Description
The humble estate will always hold a special place in enthusiast's hearts. Add a little more ground clearance and couple it with an advanced AWD system and you're onto something just that little bit more... special. The Audi A4 (B9) Allroad S-tronic Quattro captures that essence entirely - and more.
Introduced back in 1980, the AWD Quattro system took the world by storm courtesy of its major success in rally racing, especially in Group B. Dial the rally car-ready versions back a smidge and offer added boot space as we have here in Avant form (that's an estate, in Audi-speak) and we could be looking at one of the coolest load-luggers ever produced.
This 2016 model is powered by the renowned 2.0 TDI that puts out a healthy 190bhp. But the real trick this Allroad has up its sleeve is the available torque; courtesy of this being a diesel, the torque figures come in at a seriously impressive 400Nm (295lbft) @ approx. 1,750-3,000rpm. No, this Allroad ain't lazy. And as an added bonus you can expect to see mid-50 mpg's on a combined cycle. Yes, this stylish load-lugger pretty much does it all.
Speaking of stylish, the black paint on this particular example is absolutely stunning. Match that over a full black leather interior and you've got something really quite, well, amazing. Loaded with features including some nice bespoke touches from the current owner, this A4 Allroad is ready to be put to use immediately.
