2017 Audi A4 Allroad Arrives This Fall, Begins At $44,950

If you have your heart set on an Audi wagon, here is the only way you can get one in the U.S.

This fall will see Audi introduce the A4 Allroad. The Allroad takes a standard A4 wagon, adds about 1.3 inches to the ground clearance, body cladding, and underbody protection. While Europe gets a wide selection of engines (five diesel and one gas), the U.S. version makes due with a 2.0L TFSI four-cylinder producing 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and Audi's new Quattro Ultra AWD system - decouples the rear axle to save fuel.

In terms of standard equipment, the A4 Allroad comes with adaptive dampers, three-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, power front seats, forward collision warning, and compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Options include Audi's virtual cockpit system, color heads-up display, Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound Sound System, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring.

Pricing for the 2017 A4 Allroad begins at $44,950 for the base Premium. The mid-level Premium Plus starts at $47,950, and the top-line Prestige costs $52,350. All prices include a $950 destination charge.
