Passenger & boot space
How it copes with people and clutter
There's plenty of space for four adults in the Audi RS4 Avant. In the back, there’s enough rear leg and head room to suit those of above-average height, but, if you are over six feet tall, you may feel the top of your head brushing the roof-lining. This is more of an issue if you’re the third passenger in the middle seat, in which case you’ll also need to contend with the raised central tunnel that limits foot space.
The RS4’s boot offers slightly more overall storage capacity than in the BMW Alpina B3 Touring, but there’s not much in it. Its tailgate provides a wide aperture and a low load lip to take the strain out of lifting in heavy items, and even at its narrowest point, the boot is still one metre wide – that could prove a boon if you’re on an Ikea run.
