For those who aspire to an off-road route, but do not want a Q5, Audi offers the following: the 2010 Allroad Quattro A4.
You probably remember that "Allroad" plaque from the original 1999 A6 Allroad Quattro, which mixes a number of off-road parties in another regular A6 wagon. The A4 Allroad is a concoction - he was raised by 37 mm and 20 mm wider to increase the off-road clearance, while new bumper and rocker panel guards help protect the A4 Allroad debris.
Three engines will initially be offered with two transmissions. The six-speed manual is available only with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel TDI "I-4. The new seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission will be available at both the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 and a larger 3.0-liter diesel V-6. The 2.0 TDI offers 168 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and the 2.0 TFSI is the same torque figures and 208 hp. Opt for the upscale 3.0 TDI yields 237 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.
Helping Allroad gain traction of the road is the Quattro all-wheel-drive, which has a standard 40/60 percent front / rear torque split. The revised version of the Quattro system can send up to 85 percent of its power to the rear and up 65 percent to the front wheels. Traction is constantly controlled by the stability program, which includes "Offroad Detection" to monitor the consistency of surface and adjust accordingly the ESP.
Although it appears that the A4 Allroad Quattro is suitable for most locations Voyage, it will not reach North America - after all, is a market for the new Q5 ...
