S4 Avant too expensive? These station wagons are worth considering

I don't know if there are any friends like me, who have a unique love for the small car type of station wagon. This has not been rumored recently that audi S4 Avant may be introduced into the country, which makes me uneasy inside, but looking at the terminal price of the domestic sedan version of S4, I can basically guess that the price of S4 Avant will not be too beautiful. So in addition to the S4 Avant, is there any more cost-effective station wagon worth considering? Today, let's take stock of three models for everyone!

Volkswagen CC hunting vehicle

Rationale: Affordable

Price: 25.69~299,900 yuan

When it comes to the most cost-effective wagons for the joint venture brand, the FAW-Volkswagen CC's hunting car can definitely occupy a position. Since it is cost-effective, the price must be a prerequisite element, considering that the current domestic CC series has a preferential force of nearly 30,000 yuan, so the most entry-level 330TSI hunting version, the actual price of bare cars is less than 230,000. Even if it is the 380TSI Hunting Wind Edition with the top of the series, the price of the naked car after the discount can hit around 270,000, which is really affordable for a B-class top-equipped station wagon.

Then the Volkswagen CC hunting edition in addition to the price advantage, the appearance value is also favored by many consumers. The model itself tends to be a sneaky design, which will be a little different from the "big ass" style of the traditional station wagon, but the smoother lines naturally reflect the more sporty and fashionable side of this model. Coupled with the combination of frameless doors, it also makes its coupe style fully revealed.

However, it is slightly controversial that the domestic CC hunting version is more like a crossover station wagon to be precise, because in terms of body height, including the design of the wheel eyebrows, it has done some off-road orientation, which is obviously to meet more users from the starting point, but for wagon enthusiasts, it seems a bit redundant.

Audi A4 Avant

Rationale: Luxury brand

Price: 35.98 ~ 401,800 yuan

If you don't have the money to buy the S4 Avant, you can also buy an A4 Avant. The most "affordable" station wagon for luxury brands, I think there is no more suitable model than the A4 Avant. As the traditional luxury brand with the largest discount, the terminal price of the entry-level A4 Avant is less than 330,000, which has certain advantages in the mainstream BBA joint venture B-class car, not to mention that the A4 Avant also has a full import identity.

Of course, in addition to the price and brand, the advantages of the A4 Avant are also reflected in the styling and configuration level. The blackened grille, new wheels and more beautiful colors are what the A4 Avant wants to distinguish from the traditional A4 car, especially the relatively harmonious rear shape, not only does not have any sense of violation, but even the sense of sport is stronger than the traditional car model.

As for the configuration level, the "invisible" places are equipped with five-link independent suspension and ventilated brake discs. The practical aspects such as keyless entry/start-up, power trunk, panoramic sunroof, seat heating and individual air conditioning in the rear are all available, which is very rich.

However, the A4 Avant is not so versatile, the power and drive form is probably its relative disadvantage, the whole series is 2.0T low power plus front drive, want high power and four-wheel drive must have Allroad. In addition, although the comprehensive configuration of the A4 Avant is not bad, it is a pity that the more practical seat memory and the power folding function of the rearview mirror are not available in the whole series.

Volvo V60

Reason: Low-key and introverted

Price: 30.43~395,800 yuan

The station wagon itself is already a niche enough choice, and the Volvo Touring is a niche among the niche, not that Volvo is bad, but precisely because most consumers will prefer SUV models to V60s when buying Volvo. In fact, whether it is the history of the Volvo wagon or its shape, it can be said to be a very representative European station wagon benchmark.

The current V60 station wagon in style is obviously very different from other brands with streamlined design, and the harder lines convey not only the design ideas of Volvo's new generation of models, but also the expansion of space demand for station wagons.

Interestingly, Volvo is really a more "alternative" brand, as a station wagon, the V60 not only achieves the basic principle of "big", but it is really not vain at all at the configuration level. The front suspension of the double wishbones, the front and rear are equipped with ventilated brake discs, the whole series of active and passive safety systems, and the adaptive cruise except for the entry model, which can really be described as a large full match to describe the V60.

Therefore, if you really have to find out some of the shortcomings of the V60, you can probably only barely make up two points. First of all, the V60, like the A4 Avant, is a front-drive and does not have a four-wheel drive layout. Second, now Volvo opened the direct operation mode, simply put, it is a price, although the current V60 guidance price is 40,000 cheaper than the old model, but without the 4S store "bargaining" link, there may be consumers will inevitably be lost. As for the rest, it's really pretty perfect.

Write at the end:

The above three station wagons are the three models that Xiaobian believes are the most worth considering in the price range of 200,000 to 400,000. Regardless of the appearance, configuration or preferential strength, these three models have their own advantages, as for the lack of some small details, it is a matter of opinion, depending on the needs of consumers. But for xiaobian, I am still willing to be a party of waiting, on the one hand, I want to see how much the S4 Avant sells, on the other hand, I also want to wait to see the BMW 330i station wagon that may or may be introduced.
