The current US A4 Allroad uses the 2.0-litre TFSI four with 248 hp and 273 lb-ft, paired with a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch. quattro AWD is standard (no FWD option), with adaptive damping optional. The lifted ride height and unique cladding give it more SUV-like presence without the height of a real SUV. Cargo capacity is generous — 24.2 cubic feet behind the second row, 58.5 with seats folded. Reception has been consistently positive: reviewers praise the all-weather ability, the proper wagon practicality, and the relative rarity. The A4 Allroad isn't exciting; it's a sensible, deeply competent family wagon for buyers who specifically don't want an SUV. The 2026 generation continues with the same formula, updated styling and tech.
