Station wagon "D" -class Audi A4 of the fifth generation (factory index "B9") debuted at the end of June 2015 on the Web (along with the sedan of the same name), and its official demonstration took place at the autumn motor show in Frankfurt ...
Having retained its recognizable appearance, the cargo-passenger model has become more technologically advanced in all directions, "threw off" more than a centner of weight and added in size.
The exterior of the "fifth" station wagon Audi A4 is decorated in the current corporate style of the German brand and all "body parts" (except for the stern, of course) repeat the three-volume - stylish lighting equipment, embossed bumpers and elegant outlines.
And due to the more massive (but not overweight) rear end, this car demonstrates a solid and practical appearance, however, not devoid of a bit of sportiness.
All the main dimensions of the Avanta practically coincide with the sedan, with the exception of some points: the length of the barn is 1 mm less, and the height is 7 mm more. For other parameters, these models have full parity in different body types: width - 1842 mm, wheelbase - 2820 mm.
The interior decoration of the 5th generation Audi A4 station wagon in terms of architecture, design, saturation with modern technologies and premium quality of performance completely repeats the three-volume "four" - a stylish "multi-steering wheel", an informative instrument cluster (as an option - a 12.3-inch display) and a presentable center console with 8.3-inch "TV" and dual-zone "climate".
The A4 Avant's salon is designed for five adult passengers: anatomical chairs with a competent profile are mounted in front, and a comfortable sofa in the back. For a fee, second-row passengers have amenities such as a separate 10.1-inch display and individual climate control.
The cargo-passenger model of the 5th generation "flaunts" the largest luggage compartment in the class - its volume in the stowed state is 505 liters, and with the back of the "gallery" folded down, it increases to 1510 liters (the platform is completely flat).
Specifications. The power range of the Audi A4 Avant in the "B9" body for the Russian market is similar to that of the sedan:
- These are petrol "fours" with turbocharging and direct injection of 1.4-2.0 liters, developing from 150 to 249 horsepower and 250 to 370 Nm of torque.
- The diesel part is formed by a 2.0-liter turbo engine, the output of which, depending on the boost, has 150-190 "horses" and 320-400 Nm of peak thrust.
In partnership with the motors, the 7-speed "robot" S tronic and front-wheel drive (with the "older" petrol version - the quattro all-wheel drive system) work.
According to the characteristics of dynamics, speed and fuel efficiency, the "four" in the station wagon "has not gone far" from the sedan of the same name. The difference with the three-volume model in acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h does not exceed 0.3 seconds, in maximum capabilities - 6 km / h, and in “appetite” - 0.2 liters (all this is in favor of the sedan, of course).
Structurally, the fifth-generation Audi A4 utility vehicle repeats the sedan: an upgraded MLB platform, an aluminum five-link suspension of both axles, an electromechanical power steering and disc brakes on all wheels.
As an option, the "German" is equipped with adaptive shock absorbers with comfortable or sporty settings, as well as a steering gear with a variable gear ratio.
