Shopping for a new vehicle can be exciting, but it can also be a stressful and time-consuming process. Finding the perfect ride involves a lot of research, especially when you’ve narrowed it down to a specific brand like Audi. Whether you prefer a stylish and elegant sedan like the 2023 Audi A4 or a luxury junior station wagon like the 2023 Audi A4 allroad®, making a decision can be daunting. But worry not! At Audi Columbus, we aim to make your car-buying journey hassle-free and enjoyable. That’s why we’ve put together this side-by-side comparison of the A4 and its more rugged sibling, the A4 allroad®, so that you can make an informed decision based on your preferences.
Design & Exterior Features
Both the 2023 A4 and the 2023 A4 allroad® offer standard dual exhaust tailpipes, heated side mirrors for those frosty winter mornings, and all-season tires to tackle the weather-worn roads of Columbus. The A4 comes with advanced line exterior and 17-inch 10-spoke design forged wheels as standard, with the option to upgrade to 18-inch 10-spoke-dynamic design, bi-color wheels. The A4 allroad®, on the other hand, boasts standard 18-inch 5-double-arm-V design wheels for a sporty look. Both vehicles feature full LED headlights and taillights with dynamic turn signals. However, only the A4 allroad® offers standard adaptive damping suspension for a more comfortable ride. Matrix-design LED headlights with headlight washers are available on higher trim levels of both the A4 and the A4 allroad®.
Comfort & Technology
When it comes to the cabin, there’s not much difference between the 2023 A4 and the 2023 A4 allroad®. Both models offer a three-zone climate control, supple leather seating surfaces, and heated front seats as standard. Additionally, a heated steering wheel is available as an option. With seating for five and ample cargo space behind the first and second seats, both vehicles provide comfort and practicality. And staying connected to the outside world is never a problem thanks to the standard MMI® infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touch display. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure convenient access to your favorite apps, such as music, podcasts, texts, and maps.
Performance
Under the hood, both the 2023 A4 and the 2023 A4 allroad® pack a punch with their potent 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engines. The A4 starts with 201 horsepower, which can be upgraded to an impressive 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque on higher trim levels. The A4 allroad® comes with the latter powertrain as standard. Both models feature a seven-speed S tronic® dual-clutch automatic transmission and the iconic quattro® all-wheel drive system with Ultra® technology for enhanced balance and traction. The A4 allroad® achieves up to 30 MPG on the highway, while the A4 offers 33 highway MPG.

Safety is a top priority for Audi, and the 2023 A4 and the 2023 A4 allroad® exemplify this commitment. Packed with advanced safety features, including an advanced airbag protection system and top-of-the-line driver assist technology, both models provide peace of mind on the road. Standard Audi pre sense® city helps prevent collisions and takes measures to keep you and your vehicle safe in case of an accident. Lane Departure Warning is included as standard, and higher trim levels offer additional safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Parking System Plus, and an innovative Head-Up Display.
