For the 2004 model year, the Audi Allroad adds a 300horsepower 4.2-liter V8 with 280 pounds-feet torque available between 2700 and 4600 rpm, to the mix. (The other engine choice is a 250 horsepower V6.) But this wagon is about a lot more than horsepower. There’s a height adjustable (via dashboard control) electronically controlled pneumatic suspension to provide 4 ground clearance levels as well as automatic load leveling – great for accommodating cargo weight or towing weight prompted rear end pull downs. Buyers will find an assortment of optional packages, including the $1,800 Infotainment collection, consisting of Bose Premium Sound System, person-to-person Onstar communications, and Sirius Satellite Radio’s commercial free selections (comedy, sports news and all sorts of musical flavors). The Audi Allroad Quattro is fitted with some smart features. Ever find that a car’s coat hanger hook isn’t quite sufficient in all situations? Well, this car provides pulldown hooks as well as sculpted hole area. You’ll also find a discreetly hidden (inside the rearseat’s center armrest) first aid kit. Choose the $750 warm weather package and get a solar sunroof and pull-up mesh sunshades for the rear side windows. From an overall perspective, the wagon scores well on steering, braking, sight lines, and comfort. Mile per gallon estimates of the Allroad Quattro with 4.2-liter V8 mated to an automatic transmission are 16 city/21 highway. MSRP is $46,950.
