ABOUT THE 2002 AUDI ALLROAD
The 2002 Audi allroad quattro is a rugged estate car based on the A6 Avant. It is powered by a 2.7-litre twin-turbocharged V6 producing 250 hp, with quattro all-wheel drive; this entry covers the five-speed Tiptronic automatic. It is an estate car rather than a true SUV, despite its raised stance.
What makes it different
The allroad’s defining feature is adjustable air suspension, which lets the driver raise the car for rough tracks or lower it for motorway driving, giving much more ground clearance than a normal A6. Plastic wheel-arch extensions and stainless-steel underbody protection complete the look. Manual-gearbox versions also offered a low-range gear set for off-road use.
What it is like
On the road it is comfortable, fast and practical, with a large load area and the security of all-wheel drive in poor weather. It was an early example of the “crossover estate” idea later copied by many brands.
Buying one today
The air suspension is the allroad’s biggest weakness: leaking air struts and failing compressors are very common and expensive. The twin-turbo engine needs regular timing-belt replacement and is prone to turbo and oil-leak problems. Budget carefully, or look for a car where these have already been addressed.
Rivals
Competitors included the Volvo V70 Cross Country and Subaru Outback.
