Product Overview

Audi A4 Avant B6 (Typ 8E) is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2001 to 2004. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.6 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the B5 A4 Avant, the biggest update is the adoption of multi-link rear suspensions by the FWD vehicles. This update gave more credibility to the A4 Avant as a compact executive car.
Engine-wise, this generation also saw the introduction of the first direct-injected I4 engine, which was disastrous. A highlight was the last of broad availability of 5-valve per cylinder petrol engines.
