Product Overview

Audi S4 Avant B7 (Typ 8E) is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2004 to 2008. It was available with a single naturally-aspirated V8 engine that displaced 4.2 liters.
In many aspects, the B7 Audi A4 is just a facelift of the B6 A4; hence, the B7 S4 Avant is just a facelifted version of the B6 S4 Avant. It uses the same 40-valve 4.2L NA V8 engine paired to 6-speed auto or manual transmissions.
The differences between the two models are mostly cosmetic.
Notably, from the 2007 model year, Audi started using a newer biased Torsen center differential that sends 60% of power to the rear wheels.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the B7 S4 Avant 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.
