The latest S4 Avant switched its N/A V8 engine with a supercharged V6.
Sharing its base with the new Audi A5 Coupe (Audi Modular Longitudinal Platform), the new S4 Avant was hailed by the critics with better stability and improved weight distribution. This was possible thanks to the reduced front overhang and rearwards position of the powertrain. The new model featured a longer wheelbase than its previous generation Avant (with 117 mm) - as well as lightweight steel components - and was fitted with plenty of new technological features: MMI system, Servotronic steering or electronic park brake.
