Practical, stylish, and still fun to drive. When I use those terms that means I’m talking about a wagon. I love the long roofs, and Audi in particular makes some wonderfully choice examples. Their latest though, is a revival of the Allroad name. It’s based on the A4 Avant but it benefts from 7.1-inches of ground clearance and a bit of extra cladding on the fenders.
The original Audi Allroad rode on the A6 platform, featured adjustable suspension and a twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, and it was also capable of making it through the Land Rover test course. That’s a serious gauntlet laid down right there, and I am curious is the new version can rise to the challenge. What was the best way to find out? By getting dirty…

[Disclaimer: Audi let us borrow the Allroad for a week, and included a tank of gas. I proceeded to get the car filthy, and left it that way for a few days to scare off lesser wagons, boring crossovers, and crisp clean SUVs. I washed it before giving it back of course, but there was still some mud in the fenders and on the exhaust outlets. Sorry, Audi.]
