What is a "wagon off-road», An independent class of cars or a subclass of crossovers? Who owns the championship, Subaru, which introduced the Legacy Outback all-wheel drive station wagon with slightly increased ground clearance in 1995, or the American AMC brand, which has sunk into history, whose engineers, back in 1979, equipped the Concorde station wagon with an all-wheel drive transmission borrowed from Jeep cars, and named your brainchild Eagle?
Universal story
Let us present these controversies with scholasticism to specialists in the history of the automobile industry. This is not so important today. It is important that the idea came to the court, and today at the services of those who want to get a roomy universal car that is not afraid of bad roads, there is the Subaru Outback. Skoda Octavia Scout, Opel Insignia Country tourer, VW Golf and Passat Alltrack, Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain, VolvoVolvo V90, V60 and V40 Cross Country, Peugeot 508 RXH… I have listed only the models equipped with all-wheel drive. And, of course, this range would be incomplete without two Audi brands, the A4 and the A6 Allroad Quattro.
The Audi brand entered the club of off-road station wagons in February 2000, when the Allroad model was shown at the Geneva Motor Show, built on the basis of the Audi A6 Avant of the C5 generation. In May 2006, it was replaced by a model in the back of C6, and at the beginning of 2012 - and C7. In general, the experiment was recognized as successful, and back in 2009 (or rather, somewhat earlier), the company's management decided that the range of SCPs could be expanded. No sooner said than done, and the first generation A4 Allroad Quattro was born, based on the A4 Avant of the B8 generation. This car was produced until the last, 2016, having undergone a slight facelift in 2011. Finally, the new B9 generation Audi A4 Allroad Quattro was introduced last year. It is about him that will be discussed ...

Twins, but not twins
In accordance with the canons of the genre, the A4 Allroad differs little in appearance from its purely asphalt brother A4 Avant. An elegant silhouette, a clear side line connecting the sharp corners of the front and rear lighting technology, and a strongly tilted C-pillar - all this hints at some kind of sporting ambition. But there are still some visible differences ... This is a protective belt made of unpainted black ABS plastic, which encircled the lower part of the car, and massive linings of the same material that cover the wheel arches, and tires with a higher profile, and, of course , increased by as much as 34 mm ground clearance. The rest of the A4 Allroad is a typical representative of the corporate Audi style, with its perfectly balanced proportions, energetic, but quite "classic" outlines, angular headlights, massive hexagonal radiator grille without dividing into upper and lower parts. By the way, there is one more feature that makes it possible to distinguish between regular and off-road versions of the A6 and A4 station wagons. In the Avant version, the lamellas are horizontal, while in the Allroad they are vertical.

Everything here is close and familiar
Curb weight
But inside ... Anyone who has driven any of the Audi models marked with a letter of the Latin alphabet and a number greater than "3" at least once will immediately feel the familiar atmosphere of "techno-luxury". He will not be surprised by either the "virtual panel", that is, a 12-inch screen that replaces the instrument cluster, nor the "yacht" selector of a robotic seven-speed dual-clutch box, nor the display of the media system towering above the central console in the form of a separate "tablet", nor the "washer" rotor - the controller, which controls the functions displayed on it, nor the "asymmetric" (or rather, only looking like) steering wheel covered with soft and non-slip leather. Naturally, Audi is Audi, so there can be no complaints about the interior trim. And soft quality plastic, and excellent soft leather, and present in a small amount of metal finish, and details from thrown wood are pleasing to the eye and to the touch. And yet you do not have a feeling of home comfort. Rather, you have associations with the executive office of a modern, prosperous mid-market company operating in the high tech... Solid, strict, moderately sporty and very functional.

Accurate to the millimeter
Naturally, the ergonomics of the driver's seat have been verified to the millimeter, and even people with a very non-standard figure will be able to get comfortable behind the wheel. The backrest is slightly forward, the seats themselves are down and slightly backward, the extension of the pillow should be extended, and the lumbar support should be slightly strengthened. Everything, the workplace is ready. It is a pity that I had to lower the seat down. I like to sit a little higher, but this is still not a Q5 with a "semi-command" landing and high enough doors, so if I left the seat in the position it occupied (apparently, before me Allroad was driven by a short man), then, when landing, I would constantly knock my head on the upper edge of the doorway and the front pillar, and the landing process itself would resemble crawling into the side hatch of an armored personnel carrier. The extremely comfortable multifunction steering wheel with heating, and the correct organization of the controls placed on its spokes, speaks of the highest qualifications of German ergonomists. They are designed in such a way that even during the most active taxiing, you are not threatened by accidental switching of radio ranges, tracks or volume changes, and the cruise control is completely placed on a separate steering column switch.

What do you have against the Chinese?
Well, in the second row there is quite enough space (at least for me to be able to take a place "by myself"), and its inhabitants are not deprived of design concern: they have their own microclimate regulator and a 12-volt socket for connecting mobile devices. The driver and front passenger can use the cigarette lighter socket or USB slot located in the bowels of the armrest box. By the way, the test car did not have such a common feature for the latest generations of Audi as wireless charging for a smartphone. But when ordering, you do not need to add this option at the price of 23,841 rubles. Another question is whether you need it or not. For example, my "shovel" with a six-inch diagonal simply does not fit on the charging pad. Speaking of smartphones ... This is not the first time I notice that the media systems of the new Audi are not very friendly with Chinese electronics. My Xiaomi “registers” into the system without any problems, but when playing music, frames constantly drop out of its memory and tiny pauses appear, and incoming phone calls are not received the first time. Perhaps users of gadgets with a gnawed apple on the back cover will not have such problems, but that is, that is, and I cannot sin on the smartphone itself: such problems do not arise in cars of other brands.
A4 vs Q5
Trunk volume
Finally, the trunk. A station wagon is simply obliged to provide sufficient volume to carry a variety of luggage. So in the case of the A4 Allroad, the trunk volume is a solid 505 (according to other sources - 510 liters), and by folding the rear seats, you can carry one and a half cubic meters of various goods. It seemed to me that in this parameter the A4 Allroad should surpass the Audi Q5 built on the same platform. But no! These two cars have exactly the same wheelbase, but despite the fact that the body of the Q5 is shorter by 87 mm, it has a larger boot volume at 550 liters! True, the loading height is also greater, which is 759 mm versus 663. Well, the Allroad trunk is equipped very rationally: in the compartment closest to the bumper under the raised floor there is a spare wheel and a regular compressor, in the far compartment there is a jack and tools, there is a niche with a net for a first-aid kit and small items, and the warning triangle has been removed in a special compartment on the fifth door, which is equipped with a servo drive.

How much are the options for the people
Average fuel consumption per 100 km
Journalists are already accustomed to the fact that Audi cars that they receive for the test are saturated to the limit with electronic driver assistance systems. But having got used to driving, I quickly realized that this time I got a complete set without a number of systems. The car did not even have a rear view camera, although when driving reverse dynamic marking lines were correctly displayed on the screen of the media system. But what's the use of red curves on a gray background, without a real image of the surrounding space? At the same time, like all station wagons, the A4 Allroad does not differ far from the best visibility back, and the side mirrors look nice, but the size is far from heroic. I had to park on the sound. No, of course, not until the characteristic bumper hit, but focusing on the squeak of parking sensors. This does not mean that all these systems are not available to A4 Allroad owners. You just have to pay extra for them: for a rear-view camera - 31 616 rubles, for the Audi pre sense basic package - 17 586 rubles, for the package of assistance systems "City" - 104 629 rubles, for the package of assistance systems "Parking" - 122 808 rubles, for a head-up display - 68,765 rubles, and, finally, for an automatic parking system - 44,304 rubles. But even without all these sweets, the configurator showed that the cost of a test copy is 3 621 748 rubles. But ... I think the car is worth it. Because it is very pleasant to drive.
Let him decide ...
On the one hand, you have all the advantages of a 249-horsepower turbo engine that is uncontested, powerful and responsive. The lower gears of the S-tronic robotic box are made very short, and the engine delivers a torque of 370 nM in the range from 1600 to 4500 rpm. As a result, starting from a standstill turns out to be just a hurricane, and acceleration to hundreds takes only 6.1 seconds. The top gears, on the other hand, are rather long, so that the engine speed remains very low when driving evenly. Naturally, the revs at which the gear changes take place depend on the selected mode, and the Offroad mode has been added to the usual Efficiency, Comfort, Dynamic and Individual modes. Can't choose which mode to turn on? Don't worry, turn on Auto. Electronics itself will understand which mode is more suitable for a given situation, and will make an unmistakable choice. In any case, the Offroad mode turned on both when I decided to drive one wheel onto the curb, and at the moment when I was overcoming the section of the street with the asphalt removed. By the way, unlike the pilot of the A5 Coupe, the driver of the A4 Allroad should not be afraid of curbs: the lower bumper covers are at a sufficient height. You should not, of course, assume that on the A4 Allroad you can rush to conquer the real off-road. Still, there is a huge distance between the consonant concepts of Allroad and Offroad. But the car will cope with a broken grader without any difficulty, and the speed in such conditions can be kept high enough, counting, first of all, on the energy intensity of the suspension and excellent handling.
Sales market: Russia.
