2020 Audi A4 allroad pricing
in Ashburn, VA2020 Audi A4 allroad Review
You could have been forgiven for thinking the station wagon was all but dead. But the vehicle that successfully combines the road manners of a car with the practicality of an SUV is alive and kicking, at least at Audi dealerships. The 2020 Audi A4 Allroad is a stylish small station wagon brimming with technology. It also has a bit more ground clearance compared to the regular Audi A4 sedan and, as is typical for Audi, standard all-wheel drive.
If you want more off-road capability and a lower price, the wagon-like Subaru Outback offers just as much practicality as the Audi. Volvo's V60 Cross Country wagon can go toe to toe with the Audi's style and costs about the same too. Larger wagons, such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6 Allroad, are roomier but cost substantially more money.
Our verdict
8.1 / 10How does it drive?
7.5The 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.
How comfortable is it?
8.5The 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.
How’s the interior?
9.0This 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.
How’s the tech?
8.0The 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.
How’s the storage?
8.5When 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.
How economical is it?
7.5Is it a good value?
7.5Wildcard
8.0A 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 take on a night on the town.

Audi A4 Allroad vs. the competition
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback is far more rugged and utilitarian than the A4 Allroad, can hold more, and will take you considerably farther off the beaten path. It's also considerably less expensive and comes with a pleasing array of driver safety aids. But the Outback lacks the sophistication and refinement of the Audi.
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Volvo V60 Cross Country
The Volvo V60 continues the Swedish company's tradition of making station wagons, and the V60 carries wagon styling to a new level of sophistication. We're fans of the comfortable front seats, long list of safety equipment, and cargo capacity. The Cross Country version is a lot like the A4 Allroad in that it has a slightly raised ride height.
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Audi A6 Allroad
If you like everything the A4 Allroad has to offer but want something bigger, the newly reintroduced A6 Allroad should fit the bill, provided you can afford it. It costs more than $10,000 more. For the extra money, you do get a more powerful engine as well as additional cargo capacity and Audi's newest, albeit less intuitive, infotainment system.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 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.
