2021 Audi A4 Allroad Review

- Impeccably crafted interior
- Higher ground clearance slightly enhances off-road ability
- More maneuverable than most crossover SUVs with comparable utility
- Turbocharged engine provides strong performance
- Transmission can be slow to respond
- Some advanced driver aids are overly sensitive
- Turbocharged four-cylinder engine gets 13-horsepower increase to 261 hp
- More standard tech and driver aids
- Part of the third A4 Allroad generation introduced for 2017
Can't decide between a wagon or an SUV? Audi might have just the vehicle for you: the 2021 Audi A4 Allroad. It's essentially a wagon version of Audi's A4 sedan that has a slightly higher stance, extra body cladding, standard all-wheel drive and a few other minor changes. Notably, the Allroad is currently the only version of the A4 wagon available in America, so it's this or nothing. But it does complement the Audi A4 sedan's already comfortable and premium interior with extra cargo space.
Since nearly every automaker has stopped selling wagons in the United States, the A4 Allroad has few rivals. The most notable competitor is the Volvo V60 Cross Country. The Cross Country treatment is basically Volvo's equivalent to the Allroad, with a lifted suspension and body cladding for a tougher look than the standard V60 wagon. There's also the Subaru Outback. It's larger and less expensive than the A4 Allroad, but it can't compete with the Audi when it comes to luxury features. What should you get? Check out our Expert Rating below to see if the updated Audi A4 Allroad is the right fit for you.
Performance
The A4 Allroad handles capably. Its tire grip limits are on the modest side, but the car has great composure. It also has a surprisingly tight turning circle. On winding roads, the Allroad isn't as buttoned-down as the standard A4 sedan, but it's easier to wield than an SUV.
Comfort
The standard three-zone climate control system is a nice touch. It provides plenty of coverage from vents, but with a prominent whoosh sound. The back seat has vents and temperature control. The Allroad has heated front seats with the option for ventilated front seats and heating for the rear seats and steering wheel.

Interior
This is an amply sized car despite its small luxury car status. There's loads of space up front, particularly headroom. Backseat space is easily suited to two 6-footers, though those longer of leg might want a touch more legroom. The panoramic sunroof is unfortunately compulsory, but headroom is still ample.
Technology
The Allroad offers a comprehensive suite of driver safety aids, though many proved to be overly sensitive and intrusive in heavy traffic. The acceleration and braking of the traffic-adaptive cruise control are smooth and natural. It even has predictive abilities to slow the Allroad as you approach a turn.
Storage
When it comes to kid transportation duty, the A4 Allroad has four lower car seat anchors that are readily accessible beneath plastic covers. The outboard upper tethers are two-thirds of the way up their respective seatbacks, and the center is located near the top. A rearward-facing car seat fits, but you'll have to slide the front seat up a bit to make it happen.
Fuel Economy
Value
Wildcard
A versatile wagon that looks great is a winner in our book. That it also has a beautiful and functional cabin is just the icing on the wagon cake. This is a car that you take on an unpaved access road to a hiking trail and then out for a night on the town.

Audi A4 Allroad vs. the competition

2021 Audi A4 Allroad

2021 Volvo V60 Cross Country
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Volvo V60 Cross Country
The Volvo V60 Cross Country is the A4 Allroad's most direct competitor. They line up nearly on top of each other in terms of price, size, cargo capacity, fuel economy and a handful of other areas. We like the Volvo's interior look and feel, and it includes lots of standard features. We don't like its infotainment as much as Audi's, but the Volvo is well worth a look if you're considering an A4 Allroad.
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Subaru Outback
The Outback can't match the premium feel you'll find when you step inside the A4 Allroad, but it costs significantly less than the Audi. A fully loaded Outback is still thousands of dollars less than an A4 Allroad. We found the Outback to be comfortable on the road, with lots of space for people and cargo. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Subaru Outback.
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Audi A6 Allroad
It's easy to think of the A6 Allroad as a larger version of the A4 Allroad because that's basically what it is. The A6 Allroad has many of the same pros and cons as its smaller sibling. The interior design is a bit newer than the A4 Allroad's, but neither one is lacking for luxury touches. If you like the A4 Allroad but need more space, consider crossing the showroom to take a gander at the A6 Allroad.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Audi A4 allroad?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
