## Why hire an estate rather than a saloon?

Because the RS 4 gives up nothing to get the boot. It shares its 444bhp biturbo V6 with the RS 5, reaches 62mph in 4.1 seconds, and adds 495 litres behind the rear seats — close to 1,500 with them folded. For a week away with equipment, bikes or a dog, it is the more useful fast car.

## What is the RS 4 like on a British road?

Well suited to it. The V6 makes 600Nm from low in the rev range, so it pulls hard without needing to be revved out, and quattro all-wheel drive puts it down in the wet. The ride is firm rather than harsh. You can use seven-tenths of it on a damp A-road and still enjoy the car.

## What does it cost to hire an Audi RS 4 Avant?

A refundable deposit near £2,500 and a matching insurance excess are typical, with 12,000 miles a year included and about £1.50 a mile beyond. All of it is confirmed in writing first.

## RS 4 Avant or RS 5 Sportback?

Same engine, same gearbox, same quattro drivetrain. The RS 5 Sportback is a couple of tenths quicker to 62mph and has the lower roofline; the RS 4 Avant has the square boot and better rear headroom. Choose on what you are carrying, because there is very little in it on performance.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the RS 4 Avant good for a family?

Yes. It is a five-seat estate with 495 litres of boot space, Isofix in the back and an ordinary, usable cabin. The performance is there when the car is empty and entirely ignorable when it is not.

### How much is the deposit on an RS 4?

Typically around £2,500, refundable, held against a matching insurance excess. The amount, how it is held and when it is released are all stated before you book, never after.

### Can I take an RS 4 abroad?

Sometimes, with written permission, an insurance extension and enough notice. It is not automatic and it is not always possible. Ask early and we will tell you honestly whether a partner will allow it.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*
