[@23Piccolina]

Audi has lost their minds with these fake exhaust tips. I just don't understand it. Anyone who knows or cares about cars will not like such fake items. If they only have one exhaust, then use one tip. Four tips for one actual exhaust is deceptive and dishonest.

[@user-fl2ug7sr3t]

Agreed

[@christianhaugaard5853]

People must stop buying cars with fake exhaust. Otherwise it´s a never ending story

[@corneliusscipio777]

Fake exhaust and plastic every where... that's the "premium" brand. My Giulia Veloce Ti has real 2 exhaust, aluminium, carbon fiber and leather in the interior.

[@23Piccolina]

I owned the Giulia too! Loved that car! One of the best sport sedans in the world today. I agree with you, these Germans are losing their edge.

[@nap250]

Gloss black plastic interior trim, loss of horizontal character line, fake hood intake and blanked off exhaust. 1st Gen B9 far superior.

[@1979paranoidandroid]

Agreed. Also, the infotainment system with touchscreen only is a failure. You should have an option, with the MMI selection ring still present. It's much safer IMHO, as it doesn't require you to lean forward to operate the system. I had a choice to wait for the lift version or order from the last cars in the pre-lift version and I chose the latter, mainly because of the infotainment (selection ring) and also because I like the front end better in the older version.

[@nap250]

@@1979paranoidandroid... Plus the little cubby that was gained in place of the MMI wheel looks pretty useless.

Audi has to return the Avant to the U.S, no question. Thank you for your work!

[@ZVexxPlayer]

We absolutely would buy the Avant! We may be getting the RS6 Avant for 2020, Fingers crossed!

[@novideosnovideos544]

What did Audi think about when adding the fake exhaust?

[@pagefoster]

Audi has always made a great drivers car. The displays are always world class. The Avants are awesome. They would sell in smaller numbers here in the US. They are more sensible and make the car more 50-50 front to back. I agree the back reminds me of an A6. Still tasteful and classy.

[@davepaek5014]

So frustrating that we don’t even get the regular A4 wagon let alone S4 wagon!

[@grimper35]

thanks for the comprehensive review. I'm in the US so no S4 Avant for me. Very tragic.

[@Gez492]

Very nice looking Avant being a 3.0Tdi driver, I love the torque and how that can be deployed in everyday driving afterall where can you rev out the petrol engine and keep it on power. Powerful diesels are just effortless. Thomas is right, I am now thinking do I need the A6 as I think about replacing my current A6 3.0 Tdi Avant Black Edition as the S4 Avant and S6 Avant have the same power and torque. Another great review Thomas, lots to think about.

[@devalraval007]

Everything is just perfect except those fake exhausts... 😱😱😱

[@pokest225]

And the diesel engine....

[@newbeginnings8566]

And that super big stuck on infotainment screen

[@logtec1162]

New front lights are also terrible, looks like A1 now

[@bill7481]

Audi used to be my favorite German car manufacturer. They used to have subdued yet appealing designs. Their interiors used to have a nice balance of materials - leather, wood, and metal. This particular model still has that balance on the inside, but the front end of the car is just crazy. Lines for the sake of lines. Their other models are just too blend on the outside and inundated by a sea of screens and glossy black plastic inside.

[@curtisimo032]

I would buy an Avant in the US in a heartbeat

[@JuanGarcia-zq5tp]

You can, sort of with the Audi A4 Allroad.

[@TrueFilter]

Yeah but only if it was cheap as shit. You wouldn't buy one at euro prices.

[@FrankCrow]

@@JuanGarcia-zq5tp That's exactly what I did. I previously owned three A6 Wagons and was hoping Audi would bring them back. I got tired of waiting and bought an A4 Allroad. The A6 wagons are much nicer IMO.

[@JuanGarcia-zq5tp]

@@FrankCrow They also have the A6 Allroad now and the A6 Avant only in the RS6 trim. Of course good luck at over $100 grand.

[@FrankCrow]

@@JuanGarcia-zq5tp yeah, the "race wagon" RS6 is sadly very far from my budget. I think that I will be looking at an A6 Allroad in a couple years though.

[@tonyrowley9126]

Another great vehicle from Audi. If it was available here in the States, I would buy it in a heartbeat. However if I had to choose between the Audi and the BMW 5 series wagon, I would take the BMW. Nice job again Thomas as usual. Regards, Tony R

[@Hiluxtaco]

Yes. Audi Avant's did sell here in the US in the past. They simply sold more sedans than wagons. So, they stopped selling them after the 2012 model year. But, many people have asked Audi to bring them back, so it may happen some day in the near future...

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

I wanted to buy an S4 Avant but since it’s not available in the US, I settled for an S3 sedan until Audi came to their senses.

[@SkipperV40]

G'day Autogefuhl! Excellent commentary, the reviews are comprehensive and detailed as they have always been. Really enjoyable to watch. Keep the excellent work going! And yes, Audi, what is with the fake exhausts?!

[@Mattias12345671]

I think they really improved the exterior with this facelift, especially the front and taillights. Agressive design overall, looks more "Audi" than the previous one, IMO.

[@KazuyaFin]

Imo pre-facelift looks better.

[@bigplumppenguin]

Avant for US market please!!

[@Hercegovac.1]

Will Chan Agree 👍

[@johanjonsson]

Agreed. I would order one right away.

[@midnighthoon788]

I live in Mexico Merida Yucatan. And here the A4 is only in sedan version. I love the Audi avant models. Maybe because I am Romanian.

[@holla5263]

Audi are mad to remove the jog wheel and replace with only touch screen

[@fatih.tavukcu]

For the ones that are forced to go with diesel engines in their company cars, this car is a real gift. Am truly looking forward to it. Do you have any idea when the cars will be available for customers Thomas?

[@autogefuehl]

Orders should start now, at dealers in a couple of months

[@piotrmaciejklima2434]

Thomas, how do you compare the handling of S4 with BMW M340i and general fun from drive, as these will be pretty close competitors?

[@kensouza9239]

[@bondisteve3617]

Another nice presentation. Thanks Thomas. Again these German cars...phew!

[@kevinn1158]

I think this exterior design has no edge. That broken side character line is strange and those black outlined fake front corner vents are outright ugly. Also, the fake vent between the bonnet and front bumper is awful as well. Come to think of it, this car is full of fake design cues isn't it? Very American of you Audi. (That wasn't a complement.) Nice review though, Thomas always entertaining and I'm glad that person trying to exit the highway at the last minute didn't side swipe you Thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers kev!

[@jeffs6090]

It would be nice to have the cup holders moved back. They are still right under the dash and that row of buttons. For us here in the states, our large drinks don't really fit well within them. The top of the cup hits the buttons and makes it sit crooked and not fully in the cupholder.

[@autogefuehl]

Good point

[@levik13]

Does it have folding mirrors?

[@kentech1179]

Good review as usual, but Audi is really lost with design now. Side profile, especially on the sedan, looks really wrong now, like they forgot some old doors on a new model. Also the fake "quattro" vent on the front looks so wrong. The new style led drl they use on all new models look messy as well. No proper design direction, just seems they are desperate to change something. Better be boring but with quality (like they used to) than desperately trying to add "emotion" to the design or whatever they call it. They need a change of design direction.

[@lasersailor6684]

I live in the US and I’d buy the Avant in a heartbeat. Audi, really, are you sure the Avant wouldn’t sell over here?

Great facelift by Audi.A very practical car , when you're going somewhere with the family or by yourself. Love the sound of that engine ,even though it's a 6 cylinder it sounds like a V-8. Good interior too. Love your driving through the beautiful scenery. What's the cost of this in Germany Thomas? Detailed review as always, Ciao !!!

I really enjoy your channel, every review is brilliant! I have a question about this review, this S4 is having the "dynamic steering" included? Is having this option better for regular driving feeling (in combination with the sport suspension and sport rear differentia)l? Thank you!

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

[@autogefuehl]

The steering is more progressive then, it’s good

[@gregsimpson9391]

Looks and sounds impressive. I am looking to replace my A6 avant (its a little too big) which has the biturbo diesel with the new S4 diesel. I wait with interest to compare the response of this motor compared to my A6. Fake exhausts - sack the accountants - I would almost go for an RS4 just to avoid this sort of nonsense - especially if the petrol version is the only option we get in Oceania.

[@seb.]

They should have kept the rotary controller (in addition to touchscreen) 13:17 that's super laggy, many gestures we ignored

It's very untrue to say that Americans won't buy wagons! Not only do E-350 wagons (and Subaru Outback/Forester) sell like hot cakes but any Audi wagons from the past in good shape are worth a fortune! Americans have plenty of appetite for wagons. Audi wants to sell their made-in-Mexico Q5s and have just made up the back story IMO.

[@richardbixler]

US owner of a 2011 A4 Avant here. Sadly, there’s still a stupid stigma of wagons and minivans only being for moms. I think that is changing, and if car companies marketed wagons as a sporty alternative to SUV’s they would have a lot more sales. Also, the performance versions of cars have almost never been available in wagon form. Take my Audi A4 Avant for example, there was no S4 wagon for 2011. It’s a failure in marketing and options more than lack of demand imo.
