Product Overview

Audi S4 Avant B8 (Typ 8K) is a high-performance compact executive station wagon in production from 2009 to 2011, whereupon it received a faclieft. It was available with a single supercharged V6 engine that displaced 3.0 liters.

Compared to the B6/B7 S4 Avant, the B8 model lost the NA V8. Thankfully, the supercharged 3.0L V6 (mis-labelled as "TFSI") is one of the better V6s in Audi's forced-induction, FSI era.

Styling-wise, the B8 is a major improvement, though the S4 Avant, as all Audi S models, looks very similar to the A4 Avant.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the B8 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.
