Audi A4 Allroad (2016-2021) boot space, practicality and safety
- Plenty of room for a family, plus extra storage
- 495 litres of boot space with rear seats in place
- Rear seats don’t fold completely flat
As a rugged, go-anywhere estate car, the Allroad needs to stand out in the practicality stakes. And while it does make for a versatile family car, it trails its rivals for outright space and roominess.
At 495 litres the boot space is generous, while the load area itself is well-shaped with square sides and useful pockets. Also, the tailgate is electrically powered and the load cover retracts automatically.
However, a Volvo V60 Cross Country offers a larger load area at 529 litres, while a more conventional and far cheaper Volkswagen Passat estate offers a huge 639 litres of space with the rear seats up. Lower the seats and a total of 1,495 litres is freed up, but the seats don’t fold completely flat, leaving a slight slope in the load area.
There’s a good amount of useful storage areas elsewhere in the car. The door bins are large and useful, there’s a pair of cupholders ahead of the gearlever and a tray area beneath the adjustable armrest.
