2017 Subaru Outback vs. Audi A4 allroad: Design Comparison

Both the 2017 Subaru Outback and the Audi A4 allroad are wagons that seat 5 and are right at home off the beaten path. Both vehicles are equipped standard features such as alloy wheels and Bluetooth connectivity. While the Audi A4 allroad does offer more luxury at the base trim level than the Outback, it also comes with a far heftier price tag. In fact, a very well-equipped top-of-the-line Outback Limited still costs less than the base model A4 allroad but offers comparable luxury features. At every trim level, you'll find that the 2017 Outback is roomier than the A4 allroad, beating it in front head room, front leg room, front shoulder room, rear shoulder room, rear head room and rear leg room. The Outback also demolishes the A4 allroad when it comes to cargo capacity, with seats in place or not.

2017 Subaru Outback vs. Audi A4 allroad: Performance Facts

At the base trim level, the 2017 Subaru Outback features a 2.5-liter BOXER engine under the hood paired with a CVT automatic and all-wheel drive. When compared to the A4 allroad's 2.0-liter turbo engine, quattro all-wheel drive and 7-speed automated manual, the Audi has an edge when it comes to horsepower, but the Outback wins big in fuel economy. Consider that these numbers are estimated on regular unleaded gas while Audi recommends that you put only premium unleaded in the A4 allroad and the Outback is the far better value. The Outback also offers more than two inches greater ground clearance, can tow up to 3,000 pounds when properly equipped and gives you the option of a 6-cylinder BOXER engine at upper trim levels that puts it ahead of the Audi in horsepower and torque while still maintaining comparable fuel economy.

2017 Subaru Outback vs. Audi A4 allroad: Safety Information

Standard safety features that you'll find in both the 2017 Outback and the Audi A4 allroad include a rearview camera, traction control, stability control, multiple airbags, antilock brakes and all-wheel drive. You have the option of adding driver assistance technologies such as a blind spot monitoring system and collision mitigation at select trim levels along with emergency telematics. At the time of this writing, the 2017 A4 allroad hasn't been tested by the IIHS or the NHTSA. The 2017 Outback has earned 5 stars overall from the NHTSA and the IIHS has designated it as a Top Safety Pick.
