Whether it is a station wagon with perfect integration of appearance and practicality, or a performance car that dresses up as a pig and eats a tiger, it is not hot in the domestic market, or even very unpopular, and has been in an embarrassing situation of applauseing and not calling for seats, so that many car companies do not introduce such cars, resulting in fewer and fewer domestic station wagons and performance cars.
However, it is very fortunate that Audi, as a first-line luxury brand in China, has always adhered to the original intention of meeting the needs of users, and has always introduced the models that consumers like without reservation, such as Audi A4 Avant, Audi A4 allroad, Audi A6 allroad and other station wagons, Audi S4, Audi S5 and Audi S6 performance cars, which are the models that fans are talking about.
Recently, a piece of Audi S4 Avant domestic "vehicle sales confirmation form" was exposed on the Internet, causing many netizens to pay attention, if the information is true, this means that Audi will introduce the S4 Avant model for the first time, further reducing the threshold of "performance crock pots" and meeting the car purchase needs of some groups.
At present, only the Audi S4 Limousine sedan version is on sale in China, which is the most cost-effective performance sedan at present, and it is also the cheapest car with a 3.0T V6 engine that consumers can buy, with a maximum power of 354 horsepower, a peak torque of 500 Nm, a transmission system matching an 8-speed manual transmission, and equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system with a mechanical torque differential, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 4.7 seconds.
And this code-named EA839 CWG engine, the modification potential is huge, a little brush program, change some hardware, horsepower easily reached 500 horses, into the 3-second club without pressure. In the future, the introduction of domestic Audi S4 Avant will most likely continue this powertrain.
In terms of appearance, from the official picture of the overseas version, the front face of the Audi S4 Avant is basically consistent with the Audi S4, the hexagonal grille, the interior is filled with honeycomb shape, and the logo of "S4" is marked in the upper right corner, further showing the identity of the sport. On both sides are sharp headlight groups, and equipped with matrix light lamp features.
The side is the biggest highlight of the Audi S4 Avant, which eliminates the compact proportions of the sedan behind the B-pillar, and instead extends the lines as far back as possible to achieve the elegant and attractive body of the Audi RS 4.
In addition, to distinguish it from the Audi A4 Avant, the new car is also equipped with a silver exterior mirror case, which is the hallmark of Audi's high-performance family, as well as a larger two-tone sports wheel with four-piston calipers painted in red.
In terms of interior, the overall layout is consistent with the Audi S4, equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, a 10.1-inch suspension central control large screen, a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel and a yacht-style gear shift mechanism, although it is not very eye-catching, but the sense of technology is very strong. At the same time, in order to emphasize the sportiness, it is equipped with sports seats, and the materials are mostly made of fur and carbon fiber.
Finally, in terms of price, the domestic current Audi S4 guidance price of 480,800 yuan, under normal circumstances, Avant models will be a little more expensive than Limousine models, like imported Audi A4 Avant are more than the domestic Audi A4L starting price of more than 50,000 yuan, plus Audi A4 allroad price is 428,800 yuan.
The Audi S4 Avant with stronger performance and more sporty appearance is at least more expensive than 100,000 yuan, but it cannot be higher than the Audi A6 allroad with a starting price of 581,800 yuan, so the buyer predicts that the Audi S4 Avant will be priced at about 520,000 yuan.

At present, in the performance station wagon market, the selectivity is still relatively small, in addition to the Audi S4 Avant that may be introduced, the positioning is relatively close to the Mercedes AMG C 43 4MATIC touring sedan, but its price is as high as 653,800 yuan, the cost performance is not high, because more than 100,000 can buy the performance of the more explosive Audi RS 4, if it is how will you choose?
Overall, although the wagon and performance car market is relatively unpopular, Audi has always insisted, which is one of the reasons why Audi can become a first-line luxury brand in China.
