Which A4 allroad does Edmunds recommend?
Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
8.1 / 10SUVs are the default vehicles for buyers who need cargo room and all-weather dependability, but many wagons offer both, along with an arguably more engaging driving experience. Every 2019 Audi A4 Allroad comes with all-wheel drive to handle the elements, plus more ground clearance than the standard A4 sedan. At the same time, its lower center of gravity and lighter weight make it more fun to drive than the Q5 crossover. The A4 Allroad's SUV practicality, along with sedan styling and driving dynamics, truly makes it the best of both worlds.
Step inside and you'll find the high-tech and beautifully detailed cabin shared by most modern Audis. A standard panoramic sunroof illuminates an interior trimmed in wood or aluminum inlays, and every model comes with high-quality leather upholstery. (Many luxury compacts are outfitted with simulated leather.) The central display screen is bright and easy to navigate; it effortlessly complements the optional Virtual Cockpit feature, which puts maps and crucial audio information right in the instrument panel. Despite the A4 Allroad's compact billing, four tall adults will find the cabin spacious. Drop the rear seats and you'll find the A4 Allroad has even more maximum cargo space than the Q5.
There aren't many small luxury wagons — the redesigned Volvo V60 comes close but doesn't have the same tough off-road look of the A4 Allroad. There's also the Buick Regal TourX, which isn't as pretty inside but has more cargo room at a much lower price. Even in the face of these two tough competitors, the 2019 Audi A4 Allroad impresses us with a rich, luxurious cabin and superb driving dynamics. If you're looking for a new vehicle with tons of cargo and passenger room, consider the A4 Allroad before jumping straight to the dime-a-dozen SUVs that litter suburban shopping mall parking lots.
Notably, we picked the 2019 Audi A4 Allroad as one of Edmunds' Best Luxury Cars for this year.
2019 Audi A4 allroad models
The 2019 Audi A4 Allroad is a five-seat luxury wagon that offers greater utility and ground clearance than the A4 sedan. The base Premium trim is loaded with features, including leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Premium Plus costs a bit more and adds parking sensors, an eye-catching digital instrument panel and a larger central display screen. The Prestige is significantly more expensive and counts automated driver and advanced safety systems among its upgrades. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine (248 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque), a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard.
Standard exterior features on the base Premium trim include 18-inch wheels, underbody skid plates, xenon headlights, LED running lights, automatic wipers, heated mirrors, roof rails, a panoramic sunroof, a power liftgate, an adaptive suspension, selectable drive modes, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.
Inside, you also get tri-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, keyless ignition, heated and eight-way power front seats (with driver four-way power lumbar adjustment), a driver information display, 40/20/40-split folding rear seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with wheel-mounted shift paddles, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, interior ambient lighting, Audi's MMI infotainment system, a 7-inch central display, a rearview camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a 10-speaker audio system with a CD player, HD radio and two USB ports.
The Premium can be further bolstered by the Convenience package, which includes auto-dimming exterior mirrors, keyless entry, driver-seat memory functions, satellite radio, a blind-spot monitor, and rear collision preparation.
The Premium Plus trim adds the Convenience package, LED headlights, power-folding exterior mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, a virtual instrument panel inside the gauge cluster, Audi Connect services (includes emergency telematics, 4G LTE connectivity and in-car Wi-Fi hotspot, among other services), a navigation system, an 8.3-inch central display with a touchpad infotainment controller, faux leather interior trim, and rear charge-only USB ports.
At the top of the range, the Prestige trim includes all of the above, along with automatic high-beam control, noise-reducing front windows, adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, enhanced interior lighting, a surround-view camera system, a lane departure warning and intervention system, and a 19-speaker premium Bang & Olufsen surround-sound system (optional on Premium Plus models).
The Premium Plus and Prestige trims can be ordered with the Cold Weather (heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel) and Warm Weather (manual rear sunshades and ventilated front sport seats with passenger lumbar adjustment) packages.Rear-seat side airbags are available as a stand-alone option on any trim level.
Trim tested
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the Audi A4 Allroad Prestige (turbo 2.0L inline-4 | 7-speed dual-clutch automatic | AWD).
NOTE: Since this test was conducted in 2017, the current A4 Allroad has received some revisions, including a slight reduction in power for 2019 and shuffled trim features throughout its lifespan. Our findings remain broadly applicable to this year's A4 Allroad, however.:

Most helpful consumer reviews
Audi is stingy with important features in base models. What is provided is hard to understand. When fancy names for basic safety add ons are removed, it is not very different from our last A4 wagon of 2010—that was still going strong at 125k miles. This one accelerates smoothly to 90+ on the NY Northway as fast as I admit to, then handles twisting Adirondack roads with aplomb. Fit and finish are excellent as expected from Audi. Just make sure you are packing short skis inside and carrying long skis on the roof!
This is my second AllRoad! I love its practicality yet sports car capabilities. Its the perfect blend of what I need and want in a car.

Audi A4 Allroad vs. the competition
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Audi Q5
Despite drastically different appearances, the A4 Allroad wagon and the Audi Q5 are quite similar. They are nearly the same length, are powered by the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and have similar cargo capacities. The Q5 is slightly taller and has more ground clearance, but the true difference between the two is the body style.
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Volvo V60
The Volvo V60 wagon has slightly less ground clearance than the A4 Allroad but is competitive in many other ways. Both front-wheel- and all-wheel-drive V60s are less expensive than the A4 Allroad, and the AWD V60 is significantly more powerful than its Audi rival. The Allroad distinguishes itself with skid plates and black lower cladding, giving it an arguably tougher, off-road-ready appearance.
Audi A4 Allroad vs. Subaru Outback
The Subaru Outback has more of a traditional SUV profile, but it's more than capable for off-road adventuring. All-wheel drive is standard, and it has a few more inches of ground clearance than the A4 Allroad. The Subaru is fairly sluggish unless you opt for the six-cylinder engine. Its interior isn't as luxurious as the Audi's. As expected, though, the Outback costs much less than the Allroad.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Audi A4 allroad Wagon?
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.
