  Audi Allroad Quattro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Audi allroad Quattro was an Wagon crossover automobile produced by Audi from 2000 to 2006.
The allroad shares its platform with the second generation "C5" A6 Avant (station wagon), although an advanced air suspension, larger wheels with all-terrain tires and flared and unpainted bumpers give it a distinct appearance and more overall flexibility over varying terrain; Audi's quattro system is standard equipment.
Audi released the all-new Allroad in the summer of 2006.

 4Car Feature - Audi allroad quattro - from Channel 4
Audi was one of the first at the crossover party with its allroad quattro (first seen in 1998), establishing that there is a market for a car somewhere between a conventional estate and a 4x4 or off-roader.
The current allroad itself is near the end of its lifespan, however, and though Audi describes this car as a "concept" it's got to be a preview of the second-generation version.
Audi Lane Assist detects whether the car is drifting over the white lines on the road; it differs from existing lane departure warning systems in that it signals the drift via vibrations to the steering wheel, rather than the driver's seat.

 2001 Audi allroad quattro - The Car Connection
Audi launched the idea for the allroad quattro in 1998 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, under the thin guise of "testing public reaction." Sport-ute buyers had already accepted the Subaru Forester and the Honda CR-V, and many wondered why Audi didn't simply step into the market right away.
We drove the new Audi in Austria, from the Salzburg airport to the Schladming ski region.
Audi will build 20,000 allroad quattros, of which the larger part will be exported to North America.

At the rear, the A6 allroad quattro can be recognised by an underride protection made of stainless steel, large exhaust tailpipes and an aluminium-look trim strip in the area of the bumper.
The allroad mode provides a ground clearance of 175 mm; from 80 km/h and again at 120 km/h, the body is lowered by 15 mm and by a further 20 mm respectively.
The substantial ground clearance means that the Audi A6 allroad quattro is able to assert itself on rough gravel roads or on snow-covered mountain passes.

 First Drive: 2001 Audi allroad quattro   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The Volvo is allroad's natural competition, but, in keeping with Audi's quest for luxury stature, the allroad is infused with a number of technological as well as performance advantages, which should add up to greater consumer appeal.
Audi claims the allroad has two distinct advantages over its more traditional truck-like competition, the first of which is its twin-turbocharged, 250-horsepower 2.7-liter V6.
Audi is likely to shoehorn its 300-horsepower 4.2-liter engine from the A8 into the allroad at some later date, thereby tempting those with V8-envy.

As the Audi allroad quattro nears the end of its production life, the second generation of this successful model, due to be launched in mid-2006, is already eagerly awaited at the Neckarsulm plant.
The allroad quattro combines the advantages of an Avant with those of an off-road vehicle, thanks among other things to its standard quattro permanent four-wheel drive and air suspension with variable ground clearance.
The allroad quattro has picked up a number of awards over the years: in 2003 the readers of the specialist magazine “Off Road” voted it the best crossover of the year.

 Audi allroad quattro 2.7T Tiptronic --- MotorBar Road Test   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
AT HEART THE AUDI ALLROAD QUATTRO is a fast and luxurious all-terrain 4x4 estate that, true to its name, is masterfully at home on what by any stretch of the imagination one might choose to call a road — from Pall Mall to a treacherous trail through the jungle.
Marking out the allroad quattro from its purely road-going A6 Avant counterpart are rugged reinforced front and rear bumpers, a unique radiator grille design, pronounced wheel arches, contrasting ribbed roof, and ribbed stainless steel undertrays front and rear for underbody protection.
The allroad will do off-road whenever you ask it to, although I suspect that many owners will be perfectly content to use it as a clever, stylish and sporty road car that's one-up on the regular-bodied A6 Avant.

The allroad features an aluminum-intensive suspension housing with adjustable air dampers which allow for five different ride heights, two of which are catered to off-roading with much greater ride height (up to 185 mm or 7.2 inches more than standard ride height) for clearing obstacles.

 Audi Allroad Quattro
The marketing seems undecided with the car's name being `allroad' not `offroad' but the flier describing the car as a "dirt-munching all-terrain vehicle which fills the niche between a passenger car and an off-roader".
In other words, Audi is longing for a bit of the action with the the Land Rover Freelander Mercedes M-class, Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4 etc. "soft four wheel drives".
The allroad quattro is powered by Audi's 2.8 litre six-cylinder engine with no less than five valves per cylinder (my car's engine has more valves than yours, so there).

The Allroad looks like the kind of sensible car you could pick up the kids in, but thanks to a pneumatic suspension that lets the driver raise the car to a ground clearance of 8.2 inches, the Allroad is as competent off road as it is on the Interstate.
Audi's up-and-down Colorado test course, for example, was at times barely fit for a mountain bike, let alone a car, and the occasional patch of snow only made the drive trickier.
The tiebreaker is the adjustable ride height of the Audi--which translates as superior onroad handling--and the Allroad's more potent engine; the Volvo comes with a 197 hp five-cylinder that's slower than the Audi's six and delivers almost the same gas mileage.
