From the Official Press Release:

Design

The design of the Audi A4 allroad quattro recalls the A4 Avant: crisp lines enclose tastefully curved surfaces and the low roof line establishes a coupé-like silhouette.

The moon-gray single-frame radiator grille bears vertical chrome strips; an accentuated bumper and large air inlets underscore this vehicle’s unique identity.

Chrome rings encircle the fog lights. And in the option featuring xenon plus headlights, light-emitting diodes comprise the daytime running lights and taillights.

Underneath the front end and tail end, the A4 allroad has a stainless- steel underbody guard.

Viewed from the side, the vehicle dazzles with flared wheel arches, angular sills (available with stainless-steel insert strips), and large wheels – 17-inch wheels in 7-arm design are standard.

The roof is capped off by an offset rail with two high crosspieces. The width is emphasized by the rear bumper’s distinctive styling and the integrated horizontal reflectors.

On the 2.0 TDI, the two exhaust tailpipes appear side by side; on the 2.0 TFSI and 3.0 TDI, they terminate to the left and to the right.

The main dimensions are 4.72 meters (15.49 ft) in length, a wheelbase of 2.81 meters (9.22 ft), 1.84 meters (6.04 ft) in width, and 1.50 meters (4.92 ft) in height. It also features greater ground clearance than the Audi A4 Avant: 180 millimeters (7.09 inches).

Audi has created a vehicle body consisting primarily of high-strength and ultra-strong steel panels – which reduce the car’s weight while enhancing its rigidity, vibrational comfort, and impact safety.

The luggage compartment’s base capacity is 490 liters (17.30 cubic feet). This can be increased, up to 1,430 liters (50.50 cubic feet) and a length of 1.78 meters (5.84 feet) by folding down the split rear-bench backrest.

Interior

The cockpit is focused primarily on the driver. Among the highlights are the standard electromechanical handbrake – which has replaced the lever on the center console with a button – and the central on-board monitor.

A color display complements the concert or symphony sound system, or the MMI navigation system plus; the MMI’s offset control unit is housed in the center console.

Customers can choose one of several different trim materials: an exclusive allroad fabric, two types of leather, or an Alcantara/leather combination.

Standard inlays are micrometallic platinum; options include aluminum trigon, natural fine-grain ash, laurel nutmeg, and walnut brown.

As for seats, Audi offers a seat-heating system, electrical adjustability, a sporty version with pronounced side sections, and climate-controlled comfort seats.

Technical Features

The range of engines includes a 211-hp 2-liter TFSI gasoline unit with direct injection (0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, top speed of 230 km/h) and two diesel engines:a the 170-hp 2.0 TDI( 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, top speed of 213 km/h) and the 240-hp 3.0 TDI (0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, top speed of 236 km/h).

The Audi A4 allroad quattro features quattro permanent all-wheel drive as standard equipment. Its purely mechanical center differential favors the rear, distributing power at a 40:60 ratio to the front and rear axle. If necessary, the quattro permanent all-wheel drive can route up to 65 percent to the front or as much as 85 percent toward the tail end.

The body is higher on account of a new chassis with longer springs and new shock absorbers. The standard, 17-inch lightweight alloy wheels are fitted with 225/55 tires.

On rough terrain, the A4 allroad quattro relies on a high-tech feature of its Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP): the Offroad Detection (ORD) technology automatically identifies the type of driving surface and adjusts the ESP’s control parameters accordingly.

The Audi A4 allroad quattro will be available in early summer at a basic price of 37,100 euros.
