Audi A4 Allroad (09 on) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 26 May 2009 Last Updated: 06 March 2012 The A4 allroad is designed to give buyers off-road practicality without the bulk of a full-size 4x4. It's best suited to those who only need occasional off-road ability - it will struggle with traditional 4x4 terrain, but makes light work of otherwise inaccessible muddy tracks. It retains the strengths of the standard A4 Avant estate, so is good to drive, beautifully built and comfortable on the move. The range is much slimmed-down compared to the standard A4 and - as a new car at least - is much more expensive. Such is the premium, that it leaves the A4 allroad in a strange position. For a little bit more, buyers can have the full-size Q5 or they can make a significant saving by opting for a standard Avant with quattro four-wheel drive. 4 out of 5 Other Audi reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £31,380 - £36,845 View all new prices Used price range: £18,274 - £31,690 View all used prices Get an Audi A4 Allroad (09 on) information pack Next steps Audi A4 Allroad cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
