Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers' opinions of the A4 Avant vary. While some are apathetic to its recently redesigned styling cues, others are excited. None, however, hate it.

• "Moving the front wheels forward, along with a 6.6-inch stretch in wheelbase and a two-inch-wider track, imparts the A4 Avant with nearly perfect proportions. Indeed, the A4 Avant is a truly beautiful car. The A4's aggressive new front end, with its 14-LED eyeliner, butch intake apertures, and mini-Dagmars at the lower end of the bumper, looks particularly good on the wagon." -- Car and Driver
• "The new A4 styling nicely fits the Avant, its so-called 'tornado line' beginning on the front fenders just above the headlamps and gently breaking downward just short of the taillamps. The rear end isn't as sporty and distinctive as past A4 Avants. Now it looks more grown-up, like an A6 Avant." -- Motor Trend
• "Outside, the new, slightly sleeker styling drew absolutely no attention, except for one very appealing gimmick: Beneath each headlight, there's a swooping string of 14 little white LED lights that, even in the daytime, look like jewels. A motorcyclist, stopped in front of us at a traffic light, just turned around and stared.  ... It would have been nice had Audi stylists stretched a little more on the exterior design, but if that's the worst complaint I have about the car -- and it is -- then this has to be considered a very successful makeover." -- Orlando Sentinel
• "The A4 Avant is as aerodynamic as the previous-generation A4 sedan, and while wagons aren't as slick as sedans, wind noise is absent." -- New Car Test Drive
