Audi introduced the last generation of the 100 model in 1991. It was available in two body versions: the sedan, and the station wagon, also known as the Avant.

Audi created the 200 range on the same 100 lineup, but with more powerful engines and a slightly restyled bodywork to compete against Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series.

The third generation of the Audi 100 was the generation that lost its wagon version. Instead of a traditional station wagon, Audi offered a sort of hatchback, naming it the Avant. It was built on the same technical platform as the rest of the lineup, but the entire rear part of the vehicle's bodywork was changed.
