Audi have been highly successful at carving out a niche for their RS cars, and nowhere are they more dominant than in the estate or ‘Avant’ arena with the Audi RS4. The combination of their excellent Quattro system, torquey turbocharged engines, aggressive modern styling and everyday usability have put them firmly at the top of the pile. The level of build quality, design & refinement of this latest generation is quite astonishing and truly puts the car up there with the best in the business when it comes to this type of vehicle. The RS4 is an extremely versatile and capable car, with enough space to fit the family and plenty of luggage for a trip. In contrast, there is more than enough power to eat up the tarmac on a spirited Sunday drive when you are feeling more adventurous. No matter what you throw at the RS4, it will take it and then some - with plenty of technology and smart German engineering to keep you safe, comfortable, and perhaps a little humbled at times.

The RS4 is powered by a 2.9L Twin-Turbo V6, the benefits of which have been proven with the pre-facelift. Power is still at a strong 444 bhp, with a combined mpg of 28.5. The practicality of the RS4 combined with the powerful and efficient engine really makes this one of the best estates in this price bracket.

The Carbon Black edition of the RS4 takes the standard up a notch, reducing weight by applying carbon fibre to several exterior components like the front spoiler and rear diffuser. New 20" Evo Style wheels in gloss black give the car a meaner presence on the road, as well as helping further reduce weight. Several gloss black painted features adorn the Carbon Black edition, making it a worthy upgrade to elevate your RS4 to new stealthy heights.
