Product Overview

Audi RS 4 Avant B9 (Type 8W) facelift is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2019. It is available with a single bi-turbo V6 engine that displaced 2.9 liters.
Essentially powered by the same drivetrain found in the S6 Avant, the B9 RS 4 Avant remains similar to the pre-facelift model. The main difference comes in minor cosmetic updates and the compliance to Euro 6d nonsense.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi RS 4 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.

The Audi RS 4 Avant combines serious straight-line performance with unrivalled all-weather, cross-country ability. It features a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 that packs 444bhp, an eight-speed Tiptronic auto box, the ubiquitous quattro four-wheel drive and a chassis that's been developed by Audi Sport. With a price tag that's north of £60,000, it's the halo model for the entire Audi A4 range.

There are two new wheel designs; the 19-inch rims are standard, 20-inch alloys are optional. A new 10.1-inch infotainment display sits on top of the dash, and the old car's click wheel has been ditched in favour of a touchscreen. Prices for the updated Audi start at £64,400.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The latest Audi RS 4 really kicks, even though it may look – and go – quite a lot like the previous model. Subtle styling changes have made this 2020 edition look meaner, yet cleaner than ever. As standard, the RS 4 costs £64,625, but with all the upgrades the price of ‘my’ car rises to £81,625.

Pros
  • Powerful twin-turbo V6

Cons
  • Poor fuel consumption
  • Not the most fun to drive
