Price Range: £23,300 to £33,850

Assets

Good-looking; attractive interior; turbo petrol engines.

A great drive with the right suspension and steering set-ups, rather nondescript otherwise.

Audi A4 Avant Review

Running Costs3 out of 5

Service intervals are up to 19,000 miles in some models, as announced by an on-board indicator. Fuel economy is good given the engines' performance; the 1.8 TFSI returns 32.7mpg, the 3.2 FSI 25.9mpg, the 2.0 TDI (140bhp) 41.3mpg and 3.0 TDI Quattro 33mpg, for example (with some variance according to transmission choice).

Carbon dioxide outputs for these models are 172g/km, 216g/km, 149/km and 188g/km respectively; while these models won't incur Band G tax and the £25-a-day London congestion charge, there's still some high tax bandings here.
