Overall Rating
The idea behind the introduction of the Audi Allroad was to have a vehicle that features the luxury and maneuverability of a sedan, but scores high on cabin space.
The idea behind the introduction of the Audi Allroad was to have a vehicle that features the luxury and maneuverability of a sedan, but scores high on cabin space. Being based on the A4, the Allroad has high expectations to live up to. Its smooth ride quality, an opulent cabin, and the provision of a standard all-wheel-drivetrain make the Allroad an efficient choice in the market.
We recommend buying the Prestige trim as its features make it the most sought-after and practical choice delivering a high price to performance ratio. Its additional features like a rearview camera, navigation system, and keyless ignition allow the wagon to score highly on modernity and pragmatism.
