gasoline engines and two diesel.

The family version of the A4 measured the same as the four-door (4.70 m), while its trunk is only 10 litres more (490 versus 480 l l). The trunk of the Avant is more practical because you have gate-to-mouth and a larger-entry is more convenient to load. The large interior space, equipment and plenty of good qualities dynamics do not change.

At the time of launch, is available with two petrol engines (1.8 l T FSI 160 hp and 3.2 l V6 FSI of 265 hp) and two Diesel (2.0 l TDI 143 hp and 3 , 0 l V6 TDI 239 hp). All have direct fuel injection and, except for the 3.2 l FSI, everyone is turbo. The A4 Avant with six-cylinder engines have traction total.

All engines are associated with a shift six-speed manual. Optionally, the two least powerful (143 and 160 hp) can join an automatic gearbox ‘multitronic’ eight speeds. The V6 petrol is also available with an automatic change ‘Tiptronic’ six speeds.

After the summer, may be bought with five other engines, two petrol (2.0 TFSI l variants in the 180 and 211 hp) and three diesel (2.0 l TDI 120-hp, 2.0 l TDI 170 CV and 2.7 l TDI 190 hp).

As far as we have seen in the A4 four-door, gives the impression of being a big car and quality. Although not as comfortable as a Mercedes-Benz C-Class or as nimble as a BMW 3 Series, the A4 has an intermediate point between comfort and agility very accomplished. Moreover, it is well insulated from the noise of the engine.

With the diesel engine of 143 hp, is fast and its consumption is low. Regarding the previous 140 hp engine (which had a direct injection pump-injector rather than through common), is markedly softer and less noisy.
