In southern Europe the new Audi A4 Allroad has been spotted prior to its unveiling.
An upmarket rival to the likes of the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, Volvo V60 Cross Country and Seat Leon X-Perience. The fifth-generation A4 saloon and Avant are already on sale and doing brilliantly well so far. Audi has confirmed that soon the range will be joined by the successor to the current Allroad after its launch. It will be powered by most frugal Audi diesel engine for better economy.
A4’s range of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines will be powering these models. The entry-level is going to be a petrol engine producing 148bhp and returning 57.7mpg of combined fuel economy and 114g/km of CO2 emissions.

Like always, the best-seller will be the model powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine which in order to comply with Euro 6 emissions regulations, will be getting an AdBlue exhaust injection system. It will be offered in to power outputs – a 148bhp or the 187bhp, capable of returning up to 74.3mpg with 99g/km of CO2 emissions.

All these engines will be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard or a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic gearbox as optional. Quattro all-wheel drive will be standard on the Allroad models.
So far what has been learned about the changes in the new Allroad is the rise in ride height by 37mm over standard A4 Avant and body cladding around its lower edges. To counteract the car’s higher centre of gravity, it is highly likely that car’s track will be widened too.

With the rear seats up 505 litres of storage space and when folded down, rising to 1,510 litres. The trim and options along with cabin architecture will be taken from the A4 saloon.
The prices for the 2016 Audi A4 Allroad have not been revealed yet but since the current A4 Allroad starts at £32,765, it is believed that the new one will attract a £5,000 premium over the equivalent A4 saloon.
