What features does the Audi A4 Avant have?

An A4 Avant for sale comes with a healthy selection of features as standard including 18-inch alloy wheels, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a digital gauge cluster, leather seats and ISOFIX child seat points. 

As you move up the model range, they offer even more for your money with extras such as an uprated Bang & Olufsen sound system, Matrix LED headlights and a 360-degree parking camera. 

All this means it’s the perfect four-wheeled companion for longer motorway slogs, especially with all the added tech.
