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.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
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.
Pros
  • Best-in-class infotainment system
  • Quattro 4WD
Cons
  • Lack of fun factor
