Since Audi released the quattro full-time four-wheel drive system in the 1970s, four-wheel drive has become the key technology for the Audi brand to be based on BBA, as well as the brand essence of Audi.
Of course, I know that this statement does not work in China. After all, more than 90% of car owners who buy Audi in China choose the castrated version of the two-wheel drive model with lower price without hesitation. Therefore, the essence of Audi’s four-wheel drive is obviously not as good as the four-ring culture.
However, the key thing has to be said three times. The most popular Audi brand is always the four-wheel drive.
In the late 1990s, with the release of Audi Allroad, Audi also expanded the scope of quattro full-time four-wheel drive to the field of off-road, and at the same time led to the rise of the cross-border trend of station wagons. So, how wild can the Audi A4 Allroad be equipped with the quattro full-time four-wheel drive system? The following car may give a clear understanding.
On the whole, this fully off-road modified Audi A4 Allroad is obviously no longer a traditional crossover station wagon. The color of the body is painted with a more military-like khaki matte finish. The black off-road protection kit is no longer important for this car, so the wheel eyebrows, side skirts, and front and rear bumper lower guards all use the body. Same body color design.
The matching tires are all-terrain tires, and the suspension system has also been lifted and strengthened accordingly, which also makes this Audi A4 Allroad have a certain high-strength off-road impact resistance. The functional expansion of the top is also the key to strengthening its off-road positioning, adding a top frame, front and rear LED auxiliary light sources, and a pedal extension hanger on the rear tailgate.
In addition, in order to further strengthen the off-road characteristics, outdoor equipment such as side tents, all-terrain tires, sand boards, and spare fuel tanks are also hung above the top frame. Outdoor configurations such as fire extinguishers and ropes are mounted on the rear tailgate pedal extension rack. In order to achieve outdoor survivability, a dual-battery configuration is also provided in the car, and the intake and exhaust systems are also optimized in terms of power.
Overall, this is indeed a good off-road case for the Audi A4 Allroad. However, compared to traditional off-road vehicles, its suspension travel is still a bit too short. Off-road stance is still a bit awkward.
