The four-wheel-drive A4 allroad quattro is a chunky looking car that blends the practicality of the A4 Avant executive estate and the traction of a 4x4. It gets jacked-up suspension and Audi's quattro four-wheel-drive system. It's only available as an estate, and offers just three engine choices. Neither BMW nor Mercedes-Benz offer direct competitors, but the Subaru Legacy Outback and Saab 9-3X offer similar appeal.

my aunt has been looking for a new wagon for 2 years now and she bought the Audi A4 Allroad a month ago AND SHE LOVES IT!!! she does biking, kayaking and skiing and its perfect for everything. i want one now

[@troyx0]

I love the reviews, you do a splendid job as always, always a pleasure to watch.

[@satnitcboy]

Dyflinn, I was about to completely agree about the size comparison to the XC70, but I did some research and learned that the xc70 lands about smack in between the A4 Allroad and the A6 Allroad. Both Allroads are about the same height, but the 70 is taller. A4 is 185.5" long, the 70 is 190" and the A6 is 195". The 70 is a bit more than an inch wider than the A4, but the A6 is yet another inch wider. The XC70 seems to top both for volume in back - no doubt because of the height and the squarer compartment.

[@jaythebestofmej2441]

Car Buyer Team- your reviews are really good. Keep up the good work

[@boy638]

love the fact you mentioned the saab 9-3X in the description :)

[@racer0897]

Very good review!!! Fantastic as always!

[@wparo]

Cheers Reb. nice review.

[@Vatierville]

I am simply in love with this woman and her knowledge of cars!

[@ViveSemelBeneVivere]

I don't think it is fair to compare the A4 Allroad boot space to the XC70. A fairer comparison would be the A6 Allroad and XC70, they're a closer match car-size wise.

[@LASR71]

Haters gonna hate! I had an Audi, and loved the interior, one of the best there was. But wasn´t satisfied with it, for budget reasons went for a Volvo and like it very much. Not the car I desire, though, would love a C class...but I appreciate all the well designed details from european cars. I can´t talk anything negative about Audi except for a subjective opinion about stability of the car, but to each one its own. Germans know what they are doing in cars.

[@HesteBremse]

Wauw! i did not read the title and only realized it was an A4 not A6 in the end scene. Nice ride if you can afford it and go skiing often. BTW she is a charmer ;)

[@madtvpt]

Great review :-)

[@tmwall25]

i love this car; perfect everyday car

[@JoeBob79569]

Making an issue about the seats not lying flat kind of makes it sound like people go shopping for flat-pack furniture every week!

[@MultiRyan2112]

What would you recommend between this and the A6 allroad?

[@joshstreet3919]

I think you should get a corsa 1.2, we have one and they are pretty good!!

[@zarys76]

Nice review Rebecca! Unfortunately new Audi is too expensive, for me at least... :-/

[@rickslick730]

Nice review! and again, i like them black jeans:-)

[@boneyyayo1105]

one of the best estate cars

[@4dshow]

She's just so cute! Such a good reviewer

[@jmmpdfdg]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !! REVIEW THE VOLVO XC70 :) Good engines and good looking style !!

[@rorioshi]

El Nuevo Audi A4 Allroad tiene la misma plataforma que el Audi A6 Allroad viejo???

[@MrTrainFrog]

Ok, the Volvo xc70 dosent compet with the a4 allroad. The xc70 competes with the a6 allroad. The v60 cross country competes with the a4 allroad. The boot is barely different from the avant so why is it a complaint?

[@JohnInSale]

The Audi A6 Allroad is the size rival to the Volvo XC70 and Subaru Outback not this A4 version !!! In your reviews it would be interesting if you gave the on the road price of the test car. As that one was really loaded with goodies to influence the testers. I'll stick with my original Allroad, great second hand car !!!

[@TehIslamicDefender]

Can I ask, what's the diff between touring car and estate car?

[@shingota24]

Your accent is super pleasant

[@intercity234]

When will we get car reviews that aren't estates can't you review the seat Toledo for instead or the jaguar e type

[@Pienimusta]

How audies are as winter cars ?

[@donshrimpton]

'Telly Phoney', is that similar to telephony ? ;-D

[@gunsnflamethrowers]

pickups are way more expensive to run and generally, unless you are a tradesman, in the UK, we don't really need pickups as much. I guess the argument with these cars is that they are a lot nicer to drive compared to a pickup and work better in the UK, but I get what you mean about this car being a bit pointless, you might as well get a small 4x4 if you are going to go off road or an estate car if you aren't

[@Thatcanonguy1]

Reviev the a6 allso! Realy like those two cars!

[@janrdoh]

How are the reviews to short? All points were covered without being long winded or saying stuff just to fill in time.

[@MrGegere]

My dream car

[@phamm17]

isnt this car already reviewed

[@LOOOOLBcp]

listen to this then ; What about putting the sits down and see how space we can share there ? :P

[@Duron13]

Hey mate, how are the 1950s doing lately ?

[@aakash272]

Are you addressing Carbuyer or Rebecca o_O ?

[@ImHereToAnnoyYou]

Looks like you can play table tennis in the back, but apparently it's not so good at going off-road because it doesn't have the raising air suspension that the old one did.

[@Mububban23]

"Even my mum has heard of an Audi Quattro." I imagine Rebecca's mum has heard of many more cars than your average mum :-)

[@Kingkongy24]

Am I the only one that watches CarBuyer reviews because they're well presented and infomative; not for Rebecca? Thumbs up if I'm not (Y)

[@rosales91]

So many estate car reviews

I agree with you

[@midoz70]

yes,it is.

[@omadaiz9673]

How about a Carbuyer Harlem Shake???

[@maxandsyd14]

theres so many estates!

[@EvilMonkeyProject]

Hey, im coming up 17 and im looking for a car, but i dont know what car to get! I obviously need something cheap to own and run e.g Low insurance and high mpg, something pretty nice to own! (No 1 liters, i hate them) If anyone can help please message me with ideas! Thank you

[@Tillolo79]

nice

[@dogzer]

10/10 would marry

[@Selleswiet]

They should try to make the plastic more appealing, maybe colouring it black would help.

[@midoz70]

Quattro isn't just a system,but a whole division like AMG or the BMW M brand

[@boyhash1]

Attack of the scarf!!

[@sutej94]

This car is good!

[@godzillasballs]

from....?

[@matthewburno]

only problem with this car is the "hill" with the seats down.

[@viorelholhos]

You cant compare the x70 with the a4 allroad. Its rival is the a6 allroad which is much bigger and the subaru legacy was designed for families so it must to have a big boot because it doesnt excell on the other things.

[@lightbulbisbright]

Man the U.K. has so many different engine choices

[@futbol4754]

back sit?

[@necridkee]

You can hear that rebecca has a cold, get well soon.

[@tommyhartman7920]

Ah, I miss my Blackberry Bold

[@Danial0152]

2013 Vogue

[@EnhancedNightmare]

Allroads are thinking mans cars

[@FiredEmpire]

USD65000 in Japan...you can buy 2 subarus for such a large amount of money but you know 1 audi doesn't drive twice as good as 1 subaru.

[@munktorp]

Please Rebecca,learn about different car classes becouse on 3:35 you said that is smaller than Volvo XC70. Volvo XC70 is not in class with A4 ! It´s in class with A6 Allroad !

[@munktorp]

***** Ingen Volvo älskare ! Menade storleksmässigt. Har inget med priset att göra.

[@bighands69]

+munktorp They are off road cars that happen to be in the same price range. XC70 is not exactly a hardcore off road vehicle.

[@OnyxIdol]

These videos are like potato chips... I can't stop watching them.

[@dom1abc1mbc]

what new range rover ?

[@dudupruvinelli1]

Unfortunately, audi cars in Brazil are so expensive! The A1 costs $45k

[@godzillasballs]

are you Muscleman?

[@tsneil]

I watch all of these videos and I think Rebecca's turned a corner with this review. Her delivery seemed less scripted and she flowed nicely even if she did sound a little like she had a cold.

[@HowkeyLL]

I smell Jeremy Clarkson at 2:30

[@Joe-eg7ml]

wheres the bannana???

[@joshstreet3919]

Still prefer bmw 3 series X drive touring as you can have the normal SE, sport, modern, luxury and M Sport

[@milosilic23]

The name. Companies today want to spice things up, and convince you that you are not driving an estate, but something cool, like a sportswagon, or a sports tourer. Basically, it's an estate with a fancy name.

[@solurban]

Guys!

[@troyx0]

Rebecca, I disagree, the price is not a negative. Germans spend a lot on R&D for a quality product. Why do you think American fighter jets cost so much more than British, French, Russian, or Swedish. There's no comparison.

[@wiseonesean1111]

Not bad

[@MrL1mey]

Now that I've lived in the US for fifteen years, whenever I hear "tick a few boxes" it makes me think more of giving someone crabs than placing a check mark.

[@solurban]

@MahmoudSuliman I think you should care about the car!

[@echerechesiu]

Why would you need the 3.0 L engine?

[@problemslayer3538]

Towing

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

Which is silly, because that would make it the "Audi A4 Allroad Before".

[@aqwayne]

I like Rebecca's jacket, where can I get a guy version? hehe

[@poolking7862000]

Oh and forgot to mention VW golf VW polo

[@Sebibo31]

We want mat...

[@poolking7862000]

And forgot to mention VW golf and VW polo

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

People buy this car in Portugal, to use it in good roads where there never is dirt, snow or gravel... What a shame.

[@Vanrocco66]

She's a cutie!! I LLLLLLLIKE her!

[@softytop1000]

Shes certainly a tidy package! I wonder if she comes with the car?!

[@heymanhey19]

I love you

[@chentorrychelsea]

Nice taste in phones!!!

[@audia6c683]

Holy fck. This is same size as my old A6, maybe even bigger

[@Underhills]

Audi A6 C4 Dont think so? The A6 has always been substantially larger (length and weight) than any A4.

[@audia6c683]

ventende​ A4 is wider (1841-1783 mm), little bit shorter (4721 - 4791 mm), higher (1495 - 1435 mm) and weight is quite same or even heavier (A4 1630 kg, A6 1470 to 1610 kg). So, I had right :P

[@Underhills]

What A6 are you referring to? Are you in the US?

[@audia6c683]

Nope. Europe. But A6 C4 was in us too

[@Underhills]

A6 is bigger than the A4. That's kinda the concept.

[@thesrt8dodge]

You can't compare this car with a Volvo xc70! The Xc has to be compared with the a6 all road !!

[@Propofo1040]

WE WANT ADAM

[@JJVR46VLOGS]

That's the only problem with allroads is that they have always been hideously expensive :/

[@mert2mert]

I do not like carbuyer's reviews but they are way better than "the zombies reviewing cars". Oh, I mean "whatcar". A question mark on a red square is their logo:)

[@klystron44]

We only need these all roads because most cars now have no ground clearance.

[@bighands69]

+klystron44 Most people want comfort and fuel economy.

[@peacockealot]

A lovely car but the Skoda Superb Outdoor plus is better value and does pretty much what the Audi does.

[@linu4592]

but the superb is a a6 :)

[@peacockealot]

Linu none of the Skoda Superb generations share any A6 platforms. The 2008 to 2013 FL superb are based on a "stretched" A5 Octavia chassis.

[@linu4592]

peacockealot But the size is comparable to a a6

[@heatmakerr12]

Rebecca has the sniffles!

[@matamatem]

i don't think it's my "fredoom" to insult u for this typing or spelling mistake...... however discussion is over

[@ThomasWilliams89]

yet another estate review

[@Babel368]

If only they made it with conventional A4 bumpers, rather than the cheap looking plastic ones

[@tahhu]

skoda octavia scout
