 July next will see the arrival into Ireland of the new Audi A4 Avant - replacement version of a model already established as the best selling estate in the luxury segment in Ireland with annual sales hovering around the 200 units mark.Boasting a largest-in-class load area - expandable from 490 litres up to 1,430 litres - the new A4 Avant will be available in the same choice of models with the same specifications and same engine range available in the A4 Saloon. Additional features include roof rails, 60/40 split folding rear seat and a 12-volt socket located in the luggage area. Access to the carpet lined load area can be facilitated by the optional powered tailgate. Loads can be secured using the standard luggage net and tie-down straps or with the extra-cost telescopic bar and securing belt system first seen in the A6 Avant. A new generation of engines will power the new Avant, notable for their improved economy and reduced use of fuel. As with the A4 saloon, they consist of two petrol units and three common rail TDI diesel units. Petrol versions are a 1.8-litre TFSI of 120bhp and 160bhp output and a 265bhp 3.2-litre FSI. Diesel units include the high-volume 2.0-litre TDI, 143bhp unit plus two V6 units of 2.7-litre TDI, 190bhp and 3.0-litre TDI, 240bhp capacity. High-spec SE and Sport models also form part of the new A4 Avant programme. With its distinctive Audi front grille, the new A4 Avant has a more sporty appearance, due mainly to styling heavily influenced by the new A5. Six-speed manual, Multitronic, and six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and quattro permanent four-wheel-drive forms part of the product offering, as does Audi's acclaimed MMI operating system and automatic air conditioning with three-zone control. Other innovative technologies include Audi Drive Select by which the operating characteristics of the engine can be adjusted, and Audi dynamic steering that can be used to vary steering ratios according to road speed. These are available as optional extras. In price terms, each new A4 Avant will carry a premium of e2,400 over the equivalent A4 saloon. |
