2023 Audi A4 allroad

Audi’s sleek AWD wagon with the rugged body cladding and raised ride height offers the capability and room of a crossover, but with car-like agility and a dash of Euro-posh. New for 2023 are standard rear cross traffic alert, wireless phone charging, wireless Apple CarPLay and Android Auto, front and rear park sensors, auto dimming/pwr folding mirrors, shift paddles and memory for driver’s seat and exterior mirrors.

Performance

Power comes from VW Groups ubiquitous 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, here generating a robust 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft from 1600-4500 rpm. Power gets to all four wheels through a 7-speed automatic transmission. This smooth and linear drivetrain pushes the Allroad to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds.

Practicality

The Audi A4 Allroad seats five and offers up a usable 685 litres behind the rear seat - 1,654 litres when the 40/20/40 split bench is folded. That said, the Subaru Outback and Volvo V60 have more cargo space. With an increased ride-height of 34 mm over the A4 Sedan, and standard powered lift gate, this long roof is long on functionality.

Canadian Pricing

The 2023 Audi A4 Allroad comes in three trim levels: Komfort ($52,300), Progressiv ($55,550) and Technik ($59,200). Options add up quickly, as even with the top Technik, features like ventilated seats, head-up display and natural oak inlays cost extra.
