2020 Audi A4 Avant S Line (Edition One) Introducing The 2020 Audi A4 Avant is a good example of a car that benefits greatly from the aesthetic changes given to its sedan counterpart, the A4. In fact, the entire A4 family — that includes the sedan, A4 Avant, A4 Allroad, S4, and S4 Avant - just rolled into 2020 with fresh styling updates, a redesigned interior, and technological updates. This isn’t the A4 family you used to know, and, in many ways, it’s one that you’re going to have to get used to. Fortunately, that shouldn’t be a problem for the entire lineup. Audi’s plethora of upgrades for the A4 is as impressive as it is important.
Audi’s unmistakable front grille returns for another round in the 2020 Avant. It’s just not as big as it used to be, though it is wider and flatter. Why is this important? One, it takes a bit of the attention away from the grille and distributes it throughout the whole front fascia. That’s why the headlamps look as striking as they are; the grille doesn’t swallow them up anymore. The smaller grille also helps create a sportier look for the A4 Avant.
Arguably the biggest change involves the large rotary knob in the center tunnel, just in front of the gear shifter. It’s now gone. Instead, Audi decided to add a touchscreen with a host of available functions, including audible feedback. The presence of this touchscreen means that the entire A4 family, including the A4 Avant, will feature a similar two-display system that’s already available in much larger Audis, including the A5, A6, and A7. There’s a big difference in the layout, though, as the A4’s other digital display — the 10.1-inch unit — remains in its usual spot atop the dashboard. It’s a different look from what you’ll see in the larger Audi models. The good news is that the new touchscreen eliminates a lot of the hard buttons we’re normally accustomed to seeing in past A4 models. Other than the buttons and knobs that control the thermostat, the A4 Avant’s center console and tunnel look about as clean and as upscale as you can get.
Let’s move away from the front of the interior and talk about the entire space of the cabin. Audi didn’t specify the interior specs of the 2020 A4 Avant, but since the 2020 model is simply an updated version of the current A4, it’s hard to imagine any seismic shifts in the wagon’s overall interior layout. Overall, the A4 Avant isn’t lacking in space. There’s plenty of room in the front and the rear seat, including the ability to accommodate as many as two adults or there children in the latter.
The 2020 Audi A4 is loaded in the engine front. There are six turbocharged engines available to all versions of the A4, including the A4 Avant. Gas options? Sure. Diesel engines? You bet. Audi’s even throwing in a little hybrid action into the mix courtesy of a 12-volt mild hybrid electrification system or a 48-volt electric system. Audi hasn’t specified which engine will go to which version of the A4 Avant. It’s highly likely that the wagon model will share similar powertrain options with its sedan sibling. That means that we can expect a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder engine on the A4 Avant. Power outputs will vary, too, depending on the wagon’s spec, but we can at least expect those output numbers to range from 188 horsepower to 248 horsepower. Diesel engines will also be available in the A4 Avant, including the 2.0-liter four-cylinder TDI engine that produces 190 horsepower and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder TDI engine that makes 230 horsepower.
