The exterior has been redesigned to showcase the allroad’s adventurous spirit with design cues that pay homage to the A4 family. Vertical chrome slats on the Singleframe® grille emphasize the vehicle’s increased ground clearance while more powerful wheel arches add to the vehicle’s offroad character. 

The interior features a horizontally oriented architecture to create a greater feeling of spaciousness while infotainment features such as the large MMI® display and available Audi virtual cockpit help create a driver-centric space. 

A newly designed infotainment system includes standard Audi smartphone interface, which provides Apple CarPlay™ and Google™ Android Auto integration.

The all-new A4 allroad also features a redesigned 2.0-liter TFSI® engine and, for the first time, a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission that melds efficiency with dynamic shifting for an overall sportier drive. 

With the cargo capacity and rugged performance of a crossover and the premium luxury and advanced technologies only an Audi can offer, the A4 allroad is the smarter choice for exploring just about any road.

2017 A4 allroad highlights:

• New standard quattro all-wheel drive with ultra technology
• New standard adaptive dampers with a redesigned five-link suspension
• Five drive-select modes; comfort, auto, dynamic, individual, and offroad

Offroad Tuned Suspension

The A4 allroad has a newly redesigned five-link suspension with standard adaptive dampers, an option on the A4 sedan, which helps to deliver a comfortable ride both on and offroad, along with the ability to firm the dampers for dynamic driving on curvy roads.

Driver Assistance:

The all-new A4 allroad incorporates many driver assistance features that are designed to help drivers navigating the road and traffic with confidence.

Driver assistance features:

• In the case of an impending collision, standard Audi pre sense® basic can intervene to prepare the vehicle for impact. This process includes beginning to close the side windows and panoramic sunroof, pretensioning the front safety belts, and preparing the brake system for a quicker response during an unexpected or emergency maneuver.
• Standard Audi pre sense city can detect cornering and stationary vehicles as well as pedestrians, at speeds of up to 52 mph and can initiate full braking when a potential collision is detected.
• Available traffic sign recognition (as part of the Driver assistance package) including vehicle speed warning can detect speed limits and displays the information in the Audi virtual cockpit or driver information system. Additionally, the system helps evaluate various driving conditions, no passing zones and school and construction zones.
• Available Audi active lane assist observes lane markings and can provide gentle steering wheel warning vibrations if it is determined that the vehicle is approaching the edge of the lane without signaling.
• Audi side assist (available on Premium Plus and standard with Prestige trim) provides blind spot monitoring via LED indicators on the exterior mirror housing at speeds above 9 mph).
• Audi pre sense rear (available on Premium Plus models and standard with Prestige trim) helps monitor the traffic following the vehicle and takes similar actions to Audi pre sense basic.
• Vehicle exit assist (as part of Audi side assist) can help prevent incidents with a side assist warning light, which blinks and helps alert the driver when vehicles or cyclists are approaching from behind as the vehicle doors are opened.
• Rear cross traffic assist (as part of Audi side assist) supports the driver when reversing out of a perpendicular parking space. Indicator arrows in the MMI® display can inform the driver of approaching vehicles, and in critical situations, a warning tone and brake jolt can be applied, prompting the driver to stop the vehicle.
• In the event that a sharp maneuver is needed to avoid a collision, collision avoidance assist (as part of the Driver assistance package) supports the driver when turning into the adjacent lane.
• Turn assist (as part of the Driver Assistance package) can detect the approach of oncoming traffic, when making a left-hand turn at an intersection (when vehicle is traveling above 1 mph and below 7 mph and turn signal is activated).
• Available Adaptive cruise control with stop & go and traffic jam assist helps maintains set distance from the vehicle in front, including braking and accelerating as needed. Between 0-40 mph, traffic jam assist combines acceleration, braking and steering guidance, which can take the stress out of driving in congested traffic.
