Review Audi A4 allroad 2.0T quattro S tronic 2018

The Audi A4 is a station wagon that resembles a crossover or SUV with its attributes. For example, its carrying capacity or a standard four-wheel drive engine. The cabin of the Audi A4 allroad looks modern and luxurious, making it stand out from the competition.

And there are other reasons to take this luxurious family car seriously. This time we take a look at the 2018 Audi A4 allroad 2.0T quattro S tronic.

What's new in 2018

Changes this year are limited. Heated seats are now standard, and blind spot monitoring has been added to the Premium Plus equipment list.

Features and options

The Audi A4 allroad includes leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, Apple CarPlay and the Android Auto app. It also features keyless entry, blind spot monitoring, heated front seats, power heated mirrors, power lift, satellite radio, and eight-way adjustable front seats.

The Audi A4 allroad comes with optional Cold and Warm Weather packages that include ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and all-weather floor mats.

The Prestige package comes with advanced security systems, parking sensors, a heads-up display, LED headlights and a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.

Interior

The interior of the Audi A4 allroad is one of the car's best attributes and, in our opinion, the best in its class. The Allroad is slightly taller than the A4 sedan, making it easier to get in and out. It is easy to get into the cabin for drivers of any build.

First-class interior finishes and a quiet cabin. We liked the tablet-sized screen that sits in the middle of the dash and the updated MMI controller.

Two adults can easily fit in the back seat. The standard panoramic sunroof creates a feeling of open air space. Another nice touch is the optional Virtual Cockpit instrument panel, which helps the driver to keep their eyes on the road.

The trunk volume of the Audi A4 allroad is 685 liters and 1656 liters with the rear seats folded down.

Characteristics

The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 252 horsepower and up to 370 Nm of torque. It is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system.

The Audi A4 allroad is equipped with an automatic engine stop/start system for additional fuel savings.

Driving dynamics

The extra torque moves a heavy vehicle quickly, and lane changes are made easier with a side-mounted four-cylinder engine.

The 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission is mated to the Audi quattro all-wheel drive system. This makes the vehicle all-weather with some off-road capability.

Conclusion

The Audi A4 allroad is not an SUV, but it is capable of what any crossover can do. It has a large powertrain with the latest version of the 2.0 liter turbo engine. Add fuel economy and you have a luxurious family car.
