The AUDI A4 (2008-12) 5DR AVANT QUATTRO 3.0 TDI CR DPF 240 SE is a premium five-door estate, known in Audi’s range as the Avant. It sits among compact executive cars, offering more load space than an A4 saloon while remaining easier to park and drive than a large family SUV. With a strong diesel engine and four-wheel drive, this A4 suits motorway commuting, long journeys and family duties, especially where confident grip is welcome. It feels more powerful and sure-footed than many ordinary estates, making it a refined rival to the BMW 3 Series Touring and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate models. mycarcheck.com recorded 176 look-ups covering 75 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in this model.
