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.

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.
