Test Drive Audi A4 Allroad: Taste

In the spring of this year, AUDI presented the A4 Allroad model, which continued the tradition of the company to fill all possible classes and segments.
Back in 1999, when in Ingolstadt gave birth to the first all-day Audi A6 Allroad, a brand with four rings on the hood was opened by a new class, which was failed to many lover of practicality and universalism. With passenger chas and excellent handling, the A6 Allroad has been equipped with a pneumatic, serious protection of the bottom, practical plastic body kit and even a demultiplier.

In Russia, Audi A4 Allroad comes with a 2.0-liter 211-strong gasoline turbo engine capacity of 211 hp Presumably, at the beginning of next year, versions with diesel engines 2.0 and 3.0 liters with a capacity of 170 and 240 hp will be available. respectively.
Later, the present boom of crossovers began. Audi introduced the popular Q7 and compact Q5. In turn, the new generation of Audi A6 Allroad occupied the so-called image niche. The saznodnik received a glamorous painted body body kit, the range of pneumatic suspension decreased, the proportion of versatility was lost. At the same time, the cost of A6 Allroad begins with the translated plank at 2,370,000 rubles. So it turns out that on 10 SUVs Audi Q7 accounts for only one Allroad.

Salon Audi - Ergonomics and Quality Standard. Optional front knee-supported chairs have excellent profile and developed side rollers.
Despite this, we could not miss the second representative of the Ozdi A4 Allroad Family. Immediately make a reservation, that, in fact, A4 Allroad is the same wagon A4 Avant. The difference is minimal: longer springs, other shock absorbers, minimally expanded rut and plastic body kit in a circle. As a result, the a4 Allroad clearance rose from 143 to 180 mm.

Technically A4 Allroad completely repeats its fellow A4 AVANT. The difference in longer springs and other shock absorbers. The result is increased to 180 mm clearance.
The gamma engines consists of three aggregates: 211-strong gasoline TFSI with a volume of 2.0 liters, as well as two diesel engines with a volume of 2.0 and 3.0 liters with a capacity of 170 and 240 hp. respectively. But since the diesel engines on the passenger cars do not complain, and before Russia, such alrhroads have not yet reached, then we had a gasoline version of the passing from Ingolstadt.
I sit in the salon. Rich! Optional sports chairs with excellent side support and adjustable knees are met by home coat, but at the same time tightly keep in turns and do not get tired on the dumplings. Before your eyes, the traditional Audyushny instrument panel with a clear digitization, an informative display in the middle and pleasant illumination.

Passengers with greater growth on the Audi A4 Allroad gallery will be closely.
On the tunnel between the seats, the MMI keys is already familiar with the help of which after an hour spent driving, you can blindly manage all the benefits of civilization, including a shocked Bang & Olufsen audio system, convenient navigation and other car settings.

Branded LED Cilia and Trapezoid Radiator Grille - Business Card of the Total Audi Model Row.
Provided that both the front and rear passengers of the average growth, on the gallery, can be quite worn even threesome, but if your fellow travelers are larger, then wait for the resentment about the low ceiling and cramped in the shoulders. The trunk is quite spacious with 490 liters of useful volume. If you decompose the rear row of seats, the cargo compartment will be able to take 1430 liters of cargo.

With the help of the MMI, the MMI keys can blindly control all the functions of the vehicle, including the optional Bang & Olufsen audio system and navigation.
In Russia, gasoline A4 Allroad comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed robotic S-Tronic gearbox with double clutch. I remember that the same tandem motor + transmission was on the Audi Q5 crossover, which visited our test at the end of February.

 
Stylish plastic body body kit highlights Audi Allroad from a total stream.
The tandem is the same, but also the diseases are the same, therefore, like the K5 crossover, Ollroad thinks too long at the start. This time I learned to put pressure on the gay in a second before it is necessary to open gas and shoot from the start, thereby levuring the notorious delay. Having reached our mutual understanding, A4 Allroad gave me an excellent burden in the entire range of torque peak (from 1500 to 4000 rpm). Yes, and the transmission here does not leave: both up and down shifting clear and fast. The thrust only falls after 140 km / h, which can be avoided if you go to the manual transmission control mode and make S-Tronic unscrew each stage until it stops.

A spacious trunk with a volume of 490 liters has all the rods as the cargo compartment of the usual Universal Audi A4 Avant.
And how it ruls! Excellent feedback with steering Dynamic Steering, which enhances or reduces the injection force depending on the speed of movement. The passage of aggregates is accompanied by a small roll, but the trajectory is written unmistakable, the constant four-wheel drive with the Torsen self-block at any second is ready to transfer the necessary dose of the moment to the desired axis, and the ESP stabilization system is vigilantly follows the driver's errors.
 

The instrument panel has excellent informative and a pleasant eye backlight. For an additional fee of the Audi A4 Allroad, you can equip the panoramic roof, the front half of which is a sliding electrolyk. Using the AUDI Drive Select keys, the driver can choose the preferred transmission settings mode.
The direct Audi A4 Allroad holds perfectly at any speeds. Noock and lying in a rut. Brakes are excellent: you can dose the pedal effort at an intuitive level, the car will tell you how much he needs.
Together with an enlarged clearance, which allows the sorcerer to easily storm urban borders and yard drifts, and even to conquer alone, but still off-road, A4 Allroad is an excellent choice of a practical universal premium car. The basic cost of Audi A4 Allroad is 1,557,000 rubles. But surcharge 172 thousand, you can look in the direction of an even more universal and off-road Audi Q5, which also has a large volume of the trunk.
So what awaits a new sortier in Russia? Most likely, he repeats the path of the older model A6 Allroad, which occupied the transitional niche between the Audi A6 and Q7 popular in Russia. But this interclaceness is only on the hand of Ollpadov owners. Moreover, the price visited the well-packed version on the test close to the mark of 2.5 million rubles. How many are ready to go to such sacrifices? Right, no. After all, this is a matter of taste, exclusive as - in no way!
