The Audi A4 Avant is about to leave the executive car park to head for the hills as the new A4 allroad quattro, a more agile and ruggedly styled interpretation of the acclaimed compact executive which makes its world public debut at the 2009 Palexpo Motor Show in Geneva on March 5th. The harder edged A4 opens for European order this week and will reach its first customers in May.

Covering similar ground to the popular A6 allroad quattro, the new rough terrain A4 adopts its tougher stance through a 20mm-wider track front and rear, a 37mm increase in ride height to 180mm and allroad-specific body styling, including a unique design for the grille and bumpers, wheel-arch extensions and additional under-body protection.
