In 2019, Audi introduced a second facelift for the fifth generation of its premium medium-segment contender, the A4. It was an unusual move for the German automaker, which previously used to refresh its models only once during their models' lifetimes.

Audi refreshed the fifth generation of the A4 series in 2014, and, along with the sedan, it made some changes to the station-wagon as well.

The ninth generation of the mid-size class Audi A4 was launched in 2015 and it was the star of the Audi brand at the Frankfurt Motor Show in November of the same year.

When Audi launched the "Avant" name in the late '70s, they were talking about a mix between a hatchback and a station wagon. But over time, it became their name for the regular station wagon shapes.

AUDI A4 Avant

In the late '70s, Audi chose to name its wagon vehicles as Avant. Their bodyworks featured a raked rear-end instead of a vertical one as most of the other station-wagons on the market.

The second generation of the Audi A4 was revealed in October 2000 while the station-wagon version came-up in 2001. In the traditional Audi's naming, that version was called Avant.

The first generation of the A4 Avant was introduced in late 1995 and the sales started at the beginning of 1996. It was the station wagon version of the already known A4.
