Product Overview

Audi A4 Avant B9 (Typ 8W) facelift is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift B9 A4, the facelifted Avant conforms to the Euro 6d emission standard, with gasoline particulate filter installed. Otherwise, this facelift is purely cosmetic, with unsurprising addition in tech gizmos.
Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.27 coefficient of drag to show for it.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi A4 Avant B9 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.

Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
Audi has really gone to town on the latest A4, with mild-hybrid tech and improved infotainment. But while it's hard to deny that the updates are almost universally positive, they don't quite provide the significant step that Jaguar has made with the revised XE. However, the A4 remains a pleasant, easy-going and spacious compact executive offering.
Pros
  • Improved infotainment tech
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Good standard equipment
Cons
  • Lacklustre handling
  • Lack of refinement
