2015 Audi allroad Quattro (Review) - Business 2 Community
Most Americans seem to dislike wagons, maybe because the name conjures up images of a large vehicle with fake wood grain siding, vinyl bench seats that stick to your legs, a lazy-revving V-8 engine, and a body that wallows about in the turns. is still very popular. SUVs are gaining popularity but there are still a good selection of high performance wagons available, if you don’t live in the US. So onto the allroad in question…. it doesn’t have much competition, except from the BMW 3 series wagon. The 2015 Audi allroad Quattro is based on the A4 platform and is lifted by 1. 5 inches to give 7. 5 inches of ground clearance. Power is provided by the 2. 0 Turbo four used in the Audi Q5, providing 220 hp@ 6000 and 258lb ft @ 1500. Being 190lbs or so lighter than the Q5 the allroad has some get up and go and provides brisk if not scintillating performance. We took it on some truck trails in San Diego’s back country and it copes very well and the ride over loose bumpy terrain is very good. Traction in the dry (it doesn’t rain here) is phenomenal, we couldn’t break traction even on the steep bits under power. This was a fairly rutted section of road and the only way past was to traverse the deep ruts and hope we didn’t get stuck. The descent was just as easy and even on the steep declines the Audi was surefooted and comfortable. Source: www.business2community.com
