Audi A4 Avant - predatory wagon

Every new generation of any Audi model is a masterpiece. And not only in terms of design, but also on the technical side, as well as materials. It is this approach combined with excellent build quality and brought Audi forward in comparison with other manufacturers. Since the early 70's, the German company has a cult model Audi 80, which in the early 90's became A4.

Each new generation of the latest model was accompanied by the release of the station wagon, which received the name Audi A4 Avant. Its advantages, in comparison with competitors, were tremendous dynamic characteristics that got from the sedan, combined with ergonomics, style and practicality. Popularity did not come immediately. This is due to the fact that the first generation Audi A4 Avant was launched in 1996, 2 years after the premiere of the sedan. The fact is that the operation showed that this is a good, reliable, dynamic car, so the sedans were bought at once very much, and the market was just full, in general, the station wagon simply did not have enough space in these spaces. But the company took into account this error, the next generation Audi A4 Avant came out with sedans and coupe. Thus, the buyer immediately received the right to choose.

The beginning of the era of the A4 was at a time when the car bodies were completely galvanized, so corrosion was never a problem. The car Audi A4 received a fine paintwork, which was given a guarantee for a period of three years.

On the technical side, too, everything is in order. Turbodiesels of 1.9 liters accompanied this car almost the entire production history: from 1996 to 2008, when they were replaced by 2-liter. Naturally, the power of the first for 12 years changed, but their reliability remained unchanged. In addition, it was 1.9 TDI that set the record of expense in its class. For 100 kilometers this engine required 6.9 liters, with an average capacity of 110 "horses".

In general, the Audi A4 Avant powertrain range is useless to list, because there were so many of them that one list, without descriptions, would take several pages. Therefore, consider the most popular. Diesels, we have already touched, so we will not touch them any more. Immediately it is worthwhile to say that all the mentioned units were installed on all-wheel drive equipment Quattro. In the first generation, the undisputed leader was 2.4 V6, which developed 165 horsepower. It was a dynamic option at an affordable price. In addition, the consumption of 9.4 liters was clearly one of the advantages of this motor.

The second generation has won its popularity thanks to the 2-liter inline "quartet". It produced 130 horsepower. The company preferred a 2.4-row four-cylinder unit from the V6, so the buyers lost interest in it, because it gave out the same one hundred and thirty horsepower.

Then the glory went to a similar 2-liter engine, which was installed on the Audi A4 Avant. Reviews say that two hundred and eleven "horses" of power make the car almost fly. On the quality of talking and not worth it. In general, throughout the history of production Audi A4 Avant always had a trump card in his sleeve that could beat almost any card of competitors.
