Poll: Audi A4 Avant out-wagons the C-Class

The new Audi A4 Avant might look just like the old one, barring a few tweaks to the bumpers, but it's still managed to topple the equally-subtly redesigned C-Class Estate in our latest poll.

It was a close-run thing, but 59 per cent of respondents preferred the angular wagon from Ingolstadt over the curvier creation from Stuttgart.

Although subtle, there are a few changes to the A4 line-up for 2019. For one, the car pictured is fitted with the new S Line Competition package, with its 3D-look grille and reworked fog-lamp surrounds, while the range is expected to adopt Audi's nonsensical new naming structure. Alright, we said it was mildly redesigned.

The new C-Class, on the other hand, represents a bigger step forward over its predecessor, although you'd be hard pressed to know it from the outside.

It's been treated to around 6500 new parts under the skin, with a range of new powertrains and an expanded suite of semi-autonomous goodies nicked from the S-Class.

A new digital instrument cluster is available behind the wheel, although the car misses out on the new MBUX infotainment system that debuted in the A-Class.
