Audi A4 Allroad (09 on) - Review

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.
