Overview & Reviews

The height-adjustable allroad debuted last year to fill a slot left in Audi's lineup by the lack of an SUV. For 2002, a heated multifunctional steering wheel with Tiptronic is an option, as is an OnStar telematics system. Standard is an in-dash six-disc changer. Brushed aluminum-finish accents spruce up the interior.

• Elegant styling, sumptuous interior, height-adjustable suspension, extensive safety features, lively V6 engine.

• Steep price tag, lack of a V8 engine, no transfer case for more adventurous off-roaders.

  On the rail and quick acceleration - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By ex-JPN-ITA driver - April 1 - 7:56 am

  The great satisfaction after one year ride. This purchase was the compromise of a sporty sedan and a SW, and perfectly satisfied the both. Remember, this is a near 2 tons weight of SUV-like wagon, but you can still drive it like a sport car on hwy or pwy. It goes exactly on the rail in almost any situation even with heavy rain or few inches of snow. Overtaking acceleration is excellent. (Use premium gas, that makes a difference!) The interior is chic and elegant with no complaints (for extra cup holders, use the openable sidepocket or the one under the rear seat). The build quality is definitely better than the same generation A6. Overall, the long lasting state of the art.

  Fully Mature, Past 100k - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By XCBIKER - March 1 - 10:00 am

  I am the third owner of this steroidal, German brute. This car was never designed to be a drag racer...so no need to treat it like one. Where this car truly shines is the open freeway and out in the open wild. Where can you get on-rail handling and passing power of a Porsche? Where can you charge down a snowy, dirt road at nearly 75mph with confidence? How about scale a 25% grade complete with ruts, roots and loam and not even break a sweat with wheel spin? Audi and its Torsen AWD is everything todays crossover/SUV owner wants. This car simply has Bentley comfort and Porsche performance. Is it worth the upkeep costs? YES. Life is too short to be driving dull, uninspiring cars!

  Who needs an SUV - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By chris sutliff - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Great car. Front end shake at 65-70mph I understand is a common complaint these days. Design flaw in wheels. Snow gets packed in them and causes the whole car to go out of balance and shake. Other than these relatively minor flaws, fast, fun, comfortable and the looks you get..Great Car.

  A Delight to Drive - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By Phoenix traveler - April 19 - 9:43 am

  We wanted SUV performance without the bulk. As occassional off roaders who spend many hours driving long distance freeway miles we were looking for a multi purpose car. The Audi allroad has more than met our expectations.

  Own one. Now. - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By cleetus - July 31 - 10:00 am

  The only complaint I have about the car - since I feel any review needs some type of criticism - is the lag in the Turbo. Compared to the A6 with the same engine, the allroads longer drivetrain and heavier body give the engine a split second lag off the line. Once you get going, though, the car is peppy, and so much fun to drive.

  Good at first, horrible, then great! - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By rawrrXD - April 20 - 3:50 pm

  I bought this car with 110,000 miles on it in spring in northern NH, ahem: MUD. awesome in it however, when the winter months came the suspension BLEW completely gone, and it was horrible, I had been told that it was common problem and goes away with warm weather, so i had it checked out, an air suspension sensor had fried, and was replace for roughly $300, had the timing belt done, and now it RUNS LIKE A CHARM, i love this car, i will always drive an Audi, perhaps something a bit cheaper to fix, but i <3 Audi of America. At an annual Audi owners of America banquet which i worked at and found all too ironic, i told them I drove an allroad, and many were jealous, i get daily compliments.

  Not without problems - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By WW - April 9 - 1:16 pm

  Extra wide fenders over tires make manevering a challenge; fun to drive, but MANY issues with engine and transmission. Additionally, tire wear much higher than average and fuel well below rating. All in all not sure I would buy another Audi. Not sure there is a significant advantage to an all-road over an A6 AWD.

  The Allroad is no Wagen - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By chipdaly - December 24 - 10:00 am

  I use to drive an A4 and then had my eye on the TT. I had one problem. I couldnt fit the kids in the TT. The next best thing was the Audi Allroad. My kids fell in love with it in the show room. Now when I go on trips we take the Allroad and leave the Windstar at home. Its too much fun to drive, so why leave it at home.

  Drives like an Audi ... but ... - 2002 Audi Allroad Quattro
  By forzajuve - January 26 - 11:10 pm

  I knew that by purchasing a used Allroad I may have had problems with the air suspension. but didnt expect so soon. Within 3 months I spent 1000 dollars per side (yes ... they are pricey). Then because the car is so heavy, I am experiencing problems with the ball joints (other common problem). Tire wear is abnormal. Overall it is a great car to drive, very comfortable ... but I wouldnt buy another one. The Volvo XC is much better option and without those expensive air shocks.
