2017 Audi Allroad review

1. Spacious passenger interior 

Space to relax has to be non-negotiable if you’re traveling with family and friends, and the five-seat 2017 Allroad is designed to offer exactly that. For your youngest passengers, the second row features two full sets of LATCH fixtures, plus an upper tether for the middle seat too. Upfront, leather bucket seats with an eight-way support adjustment and 41.3 inches of legroom provide the comfort you need for longer trips behind the wheel. In the back, your crew gets 35.7 inches of legroom, cupholders, and essential item storage in the door cubbies and front-row seatback pockets. 

2. Turbocharged power 

Don’t think of this wagon as sensible or slouchy, this is an Audi after all. Equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, the 2017 Audi A4 Allroad delivers 252 hp and 273 pound-feet of torque. For smooth shifts and controlled road response, this powerplant is paired with a standard seven-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission and quattro^® all-wheel drive. The 2017 Allroad excels at on-ramp acceleration, achieving a zero-to-60 time of just 5.9 seconds. 

3. Cargo storage 

Be sure to take advantage of the 2017 A4 Allroad’s handy wagon dimensions. With a standard power liftgate and plenty of cargo cubes for hobbies, sports, and local errands, you can say yes more often to anything that brings you joy. Behind the second row, you’ve got 24.2 cu-ft of space to make use of, ideally suited to school and sports team drop-offs. Fold the second row down for community volunteering days, and you’ll have 58.5 cu-ft of useful hauling space behind the front row.  

4. Trim selection 

With just a single engine option available, why not dig deeper into the available features of the Allroad’s Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims? The Premium base trim has a long list of features including leather seats, panoramic sunroof, and the connectivity convenience of Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ functionality. For more entertainment tech, try the Premium Plus trim, to gain a 19-speaker premium Bang & Olufsen^® surround-sound system. Picking a 2017 Allroad Prestige trim will add more drive assistance, including adaptive cruise control and a head-up visual display. 

5. Ride enjoyment 

As confident and composed on a forest trail, as it is in downtown traffic, the 2017 Allroad has the features and settings to handle whatever your active lifestyle has to offer. Dial into one of the selectable drive modes to switch up the suspension and steering to the conditions coming up ahead. With 6.5 inches of ground clearance, and the standard AWD system engaged, you’ll feel ready to tackle roads covered in snow or the dirt track that leads to your favorite fishing lake.
