Powered by a 450ps, 600Nm 2.9-liter V6

The new Audi RS 4 Avant is equipped with a 2.9-liter TFSI V6 twin-turbo engine, producing a maximum output of 331kW (450ps) and a peak torque of 600Nm between 1,900 and 5,000rpm. This represents a significant increase of 170Nm in maximum torque compared to the previous RS 4 Avant. Power is delivered to the quattro all-wheel-drive system via an 8-speed tiptronic transmission.

This results in a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 250km/h. With the optional RS dynamic package, the top speed can be increased to 280km/h, befitting a top model in the A4 family.

Meanwhile, the new European combined fuel economy (NEDC) is 8.8ℓ/100km (approximately 11.4km/ℓ), with CO2 emissions of 199g/km, marking a 17 percent improvement in fuel efficiency over the previous model. The vehicle's weight, atPrevious model1,790kg, is 80kg lighter than the previous generation, which is believed to have contributed to these figures.

The suspension features standard RS suspension, lowering the ride height by 7mm compared to the normal "A4" (with sports suspension). Additionally, optional features include the high-performance Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) RS sport suspension plus, ceramic brakes, and dedicated dynamic steering.

Audi exclusive Accommodates Finer Requests

The exterior of the new RS 4 Avant projects a sharp image with RS-specific honeycomb pattern air intakes, a single-frame grille, and "quattro blisters" that widen the wheel arches by 30mm. The rear is characterized by an RS-exclusive diffuser insert, oval exhaust pipes, and a roof spoiler, creating a distinctive style.

The "Nogaro Blue Pearl Effect" body color is reminiscent of the first RS 4 Avant from 1999 and is available as an option from "Audi exclusive." The wheels are standard 19-inch, with 20-inch wheels available as an option.

The interior is unified in a sharp black, reflecting the car's character. The RS sport seats, flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, shift gate, and illuminated door trims feature RS emblems. The Audi Virtual Cockpit and head-up display incorporate RS-specific designs and functions, enabling the display of G-force, tire pressure, and torque values.

A variety of styling packages are available, including gloss black finish, carbon finish with aluminum attachments, and carbon finish with black attachments, expanding customization possibilities. Furthermore, a key feature of the new model is the ability to accommodate special customer requests through "Audi exclusive."

Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Audi Sport, stated, "The new RS 4 Avant perfectly blends immense power with everyday usability. In the Chinese market, it is the only high-performance Avant in its segment and will serve as a new driving force, guiding Audi towards further growth." He expressed great anticipation for the new model.
