The Audi A4 Avant got a notable exterior makeover and a couple new engines for 2005. Cosmetic changes include a new grille and taillights. As for the powertrains, you now get to choose between 2.0 L, 200 hp I4 and 3.1 L, 255 hp V6 models. Both trims have all wheel drive.
Audi labels the I4 trim as the 2.0T quattro and the V6 trim as the 3.2 quattro. The 3.2 quattro has 6 speed Tiptronic automatic transmission while the 2.0T gives you your pick between 6 speed manual and Tiptronic automatic transmission. The 2.0T quattro gets you 22 mpg in the city while the 3.2 gets you 18 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway. Both trims have 4 doors, seat 5, and 27.8 cubic feet of cargo space.
Overall, drivers like the A4 Avant's affordability, quality materials, and solid handling. While some critics would like a little more interior room, most people recommend this higher-end wagon. Consider the A4 Avant if you don't want to spend a lot to get a lot.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are quite pleased with the 2005 Audi A4 Avant. They appreciate its solid handling, comfort, fuel economy, and stylish interior. However, some have expressed dissatisfaction with performance, especially regarding power, as well as maintenance costs. The car is seen as practical for families, though features like folding mirrors and enhanced power options would have been welcomed."
So far great little wagon for city and out of town trips. We bought it with little over 100k miles from used car dealer coupe weeks ago. Runs Great no problems. Requires Premium GAs and synthetic oil due to turbo engine. So far I'm very pleased with it.

October 6, 2009great handling and road feel, fit and finish are perfect. This little car has saved my butt on many an icy road where SUV's were in the ditch I drove right on by. I will never drive another car without quattro while living in the hinterlands.
June 6, 2008Comfortable, stylish interior. Fast and handles like it's on rails, does not move off line cornering! Decent on gas. Awesome car.
April 16, 2008I didn't have the option for a 2001 Audi A4 Avant 1.8t Quattro. It's a very nice car, easy to shift, clutch is smooth and the lowering springs help out the suspension quite a bit, they eliminate body roll fairly well. Great car though I love it.
October 2, 2009Packed with loads of engineering, however the stock turbo+manifold is lacking..planning on adding a bigger turbo and a german aftermarket manifold. Got 19"x8" AVS Model 7 gunmetal rimz and Kumho tires.
June 10, 2008Not terribly fast; however, it is an overall nice package. It stops well, and handles extremely well for it's size and weight. Interior styling is not amazing, but the quality is awesome. More than I could have hoped for, for a first car.
October 20, 2009This car is great, is is missing some things I would have like, folding mirrors, satellite radio. Other than that a great car!!
September 11, 2020Very solid , well balanced vehicle. Undoubtedly very successful with fleet managers.
