Product Overview

Audi A4 Avant B9 (Typ 8W) naming update is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2018 to 2019. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
The main change was Audi's adoption of a new nomenclature that has confused many: Essentially, Audi started to assign numbers to engines based on their output rather than displacement. This was largely motivated by the fact that, in a downsized, turbocharged-world, the level of boost that the engine gets affects the output no less than displacement.
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 B9 A4 Avant comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners.
