Audi All-New A4 Allroad Quattro
Audi made its world premiere of A4
Allroad Quattro in Detroit. The recipe remains the same as before
with Audi engineers giving the A4 Allroad Quattro a 34 mm gain in
ground clearance and standard all-wheel drive, along with a new version of the
‘Audi Drive Select’ that adds an off-road mode in addition to the existing
comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency and individual functions found on other
models.
Audi’s designers take the reins from
there adorning the A4 Avant with a hint of crossover pizzazz through body
cladding, bespoke 17-inch standard or 19-inch optional wheels, a chrome-rich
front grille with vertical slats, model-specific air intakes, skid plates and
higher silver roof rails. The only differences inside are the model-specific
trim accents on the dashboard.
In the US, the A4 Allroad Quattro will
be available exclusively with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four rated at
252 PS and 273 lb-ft of peak torque.
European buyers will get more choices,
as aside from the TFSI, it will be offered with five TDI diesel engines
producing between 150 PS and 272 PS, mated to a manual six‑speed gearbox, the
new seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission or the redesigned eight-speed
tiptronic automatic. Sales of the new member of the A4 family
will kick off this summer.
