Audi A4 allroad Review

Crossovers aren't the only game in town if you're looking for a vehicle that offers superb utility. Wagons represent a fresh alternative. And the Audi A4 Allroad is a compact wagon that comes with high levels of luxury and light off-road skills.

The A4 Allroad's sheet metal looks powerful and capable, with sturdy wheelwell moldings that make it clear this wagon is ready to tackle trails and mountain paths. Within the cabin, it has a premium design and a bevy of high-quality materials. Driving dynamics are impressive, and this Audi offers an athletic engine and nimble handling. With its extra ground clearance and standard all-wheel drive, the A4 Allroad is ready to take on roads that are wet, snowy or unpaved.

A vehicle with a certain measure of off-road capability easily facilitates weekend adventures that are off the beaten path. If you're in the market for a small wagon or crossover that's refined enough to coddle passengers yet rugged enough to hold its own on trails, the Audi A4 Allroad merits consideration. 

Current Audi A4 Allroad
The Audi A4 Allroad is a small wagon with seating for five passengers, and it comes in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trims. Base models are equipped with xenon headlights, heated exterior mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. It also has underbody cladding to provide protection on rocky trails. Premium Plus models add features such as LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, satellite radio and a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system. Stepping up to the top-of-the-line Prestige trim gets you amenities such as a surround-view camera system and a head-up display. The list of options includes heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats. Driver assist features such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning are also available.

A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is the only engine, but it produces a solid 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Gears are shifted by a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard.

In reviews, we've praised the A4 Allroad for the outstanding luxury of its cabin. The materials used throughout are impeccable, and the wagon's interior is constructed with keen precision. Another high point is cargo capacity. The A4 Allroad provides 24.2 cubic feet of space with the rear seats in place, and capacity swells to 58.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. These figures are quite generous for the class.
