Used Audi estate cars

Audi makes two estate models: the A4 Avant and the A6 Avant. The A4 Avant is the smaller of the two and costs less to buy. It’s a mid-size premium car that’s a rival for the BMW 3 Series Touring and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate. The A6 Avant is larger and more expensive: It’s a rival for large executive estate cars such as the BMW 5 Series Touring and Jaguar XF Sportbrake. Both models are available with a variety of engines, front- or four-wheel drive, and as Allroad models that have extra ground clearance and additional SUV-style design features.

The A4 Avant is the smaller of Audi’s estate models and costs less to buy. It’s a very practical car with a premium feel and there are a wide range of versions available. The A6 Avant costs more and is significantly larger than the A4. It has a slightly more luxurious feel inside and is one of the most spacious estate cars you can buy. The latest A6 Avant gives you 586 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place, while the A4 gives you 490 litres.

Audi has used the name ‘Avant’ for its estate car models for more than 40 years. It’s a brand name that doesn’t have a meaning as such, although it may have been inspired by the French phrase ‘en avant’, which means ‘forward’.

Audi estate cars cost about the same as equivalent BMW and Mercedes-Benz models. Although they cost more than most estate cars without a premium badge, Audi’s estate cars are well equipped and fuel-efficient and you can expect them to hold their value well.
