Audi returns it’s wagon-like Allroad to the U.S. for 2013 after a seven-year absence. The new version still comes with four-wheel-drive but is also more efficient and quicker thanks to a new turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine that offers the soothing ride expected from passenger cars in the luxury class. Also available are a Google Earth navigation system and a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 14 speakers, which automatically adjust the volume level in response to the noise in and around the car. Audi Drive Select allows drivers to configure ride characteristics to their liking. The price starts at $40,000.
