Wagon Reviews

The Subaru Outback is the SUV for people who don't really want an SUV, and this review is here to answers every questions you've ever had about what it can or can't do.

The new Audi A4 ups both the style and the substance on the model it replaces, but the battle for the premium shopper's dollar has never been more heated. Has it done enough to lure buyers from Benz and BMW? Let's find out.

Ah, wagons. Remember them? The Audi A4 Avant is a particularly handsome example of one, too, and it will cost you $71,400 for the 45 TFSI quattro S line.Let’s start with the engine then - the 2.0-litre turbo will deliver 183kW and 370Nm, and a sprint to 100km/h in 6.0 seconds. It’s not lightning-fast, maybe, but the power feels plentiful for the nature of this A4.That engine pairs with a seven-speed S tronic auto, and thanks to quattro, you get AWD. Also new is a 12-volt mild hybrid system that can lower fuel use by up 0.3L/100km - now a claimed 7.1L/100km on the combined cycle. The Avant, or wagon, increases the A4’s dimensions to 4762mm x 1847mm x 1435mm, but also increases the cargo capacity to a considerable 495 litres with the rear seats in place, or 1495 litres with them folded flat.You can expect AEB with pedestrian detect, an exit warning system, lane change warning, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera - all of which contribute to the A4's five-star ANCAP safety rating.The high-tech stuff joins eight airbags (dual front, front side, side bags front and rear and curtains front and rear). You’ll also find LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, a new 10.1-inch touchscreen that's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto equipped, a smart key with push-button start, leather trim, three-zone climate, standard navigation, DAB+ digital radio, Audi’s Virtual Cockpit (a 12.3-inch digital display that replaces the traditional driver's binnacle), as well as sportier exterior and interior styling, frameless mirrors and illuminated door sills, and a better Audi 10-speaker stereo.

The allroad is the only vaguely off-road-focused variant of the A4, matching the wagon dimensions of the Avant a little extra ground clearance, some more rugged exterior styling and an off-road mode that uses the car’s traction and braking systems to deliver more off-road grip.It’s also the only diesel in the family, making use of a 2.0-litre unit producing 140kW and 400Nm, and will cost you $69,900.That engine pairs with a seven-speed S tronic auto, and thanks to quattro, you get AWD. The all road increases the A4’s dimensions to 4762mm x 1847mm x 1435mm, but also increases the cargo capacity to a considerable 495 litres with the rear seats in place, or 1495 litres with them folded flat.You can expect AEB with pedestrian detect, an exit warning system, lane change warning, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera - all of which contribute to the A4's five-star ANCAP safety rating.The high-tech stuff joins eight airbags (dual front, front side, side bags front and rear and curtains front and rear). You’ll also find LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, a new 10.1-inch touchscreen that's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto equipped, a smart key with push-button start, leather trim, three-zone climate, standard navigation, DAB+ digital radio, Audi’s Virtual Cockpit (a 12.3-inch digital display that replaces the traditional driver's binnacle), as well as sportier exterior and interior styling, frameless mirrors and illuminated door sills, and a better Audi 10-speaker stereo.

Whisper 'Audi RS 6 Avant' in a room full of car enthusiasts and the room will go silent. That's the type of attention this iconic car draws. Now the new-gen model is here and there's big expectations for this superwagon

Is the Passat 140TSI Business wagon just a briefcase on wheels or a great reason not to go for an SUV?

Choose a BMW 330i Touring and you'll be gaining things an SUV can't offer, but be prepared to lose a few positive points its high riding cousin possesses.
