Audi’s new A4 Allroad is not just a wagon. It’s an exciting car that can get you wherever you want, also through the most uncomfortable terrain, with refinement of a family estate car and the versatility and the power of a serious off-roader.

The car features a variety of engine options from 170hp 2.0 liter TFSI (gasoline) to a 240hp 3.0 liter TDI (diesel) all turbocharged and direct-injected, and also the Audi drive select (intelligent handling technology), the S tronic dual-clutch transmission, and the energy recuperation system, which during deceleration converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

New A4 Allroad has a pronounced bumper, big air intakes, wheel-arch extensions, additional stainless steel under-body protection and a tough stance with tall suspension (ground clearance is increased by 180 millimetres over the standard Avant).

The car will make its world public debut at Geneva Motor Show on March 5th 2009. The harder edged Audi A4 will open for UK order this week priced from £29,285 for the 2.0 TDI and will reach its first customers in May.
