Product Overview

Audi A4 Avant B7 (Typ 8E) is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2004 to 2008. It was available with a range of V6 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 3.2 liters.

Realistically, the B7 A4 Avant was just a facelift of the B6 A4 Avant: The general design of the vehicle remained largely the same, though body panels and indeed many parts were updated. Notably, 5-speed automatic transmission was discontinued, 6-speed ZF 6HP was universally used for AWD models, and a CVT marketed as "7-speed Multitronic" was used for FWD models.

Engine-wise, the broad rollout of direction injection (FSI) was introduced, leading to a horrible reliability record for the B7. On the other hand, the V6 diesels of this generation turned out to be a fine unit.

Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi A4 Avant B7 comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners.
