For most car lovers, Audi has always been –first and foremost- associated with sporty wagons. In fact, this reputation was born with the fierce Audi RS 2 Avant, manufactured between March 1994 and July 1995. This tradition is still quite alive since Audi Canada is currently offering the high-performance 2022 RS 6 Avant. However, for the last 20 years now, SUVs have been on the rise, earning more and more market shares with undeniable success. Audi noticed this trend a long time ago, and quickly began offering this type of vehicle for sale. Currently, SUVs constitute a full a large Audi vehicle range inside its broader model offering.
However, Audi has always been proud of its roots, to the point where moving away from them would be quite unthinkable. As a result, rather than abandoning its long tradition of wagons, Audi has opted to turn this type of car into rugged adventurers for different model lines. Today, the vehicles representing this type of wagon in Canada are the Audi A4 and the A6 allroad. Offering us such a wide array of options is amazing, but raises the following question: which one to choose?

Audi A4 allroad quattro
Let’s begin with the exterior styling of both vehicles. After all, it is the very first thing you will notice about the 2022 Audi A4 allroad and the 2022 Audi A6 allroad when you come and visit us in Blainville. One thing is clear: even if these two wagons belong to two different premium vehicle categories, they do undeniably share many common traits. Both offer the body lines you expect from the now-classic Audi off-road-ready wagon silhouette, which is traditionally as practical and rugged as it is elegant, with its higher ground clearance and black plastic fender covers protecting the wheel arches from rock and pebble projections. The 2022 A4 allroad, just like the 2022 A6 allroad, are more than worthy of their Audi name. In fact, they honor Audi’s rally roots, which are so important for the German brand, through their unique exterior amazing trail-ready look.
However, each one has a unique character. When it comes to the 2022 A4 allroad, it is smaller in size compared to its big sister, the A6 allroad. This gives the impression that it is ready to take on anything in front of it, whether the road is paved or not: intimidating Singleframe grille, chiseled geometrical headlights and fierce taillights all work to reinforce this feeling, with a design that openly flaunts its off-road skills. Just from its look and style, this compact Audi wagon screams loud and clear that it is ready and willing for anything.
The 2022 A6 allroad, on the other hand, is longer and more imposing; but do not, for a second, believe that this means in any way, shape, or form that its body traits are less dynamic.
