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.
