What is "universal" off-road”, an independent class of cars or a subclass of crossovers? Who owns the championship Subaru, which presented in 1995 an all-wheel drive station wagon with a slightly increased ground clearance Legacy Outback, or sunk into history American mark AMC, whose engineers equipped the Concorde station wagon back in 1979 all-wheel drive transmission, borrowed from Jeep cars, and named their brainchild Eagle?
Universal history
We leave these scholastic-smelling disputes to specialists in the history of the automotive industry. Today it is not so important. The important thing is that the idea came to the court, and today it is at the service of those who want to get a roomy universal car not afraid bad roads, There is Subaru Outback, Skoda Octavia scout, Opel Insignia Country Tourer, VW Golf and Passat Alltrack, mercedes-benz e-class All-Terrain, VolvoVolvo V90, V60 and V40 Cross Country, Peugeot 508 RXH… I have listed only models equipped with all-wheel drive. And, of course, this series will be incomplete without two UPP brand Audi, A4 and A6 Allroad Quattro.
The Audi brand has joined the manufacturer's club all-terrain station wagons in February 2000, code on Geneva Motor Show The Allroad model was shown, built on the basis of the C5 generation Audi A6 Avant. In May 2006, it was replaced by the C6 model, and in early 2012 by the C7. In general, the experiment was considered successful, and back in 2009 (or rather, a little earlier), the company's management decided that the range of soft starters could be expanded. No sooner said than done, and the first generation of the A4 Allroad Quattro was born, built on the basis of the A4 Avant of the B8 generation. This car was produced until the last, 2016, having undergone a light facelift in 2011. Finally, the new Audi A4 Allroad was introduced last year. Generation Quattro AT 9. That is what we are going to talk about…

Twins but not twins
In accordance with the canons of the genre, the A4 Allroad differs little in appearance from its purely asphalt brother A4 Avant. An elegant silhouette, a clear lateral line connecting sharp corners front and rear lighting, and a strongly inclined rear pillar - all this hints at some sporting ambitions. But there are still some visible differences ... This is a protective belt made of unpainted black ABS plastic that surrounds the lower part of the car, and massive lining of the same material that covers the wheel arches, and tires with more high profile, and, of course, increased ground clearance by as much as 34 mm. The rest of the A4 Allroad is a typical representative of the branded Audi style, with its perfectly proportioned, energetic, but quite "classic" outlines, angular headlights, a massive hexagonal radiator shield without division into upper and lower parts. By the way, there is another feature that allows you to distinguish between conventional and off-road versions of the A6 and A4 station wagons. In the case of the Avant version, the veneer lamellas are arranged horizontally, while in the Allroad they are vertical.

Everything here is close and familiar
Curb weight
Well, inside ... Anyone who has ever driven any of the Audi models, marked with a letter of the Latin alphabet and a number greater than "3", will immediately feel the familiar atmosphere of "techno-luxury". He will not be surprised either by the “virtual panel”, that is, a 12-inch screen that replaces the instrument cluster, or the “yacht” selector of the robotic seven-speed dual-clutch box, or the display of the media system towering above the center console in the form of a separate “tablet”, or the “washer” rotor - a controller that controls the functions displayed on it, nor an “asymmetric” steering wheel covered with soft and non-slip leather (or rather, only looking like that). Naturally, Audi is Audi, so there simply cannot be any claims to interior trim. And soft high-quality plastic, and excellent soft leather, and a small amount of metal trim, and details from abandoned wood are pleasant both to the eye and to the touch. And yet you do not have a feeling of home comfort. Rather, you have associations with the office of the manager of a modern, successful, middle-class company operating in the field of high technology. Solid, strict, moderately sporty and very functional.

Accurate to the millimeter
Naturally, ergonomics driver's seat adjusted to the millimeter, and even people with a very non-standard figure will be able to comfortably get behind the wheel. The backrest is slightly forward, the seats themselves are down and slightly back, the pillow extension is extended, and the lumbar support is slightly strengthened. All, workplace ready. It's a pity that I had to lower the seat down. I like to sit a little higher, but this is still not a Q5 with a “semi-commander” fit and high enough doors, so if I left the seat in the position it occupied (apparently, a short person drove the Allroad before me), then when landing, he would constantly knock his head on the upper edge of the doorway and the front pillar, and the landing process itself would resemble crawling into the side hatch of an armored personnel carrier. The exceptionally comfortable heated multifunction steering wheel and the correct organization of the controls placed on its spokes speak of the highest qualification of German ergonomists. They are designed so that even during the most active taxiing you are not in danger of accidentally switching radio bands, tracks or changing the volume, and cruise control is completely moved to a separate steering column switch.

What do you have against the Chinese?
Well, on the second row there is enough space (at least for me to take a seat “by myself”), and its inhabitants are not deprived of design care: they have their own microclimate regulator and a 12-volt outlet for connections mobile devices. driver and front passenger can use a cigarette lighter socket or a USB slot located in the bowels of the armrest box. By the way, in the test car there was no such usual for Audi latest generations"chips" like wireless charger for smartphone. But when ordering, it costs you nothing to add this option at a price of 23,841 rubles. Another question is whether you need it or not. For example, my "shovel" with a six-inch diagonal simply does not fit on the charging pad. Speaking of smartphones… This is not the first time I notice that the media systems of the new Audi are not very friendly with Chinese electronics. My Xiaomi "registers" into the system without any problems, but when playing music, frames constantly fall out of its memory and tiny pauses occur, and incoming phone calls are not received the first time. Perhaps, users of gadgets with a gnawed apple on the back cover will not have such problems, but what is, that is, and I can’t sin on the smartphone itself: there are no such problems in cars of other brands.
A4 vs. Q5
Trunk volume
Finally, the trunk. A station wagon is simply obliged to provide sufficient volume to carry a variety of luggage. So in the case of the A4 Allroad, the trunk volume is a solid 505 (according to other sources - 510 liters), and by folding the rear seats, you can carry one and a half cubic meters of various cargoes. It seemed to me that the A4 Allroad should surpass the Audi Q5 built on the same platform in this parameter. But no! These two cars have exactly the same wheelbase, but, despite the fact that the Q5 body is shorter by 87 mm, it has more trunk volume and amounts to 550 liters! True, the loading height is also larger, which is 759 mm versus 663. Well, the Allroad trunk is equipped very rationally: in the compartment closest to the bumper, under the raised floor, there is a spare wheel and a regular compressor, in the far one there is a jack and tools, there is a niche with a mesh for a first aid kit and small things, a sign emergency stop removed in a special compartment on the fifth door, equipped with a servo.

How much options for the people
Average consumption fuel per 100 km
Journalists are used to the fact that Audi cars The ones they get to test are packed full of electronic driver assistance systems. But having mastered driving, I quickly realized that this time I got a complete set without a number of systems. The car did not even have a rear view camera, although when driving in reverse dynamic marking lines were correctly displayed on the screen of the media system. But what's the use of red curves on a gray background, without a real image of the surrounding space? At the same time, like all station wagons, the A4 Allroad does not differ by far from the best rear visibility, and side mirrors they look nice, but the size is far from heroic. I had to park "on sound". No, of course, not to the characteristic bumper bump, but focusing on the squeak of parking sensors. The foregoing does not mean that all these systems are not available to owners of the A4 Allroad. You just have to pay extra for them: for the rear view camera - 31,616 rubles, for the Audi pre sense basic package - 17,586 rubles, for the package of assistive systems "City" - 104,629 rubles, for the package of assistive systems "Parking" - 122,808 rubles, behind projection display- 68,765 rubles, and, finally, for the system automatic parking- 44 304 rubles. But even without all these goodies, the configurator showed that the cost of the test copy is 3,621,748 rubles. But ... It seems to me that the car is worth it. Because it is very pleasant to drive it.
Let him decide...
On the one hand, you have all the advantages of a non-alternative 249-horsepower turbo engine, powerful and responsive. lower gears robotic box S-tronics are made very short, and the engine delivers 370 NM of torque in the range from 1600 to 4500 rpm. As a result, the start from a standstill turns out to be just a hurricane, and acceleration to a hundred takes only 6.1 seconds. Higher gears, on the contrary, are quite long, so when uniform motion engine speed remains very low. Naturally, the speed at which the gear change occurs depends on the selected mode, and Offroad mode has been added to the usual Efficiency, Comfort, Dynamic and Individual modes. Can't choose which mode to turn on? Don't worry, turn on Auto. Electronics itself will understand which mode is more suitable for a given situation, and will make an unmistakable choice. In any case, the Offroad mode turned on when I decided to drive one wheel onto the curb, and at the moment when I overcame a section of the street with asphalt removed. By the way, unlike the pilot of the A5 Coupe, the driver of the A4 Allroad should not be afraid of curbs: the lower bumper covers are at a sufficient height. Of course, you should not assume that you can rush to conquer real off-road on the A4 Allroad. Still, there is a huge distance between the consonant concepts of Allroad and Offroad. But the car will cope with a broken grader without any difficulties, and the speed in such conditions can be kept quite high, counting, first of all, on the energy intensity of the suspension and excellent handling.
