Product Overview

Audi A4 Avant B9 (Typ 8W) is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2015 to 2018, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.4 to 3.0 liters.

For this generation, Audi offered miniaturized 1.4 TFSI engine option, which does not convey much confidence in terms of durability, though for fleet use it may just be the answer to rising taxes. The only other non-S, non-RS petrol engine was a 2.0 TFSI, which also has proven to be VAG's troublesome bread-and-butter. Ironically, rather decent diesels were widely available, including 3.0 TDIs.

Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.26 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the B9 A4 Avant (Typ 8W) comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
