Audi in China
The Chinese market has particular strategic importance for Audi. That’s why Audi cooperates with two partners to produce locally in addition to developing market-specific technologies and managing sales of its vehicles directly in the market.
The front of the RS 4 Avant stands for uncompromising sportiness. The RS 4 Avant differs significantly from the A4 and S4 Avant*. The Singleframe is wider and flatter than on the base model. Like its big RS brothers the RS 6 Avant* and the RS 7 Sportback*, the RS 4 Avant also features the RS-typical, three-dimensional honeycomb structure in glossy black. The frameless Singleframe creates a sporty look that is stripped down to the essentials. The honeycomb grille with an RS 4 badge is installed directly in the bumper with the large side air intakes and vertical flaps. The optional matrix LED headlights with darkened bezels complete the face of the high-performance Avant and differentiate it within the A4 family. Compared to the Audi A4 Avant*, the wheel arches with the quattro blisters above are 30 mm (1.2 in.) wider on both sides in the front and rear.
