4-level air suspension

4-level air suspension at the front and rear axles is standard technical equipment on the Audi allroad quattro. Thanks to ground clearance that can be raised as high as 208 millimetres and the standard quattro drive, this model can also negotiate difficult terrain. The total variation in ground clearance is 66 millimetres, with four ride heights that can be selected manually or automatically. Two ride heights are regarded as ‘high’, one ‘normal’ and one ‘lowered’. The automatic mode varies the ride height according to the vehicle’s road speed. Displays on the centre console tell the driver which setting is currently in use. Air suspension makes the Audi allroad quattro extremely versatile: since the ground clearance can be varied, it is not only suitable for off-road use but also for regular on-road driving.
