Audi A4 and A6

There are three series of station wagons from Audi: the standard Avant, the sporty S, and the fully loaded RS. The Avant is for comfortable travel. The S is for those who love fast driving but want to carry more luggage. In these versions, the suspension and the powertrain settings are different. It's still a comfortable car, but with a sporty character.

The RS is for those who turn off their phones on weekends and head to the racetrack. These models have even more power and sharper brakes. However, car enthusiasts are not ready to part with sporty wagons, and they were rarely sold here. Therefore, it is now almost impossible to find them. And those that are for sale are much more expensive.

For 45-55 thousands dollars, there are Avant station wagons with a 2-liter engine producing 204-265 horsepower. Or even with a 3-liter engine producing 231-286 horsepower. Cars with minimal mileage and basic engines can be found within a budget of up to 50 thousands dollars.

Here you can find German station wagons A4 and A6 with mileage of up to 75,000 km priced from 40 to 55 thousands dollars on Avito Auto. All of them are fresh—produced after 2019.

BMW 3 and 5 Series

First of all, they are beautiful. The 3 Series wagon even has been awarded the iF Design Award for design. However, that was in 2013. The "three" also received recognition for safety: 5 stars from Euro NCAP and the highest award from the IIHS Insurance Institute. The "five" has frequently been rated as the best by various publications and agencies.


BMW models have remained popular with us, even after the brand left Russia. The "threes" are available with a 2-liter engine producing 184-292 horsepower. Rarely, there are versions with a 3-liter engine producing 374 horsepower (for about 55 thousands dollars).

Fewer "fives" are sold in wagon form. But you can find 2-liter versions with 190 horsepower or 3-liter versions with 249 horsepower.

Here are BMW 3 and 5 Series station wagons with low mileage. With 2-liter engines producing around 200 horsepower and more.

Mercedes-Benz C- and E-Class

Both Mercedes-Benz station wagons have received dozens of different awards. From "Car of the Year" by some publications to leaders in safety and reliability from EuroNCAP and IIHS.

For , there are C-Class station wagons with a 2-liter engine producing 194, 200, or 245 horsepower. There are also 1.5-liter engines with 204 horsepower. The E-Class has 2-liter engines producing 194, 245, and even 320 horsepower.

On Avito Auto, for 55 thousands dollars, there are cars with mileage from 30 to 60 thousand kilometers. Most of them were imported from Germany.

Volvo V60 and V90

Both models are similar to each other, differing only in size and engines. The V90 is larger by about 20 centimeters.

There are standard V60 and V90, as well as all-terrain versions called Cross Country. They have a higher ground clearance, plastic protective cladding on the body, enlarged wheel arches, and larger wheels. Almost like crossovers.

We have Volvo V60 for sale in two variants: a 2-liter engine with 250 horsepower or a hybrid with 340 horsepower. The Volvo V90 offers more options: 197, 249, 253, or 300 horsepower.

Follow the link for all Volvo station wagons with low mileage; there are even brand new cars.

Volkswagen Passat and Arteon

The Arteon is not the same as the Passat. It is a separate model. However, if you sit behind the wheel with your eyes closed, it will be hard to distinguish one model from the other.
