2022 Audi RS4 Avant Carbon Black

The RS4 Avant in Carbon Black specification is one of Audi's more cohesive factory finishes — the darkened exterior elements, black optics, and RS badging give this 2022 example a more purposeful aesthetic than the standard car without any aftermarket intervention. Power comes from the 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 444bhp, fed through a Tiptronic automatic to all four wheels via quattro, covering 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds — performance that sits comfortably alongside dedicated sports cars, delivered in a five-door estate that will swallow luggage without complaint.

This example has covered 27,899 miles and carries two worthwhile options: the RS Sport Exhaust, which adds genuine character to the V6's top-end note, and the Comfort and Sound Package, bringing keyless entry, 360-degree parking cameras, and a premium sound system. The RS-badged leather multifunction steering wheel and deluxe three-zone climate control are present throughout. The Sport Exhaust is increasingly sought-after on pre-owned RS4s — it's the single option that most meaningfully changes how the car feels to drive.

At a 2022 registration with under 28,000 miles, this sits at the lower end of typical usage for its age. The Carbon Black edition commands a premium over base RS4 pricing, and finding one with the Sport Exhaust already fitted removes the need for any dealer options negotiation on a fresher example.
