The 2003 Audi Allroad is part of the first generation of the model, set in between traditional station wagons and upright SUVs. It comes equipped with a standard 2.7L bi-turbo V6 engine that produces 250 horsepower, coupled with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system is standard, enhancing the Allroad's off-road capability. There are two trim levels: the 2.7T and the more robust 4.2 which employs a 300-hp V8. The interior is plush, accommodating, and technology-filled, typical of Audi, with the optional Navigation system and Bose premium audio system. Notable safety features include stability control, brake assist, and side curtain airbags. The model’s adaptive air suspension, which can raise the Allroad's ground above that of most SUVs, made it an uncommon but competent choice for light off-roading.
