Each new generation of any Audi model is a masterpiece. And not only in terms of design, but also from the technical side, as well as materials. It is this approach, combined with excellent build quality, that has put Audi ahead of other manufacturers. From the early 70s, the German company had the iconic Audi 80, which became the A4 in the early 90s.

Each new generation of the latest model was accompanied by the release of the station wagon, which was called the Audi A4 Avant. Its advantages, compared with competitors, are the amazing dynamic performance that came from the sedan, combined with ergonomics, style and practicality. Popularity did not come immediately. This is due to the fact that the first generation of the Audi A4 Avant was put into production 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 a lot of sedans were bought at once, and the market was simply saturated, in general, the station wagon simply did not have enough space in these open spaces. But the company took into account this mistake, the next generations of the Audi A4 Avant came out with sedans and coupes. Thus, the buyer immediately received the rightselection.

The beginning of the A4 era was at a time when car bodies were fully galvanized, so corrosion was never a problem. The Audi A4 received a beautiful paint job that came with a three-year warranty.

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

In general, it is useless to list the range of Audi A4 Avant power units, because there were so many of them that one list, without descriptions, would take several pages. Therefore, consider the most popular. We have already touched on diesel engines, so we will not touch them anymore. It should be said right away that all the mentioned units were installed on Quattro all-wheel drive configurations. In the first generation, the undisputed leader was the 2.4 V6, which developed 165 horsepower. It was a dynamic option for a reasonable price. In addition, the consumption of 9.4 liters was clearly one of the advantages of this motor.

The second generation gained its popularity thanks to the 2-liter inline "four". She gave out 130 horsepower. The company preferred from V6 2, 4-row unit withfour cylinders, causing buyers to lose interest in it because it produced 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. It's not worth talking about quality. In general, throughout the history of production, the Audi A4 Avant has always had an ace up its sleeve, which could beat almost any card of competitors.
