Product Overview

Audi S4 Avant B8 (Typ 8K) facelift is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2011 to 2016. It was powered by a supercharged V6 engine that displaced 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the facelift B8 S4 Avant switched to electric power steering and started using a lighter center differential. The manual transmission was also discontinued. Otherwise, there were some minor styling changes, too.
Overall, this facelift arguably downgraded the S4 Avant, though it made some numbers more palatable to the regulators and activists.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the B8 S4 Avant still uses multi-link suspensions at all four corners.
