Audi A4 Avant 2024 caught

Fifth generation Audi A4 tested for spying, wearing production lights and less camouflage than ever before.

Once again, it was tracked in the guise of an Avant wagon. We have yet to see a prototype of a new one convertible A4and the new generation has been rumored to be only for wagons, with the next generation A5 sports solve the problem for buyers who prefer the three-box shape.

While the sedan can be cut, the hot variant is not. Audi is known for its high-performance wagons and the next-generation A4 is set to go into hot production S4 and RS4 variations as before.

Given the current generation A4 debuted in 2015 and was upgraded in 2019, and the fact that these prototypes have appeared in development, the reveal of the new generation is likely to take place in the future. this year.

The next A4 is said to get an available plug-in hybrid powertrain, joining the existing lineup of petrol and diesel engines.

A high-performance plug-in hybrid powertrain could appear on the next RS4, likely a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 PHEV.

While rival Mercedes-Benz has switched to a full four-cylinder powertrain lineup for its rival Grade product line and its AMG variants, Audi can continue to offer the number 6 for its performance models as BMW has done.

Revolutionary styling, in the tradition of Audi. The shape of the grille and headlights are quite similar, although the front bumper has sharp diagonal creases that extend to the headlights and the air intakes are more vertically oriented.

The greenhouse looks quite similar to the current car, as does the sloping tailgate. The Audi designers didn’t rock the boat.

Previous photos have revealed the wider A4 series will continue to use a large, tablet-style, horizontally oriented central touchscreen, which will now include climate control.

The next A4, S4 and RS4 are expected to use an updated version of the existing MLB Evo platform and could be the last model to feature an internal combustion engine.

Audi is planning to stop selling internal combustion engine cars outside China in 2033.

The A4 isn’t the only Volkswagen Group offering rumored to be exclusively for carriages in the next generation.

The Volkswagen Passat sedan has been discontinued and the next-generation mid-size sedan is said to not offer a three-box body style.

While that may seem unusual – the only body style that seems to be less common than sedans in Australia these days is a wagon – wagons account for the largest share of Passat sales in its home market of Germany. .

The lack of a sedan could mark the end of the A4 in the US market, but the brand’s commitment to wagon models here could give it a more stable footing even as crossovers. has become the brand’s best-selling product to some extent.

Audi scrapped the A4 allroad and the larger A6 allroad, its UK showroom mate last year but committed to continue supplying these models in Australiacall them important incremental models.

The company sold just 535 examples of the wider A4 range in Australia by 2022, including premium off-road wagons, just over the 387 examples it sold of the relevant A5 Sportback.

In contrast, BMW sold 2,818 units 3 Lines and Mercedes-Benz sold 3566 C-Class cars.
