This all-wheel drive station wagon is based on the A4 sedan platform which adds more wandering capabilities. The “quattro” bit is Audi’s famed AWD system that switches between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
The 2.0-liter TFSI turbo-four cranks out 252 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque, which is sent to the wheels through a seven-speed “S tronic” automatic transmission with quattro all-wheel drive system. The EPA fuel economy is 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway for a combined 25 mpg. I averaged a little better than that with token off-road driving.
