Much better than the sedan. Looks more sporty, dynamic.
But this is the only Avant I don't really like, the A6 is much better designed.
The rear overhang is too short/wheelbase too long, like the sedan, and I don't like how the waist line seems to decrease at the rear. It does not harmonize with the raising line of the bottom of the car.
The roof line is not clear enough either, and the windows are much bigger at the front than at the rear...
So you have the windowline slightly raising, the waistline slightly decreasing, and the "bottom" line frankly raising...
Finally, the rear looks a bit heavy, and quite sad, I really don't like this new Audi rear...
The front, like the sedan, is really good-looking though.
I much prefer the previous A4, inside and outside.
I expected more from Audi, they usually have the best looking stationwagons. The A6 is easily the better looking in its class, but this A4 isn't for me. Good-looking car, but not class-leading. |
