The 2022 Audi A4 Allroad is a unique vehicle, encompassing the interior space and driving characteristics of a wagon, but with the added ride height and off-road capabilities of an SUV. Of course, many readers will point to the Subaru Outback as just such a car. Still, the Allroad offers a level of luxury, sophistication, and technology the Outback cannot match.
2022 Audi Allroad Premium (starting at $45,500)
The 2022 Audi A4 Allroad Premium starts at $45,500.
The 2022 Audi Allroad Premium closely mirrors its namesake’s standard and available equipment, the A4 sedan. Powering the Allroad is Audi’s proven 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 261 horsepower and an impressive 5.5-second 0-60 mph time. The Allroad also comes standard with Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system.
When it comes to driver assists systems, Audi takes a novel approach, allowing buyers to decide how much high-tech intervention they want in their car. The base Premium comes standard with Audi Pre Sense Basic and City, which encompasses automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, and a pre-collision system that automatically tightens the front seat belt, raises the windows, and closes the sunroof.
Other safety measures include lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, a rear backup camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The Allroad includes complete airbag protection with front and front-seat side-impact airbags, plus front and rear side curtain airbags. Electric child locks for the rear doors also come standard.
A quick walk around the A4 Allroad reveals power-adjustable heated side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, aluminum roof rails, rear privacy glass, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and LED taillights with dynamic turn signals. The Allroad employs an adaptive suspension that automatically adjusts to varying road surfaces for maximum comfort and handling. It also features a remote power liftgate.
Moving to the Allroad’s cabin, we find an older Audi design, still pleasing to the eye but not as cutting-edge as some newer Audi layouts. Overhead, a massive panoramic sunroof fills the roof and includes a power sunshade for when you need a little less sun. The Allroad’s tri-zone automatic climate control system includes individual settings for the front passengers plus air vents and a digital temperature controller for the rear seat passengers. A tilt/telescoping steering wheel with shift paddles contains touch controls for Bluetooth and audio, with an illuminated stalk for operating the cruise control.
Leather upholstery comes standard in the Allroad Premium, with heated 8-way power-adjustable front seats with 4-way power lumbar support for the driver. The rear seats feature a 40/20/40 split-folding configuration. This design allows two passengers to ride in the back seat with the center section folding down for carrying items longer than the cargo bay allows. An analog instrument cluster with a 7-inch color driver information display is standard. Buyers should note this cluster should not be confused with the larger, more elaborate Virtual Cockpit found on the Premium Plus trim.
Just above the air vents and climate controls is Audi’s MMI Touch Display with a 10.1-inch screen. This large infotainment setup includes wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, and the Audi Connect app that provides a trial subscription to Audi Connect Care. With the Connect Care app, you can use your smartphone to lock or unlock the car, locate where you’ve parked your car, or allow law enforcement the ability to track your car should it ever become stolen.
The touch screen also displays the rear backup camera and numerous electronic systems such as the Audi Drive Select. Drive Select allows the driver to choose different modes controlling the throttle, steering feel, and shift points, with Comfort, Dynamic, Individual, Auto, and Off-Road modes.
Several often overlooked features standard on the Allroad include an auto-dimming mirror, built-in garage door control, a tool kit, and a compact spare tire. The integrated toll module replaces an E-Z Pass or whatever toll module is required, allowing you to clear the windshield of unsightly toll transponders.
Optional equipment for the A4 Allroad Premium includes the Convenience Package that adds Audi Advanced Key proximity key fob, which allows for unlocking doors and starting the Allroad needing only the key fob in your purse or pocket. Also in the package are auto-dimming and power-folding side mirrors, an alarm system with motion sensor, SiriusXM All Access, and front and rear parking sensors. A blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic detection, a heated steering wheel, and memory for the driver’s seat and side mirrors complete the package contents.
Standalone options include rear side-impact airbags, gray oak wood inlays, and various paint color upgrades.
With the $1,045 destination fee, the 2022 Audi A4 Allroad cost $46,545. On a 60-month loan at 3% financing and zero down, the monthly payment comes to $836. See 2022 Audi A4 Allroad Premium models for sale

The 2022 Audi A4 Allroad Premium Plus is now available, starting at $49,700.
The Premium Plus builds off the Premium’s standard equipment with features and technology we think most buyers expect from Audi. Seeing how it adds less than $5,000 to the bottom line, we’d pick this as the better trim.
Going with the Premium Plus get you the entire contents of the Premium’s Convenience Package, plus adaptive cruise control with stop and go ability, lane-keeping assist (keeps the car centered in its lane), and a wireless charging pad.
Audi’s very cool Virtual Cockpit comes standard in the Premium Plus. It includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with three modes: Classic, Sport, and Dynamic. The screen can also double as a virtual navigation display utilizing Google Earth overlays (requires a subscription to Audi Connect Prime).
The Premium Plus gets a top-view camera system that projects a 360-degree view around the car, allowing for individual views at all four corners. Also in the mix are two rear USB charge ports, LED headlights with signature Audi daytime running lights, and a hands-on detecting steering wheel that, among other things, can help assist the driver in emergencies.
Above the standalone options listed for the Premium, the Premium Plus offers a Navigation Package with MMI navigation and Audi Connect Prime and Plus. The Warm Weather Package adds ventilated front seats, manual rear side window sunshades, and sport front seats. A Bang & Olufsen audio upgrade is also available.

2022 Audi A4 Allroad Prestige (starting at $55,400)
The 2022 Audi A4 Allroad Prestige starts at $55,400.
The top-line Prestige includes all the standard and optional equipment found on the Premium Plus, then tosses in a few more goodies for good measure.
Unique to the Prestige is animation for the headlights and taillights, a head-up display, color interior ambient lighting, heated rear seats, and matrix LED headlights with washers. Audi’s Park Assist can automatically parallel or perpendicular park the Allroad, while traffic sign recognition monitors road signs to constantly display the posted speed limit in the driver information display.
