The sophisticated black interior and digital racing-style cockpit underscores the sporty character of the Audi RS 4 Avant. The Audi virtual cockpit and optional head-up display, RS-specific displays indicate to the driver the g-force, tire pressures and torque.
The quattro drive, which comes as standard, distributes the power of the V6 biturbo to all four wheels, creating a smooth, yet powerful driving experience. The standard-fit RS sport suspension sets the Audi RS 4 Avant another seven millimetres lower than an Audi A4 with sport suspension.
