The 2015 Audi Allroad can be a family-sized wagon with
brawny doing you hair, perky on-the-road performance, and a tad bit more
rough-road and all-weather toughness than the usual typical sedan. It's really
a model in whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

2015 Audi Allroad

While the previous edition in the Audi Allroad had been
built with A6 underpinnings - the current Allroad is built on the same platform
as the A4, and it's a tidier vehicle for the item. It's still a station wagon
with a slightly taller ride height–earning it both many of the advantages of an
off-pavement SUV, without compromising too many in the driving dynamics found
in some sort of sports sedan.
The
2015 Audi Allroad pushes the rugged look on the outside
- but purchasing an off-road permit for it could be a little much. There aren't
chops here for over casual off-pavement driving—a gravel street sounds about
right—but the Allroad's stability control features a special mode which allows
for more wheelspin, in case it's stuck in muck and would need to extract
itself. Ground clearance is 7. 1 inches—less than this Subaru Outback, but
about exactly like some 'soft' crossovers—and the
Audi Allroad provides some
modest skid-plate and underbody security for light trailblazing.

Seating inside Allroad is excellent, although the tight back
seat can be a limiting factor. In front, even the camp seats provide great
support for longer highway trips, with adequate side support, too. In back
again, the seating position is a lttle bit low, and perhaps better contoured
than practically in most crossovers - but there's simply no place for knees and
feet for taller adults. With 27. 6 cubic feet behind a corner bench, and an
easy-folding couch arrangement, the Audi Allroad is ideal for making room for
weekend projects and also other cargo needs. Flip everything forward so you
have up to 50 cubic legs.

2015 Audi Allroad Review and Release Date
|
The
2015 Audi Allroad is in line with the A4 architecture,
and while it hasn't yet been rated with the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safe practices (IIHS), it's earned five-star frontal and side impact ratings in
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Noteworthy safety
options include adaptive cruise control that will stop the car completely from
boosts to 19 mph; blind-spot monitors plus a rearview camera are also
accessible, as are rear-seat airbags. Awareness, however, is pretty good, due
to the tall glass areas, but even with the back parking sensors and rear camera
afforded to the vast majority of lineup, the bulbous hood obscures in which the
front corners are.
Under the cloak of some cladding and the extra promise of a
tad bit more trail-running lift is the Audi A4 Avant; on this occasion we're
only getting the Allroad, that's upstyled to connect the dots between A4 lineup
and the Q5 crossover. And the Outbacked treatment works very nicely, with its
raised ride top, distinctive lower-body look, and aluminum exterior trim. The Audi
Allroad carries a stronger stance from the facet, while at the front there's a
tad bit more presence, probably due to this vertically ribbed grille - Trim LED
headlamps are chamfered at the summit corners for a subdued, sophisticated
appearance throughout the nose, while wide fog lamps add substance listed
below. Most models get a matte-finish cladding with the lower body and around
this wheel wells, but a higher-gloss look can be purchased.
