Audi A4 allroad

The A4 Allroad is a compact luxury wagon with room for up to five passengers. Compared to Audi’s similarly sized A4 sedan (upon which it’s based), the A4 Allroad offers not only twice the cargo space but also 1.3 additional inches of ground clearance and some rugged-looking body cladding to signal its outdoorsy nature. It’s the smaller of two wagons offered by Audi, measuring about eight inches shorter than the midsize A6 Allroad.

Audi offers the A4 Allroad in three trims: the entry-level Premium, the mid-range Premium Plus, and the top-of-the-line Prestige. All come well equipped with standard features, including a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, forward collision mitigation, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. In 2020, the standard infotainment display was upgraded from 7.0 to 10.1 inches. Heated front seats joined the standard-features list in 2021, as did lane-departure warning. Additional safety tech, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, and lane-keeping assist, is optional or limited to higher trim levels. Other notable options include LED headlights, navigation, ventilated front seats, and dual-pane acoustic glass.

Under the hood, the A4 Allroad sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The mill initially produced about 250 horsepower but in 2021 got a bump to 261 ponies thanks to the addition of a 12-volt mild-hybrid system. Output is routed to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
