Well, it’s a sad thing that the A4 Avant is leaving the U.S., but at least Audi is bringing back the Allroad. The last Allroad was based on the A6 and disappeared when the Q7 was released. The new Allroad based on the A4 and rides on the Q5 platform, giving it about 1.5″ higher ride than the A4 Avant. Audi hasn’t released pricing info yet, but expect the Allroad to come in the normal Audi flavors (Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige) and carry a price tag a little higher than the A4 Avant.

Oh, and yes, the taillights are LED!

Here are a few more images of the new Allroad to whet your appetite before its arrival this summer:
