2008 Audi allroad

Overview Information

Audi has revamped the AWD allroad, now based on the latest A6 platform. The new allroad is slightly larger than its predecessor is, and features a height-adjustable air suspension for different terrain. A choice of four interior colors, five seat fabrics plus leather, and wood or aluminum trim allows nearly endless customization. Audi offers a choice of powerplants, which include two gasoline and two turbodiesel engines. The familiar 3.2L V-6 (255-bhp) can be supplanted by the 4.2L V-8 (350-bhp), which is the first time a V-8 has been offered in the allroad. The V-8 accelerates from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.3 seconds. Turbodiesel options include a common-rail 2.7L V-6 (180-bhp) and 3.0L V-6 (233-bhp). Transmissions choices are a 6-speed manual or Tiptronic. Although the allroad will be sold globally, it is not clear if it will make it to the US.
