Work continues on the 2024 Audi A4 Avant as spy photographers have snapped another prototype undergoing testing.
Dressed in traditional swirly camouflage, the redesigned wagon sports a new front end that features a slimmer grille with three-dimensional honeycomb mesh inserts. It resides above a trapezoidal intake, which features horizontal bars as well as a pronounced sensor unit.
Elsewhere, we can see an angular bumper that helps to channel air into a set of vertical side intakes. Above are evolutionary headlights, which are slightly slimmer and more rounded than their predecessors.

Moving further back, we can see a streamlined body that features an angular shoulder line and an upward sweeping beltline. They’re joined by minimalist door handles and a gently sloping roof.
Don’t expect any surprises towards the rear end, where the only highlight might possibly be the new LED taillights, with the test car here using a set of temporary units instead. The rear window appears to be slightly more rakish too. We can also see a new bumper with vertical reflectors.
Spy photographers haven’t gotten a look inside yet, but the cabin will presumably follow in the footsteps of recent models such as the A3 and Q4 e-tron. As a result, we can likely expect an edgier design that puts a greater emphasis on technology. We also wouldn’t be surprised to find a new steering wheel, a minimalist shifter, and modern switchgear.
Specifications remain a mystery, but the car is expected to ride on an updated version of the current MLB platform. Reports have also suggested we can expect an assortment of powertrains including petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid options. Little is known about them, but rumors have suggested the company’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder may offer improved performance as well as better throttle response at low speeds.
Unfortunately, we have a wait ahead of us as the redesigned A4 Avant isn’t expected to be unveiled until next year.
