Is the Audi RS4 Avant quattro a good first car?

Although the model has a vast amount of standard safety and driver assistance systems that will make it safe and easy to pilot for a first-time car owner, the initial purchase price might be a bit out of reach for most.

What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer’s opinion

There are no two ways about it; the RS4 grips and hugs the road like few others. The Quattro system ensures that there’s more grip available that you would want at reasonable speeds and you would have to get rather foolish behind the wheel to reach the limits of adhesion.

What is the Audi RS4 Avant quattro like inside? 

Spacious and premium are two words that come to mind first. The cabin provides five comfortable seats with ample, shoulder-, leg- and headroom. In addition, customers have access to a 495-litre boot. As can be expected from such a premium vehicle, the interior is clad with soft and supple leather with a honeycomb stitch pattern. In areas such as the door cards, Alcantara can also be found. Finally, a few areas such as the dashboard and the centre console are finished in carbon fibre for that added sporty feel and of course to save weight.

 

Style

The Audi RS4 Avant quattro sees a few elements that set it apart from non-RS Avant models. These elements include the flared wheel arches, aggressive bumper designs and the three slats at the front of the bonnet that harks back to Audi’s racing heritage. Similarly, the interior styling is dialled to eleven with the unique contrast stitching, premium materials and RS-specific trim pieces such as the carbon fibre dashboard inlay and centre console.
