2023 Audi A4 allroad

The price of the Audi A4 allroad reflects its position as a luxury vehicle. The base-model Premium has a starting price of $45,500, while the Premium Plus will cost $50,500. The range-topper is the Prestige trim, which asks for $55,800. These prices are MSRP and do not include extra administrative fees such as the $1,095 destination charge.

With its sedan underpinnings, the Audi A4 allroad handles a lot better than its size would suggest. It isn't as top-heavy as an SUV, and the standard quattro all-wheel drive gives it amazing traction that ensures it remains grounded and poised at all times. It certainly has enough power for spirited driving, too, although it's no sports car. And while the AWD setup is not really made for off-roading, it is ideal for overcoming slippery road conditions or snow.

In terms of ride comfort, the A4 wagon delivers the plushness you'd expect from the body style. The standard suspension does a good job of smoothing over any bumps, even mid-corner ones. However, it is the adaptive suspension that comes with upper trim levels that really impresses. Combined with multiple drive modes, including dynamic, comfort, or off-road, this suspension can handle almost anything you might encounter with ease. you wouldn't want to take on truly rough conditions, though, as this isn't a dedicated off-roader.

Despite the waning popularity of the wagon, there are still many advantages to be found in the old-fashioned body style, and the Audi A4 allroad is happy to prove as much. It's not the only competitor in the segment, but it is one of the most well-rounded. It presents buyers with an attractive and spacious cabin, even though the trunk is a little on the small side. Where there can be no complaints is the ride comfort. The car handles far better than an SUV, which makes it a dream to drive around town. The whole family remains cosseted in the lap of luxury. Meanwhile, the extensive list of safety features means everyone can relax and enjoy the ride.

It's not an overly powerful car, but 261 hp is enough to hustle it around town effortlessly, even when carrying five people and luggage. And while it is a handsome vehicle to be sure, not everyone will see it that way. Meanwhile, standard AWD means the wagon feels at home just about anywhere and provides superior traction in adverse weather conditions. The A4's very few failings are easy to overlook and include a slightly cramped trunk and poor fuel economy returns. In our review, the Audi A4 allroad gets a lot more right than it does wrong - we feel it's a solid choice for a new family car.

The middle ground is most often where you get the most value for your money, and the Audi A4 allroad is no exception to this rule. The Premium Plus gets some desirable comfort and safety features over the base model. These include parking sensors, lane-keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The hands-free tailgate is a nice convenience, while the addition of SiriusXM and a superior Bang & Olufsen sound system will definitely meet with the approval of passengers. It asks for a $4,600 increase in price, however, but it's worth the stretch.
