The '''Audi Allroad Quattro''' was an SUV/Wagon crossover [[automobile]] produced by [[Audi]] from 2000 to 2006. After a 3 year hiatus, Audi has resurrected the model and nameplate.  


== Model Information ==
See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.
The Allroad shares its platform with the second generation "C5" [[Audi A6|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]] has released a new Audi Allroad Quattro car for 2009.
{{-}}
===First Generation/Origins (2000-2006)===
[[Image:Audi_Allroad.jpg|thumb|right|350px]]
The allroad shares its platform with the second generation "C5" [[Audi A6|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's 2.7&nbsp;L, [[turbocharger|twin-turbo]] [[V6]] was available initially, alongside the 2.5&nbsp;L TDI [[Diesel]] engines with 132&nbsp;kW (180&nbsp;PS) and 370&nbsp;N·m (273&nbsp;ft·lbf) torque. A variant of the corporate 4.2&nbsp; [[V8]], shared with the A6 sedan, was made available in 2003, first in North America and later in other markets, and a less potent TDI followed in 2004.

A variant of the corporate 4.2&nbsp; [[V8]], shared with the A6 sedan, was made available in 2003, first in North America and later in other markets, and a less potent TDI followed in 2004.


The Allroad was designed with the capability to tackle rough road conditions in mind; its standard adjustable air suspension system can lift the car high enough to provide 21&nbsp;cm (8.3&nbsp;in) of ground clearance and a low-range mode, absent from other quattro equipped vehicles, can be selected with the touch of a button. When used in conjunction, the two systems made it possible for the Allroad to complete a [[Land Rover]] test-course, thus far it is the only car-based SUV that has been proven capable of doing so in testing. Conversely, the air suspension can lower the vehicle down to only 16&nbsp;cm (5.5&nbsp;in) above road level and simultaneously stiffen the spring and damper rates to provide a sporty driving experience much like that of the [[Audi S6]]. Many owners choose to fit their Allroad with a sportier, road oriented tire to emphasize it's sporty side, as most owners will never venture onto terrain rough enough to necessitate having a tire specifically designed for off-road conditions.

Sales had a slight increase in 2004, due to the availability of the less expensive Diesel engine, but fell again in 2005.  Audi stopped production of the allroad in July of that year.  Although the model continued to be available for sale throughout 2006 in Europe, there was no 2006 model year for North America.
 
Audi concentrated instead on launching the larger [[Audi Q7]] SUV, which shares its platform with the [[Porsche Cayenne]] and [[VW Touareg]], while a smaller and sportier [[Audi Q5|Q5]] will fill the niche of car-based SUV.  Audi announced in the spring of 2005 that a new allroad Quattro, based on the new A6 Avant (C6/F4), would enter production after 2007, and it is expected that this model will return to North America.

==The Future==
==External Links==


[[Audi]] are planning to release a new [[Audi Allroad Quattro Concept]] car in 2007/2008. The concept is powered by a new version of Audi's 4.0-liter V8 turbo-diesel and incorporates the original Allroads height level adjustment. With a brand new image, Infrared scanners ([[black ice]] detection), computer lane discipline aids and a more refined diesel engine incorporating [[common rail]] fuel injection technology, the Concept seems to have given the Allroad a promising future.

Audi has released a new Audi Allroad Quattro car for 2009.

First Generation/Origins (2000-2006)

Audi Allroad.jpg

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's 2.7 L, twin-turbo V6 was available initially, alongside the 2.5 L TDI Diesel engines with 132 kW (180 PS) and 370 N·m (273 ft·lbf) torque. A variant of the corporate 4.2  V8, shared with the A6 sedan, was made available in 2003, first in North America and later in other markets, and a less potent TDI followed in 2004.

The allroad was designed with the capability to tackle rough road conditions in mind; its standard adjustable air suspension system can lift the car high enough to provide 21 cm (8.3 in) of ground clearance and a low-range mode, absent from other quattro equipped vehicles, can be selected with the touch of a button. When used in conjunction, the two systems made it possible for the allroad to complete a Land Rover test-course, thus far it is the only car-based SUV that has been proven capable of doing so in testing. Conversely, the air suspension can lower the vehicle down to only 16 cm (5.5 in) above road level. Many owners choose to fit their allroad with a sportier, road oriented tire to emphasize it's sporty side, as most owners will never venture onto terrain rough enough to necessitate having a tire specifically designed for off-road conditions.

Sales

Despite this versatility and generally positive word of mouth from owners and magazine reviews, allroad sales failed expectations in the North American market it was originally designed for, and most of its sales came from Europe, especially its native Germany. Its somewhat high price, lack of market identity in its segment and Audi's ambiguous advertising seem to have been the primary contributing factors; buyers who tend to normally seek either the more car-like look and ride of station wagons or the larger, less ambiguous styling of mid-sized, truck based SUVs tended to reject the allroad as being too little like either.

Sales had a slight increase in 2004, due to the availability of the less expensive Diesel engine, but fell again in 2005. Audi stopped production of the allroad in July of that year. Although the model continued to be available for sale throughout 2006 in Europe, there was no 2006 model year for North America.

Audi concentrated instead on launching the larger Audi Q7 SUV, which shares its platform with the Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg, while a smaller and sportier Q5 will fill the niche of car-based SUV. Audi announced in the spring of 2005 that a new allroad Quattro, based on the new A6 Avant (C6/F4), would enter production after 2007, and it is expected that this model will return to North America.

Worldwide

If the vehicle is sold in other markets worldwide, then this is the section to mention that information. Also, mention if the <MODEL> goes by another name in these other markets.

Design quirks and oddities

The Allroad topped the 4WD category as the most secure according to the 2003 RACV Vehicle Security Rating with the score of 92 points out of 120.

Awards

List out notable awards that the model has recieved while in production. Boldface the company or organization that gives out the award, and Italicize the name of the award.
