Having made its debut in Detroit two months ago, the Audi A4 Allroad Quattro is now available for order in Germany.

Prospective buyers of the more rugged version of the Avant will have to pay €44,750 (equivalent to $49,900) in its home market for the base entry-level version.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter TDI, rated at 163 PS (161 HP) and mated to a 7-speed S tronic transmission. Quattro all-wheel drive is offered as standard across the range and so are the 17-inch wheels, higher roof rails, power tailgate and xenon headlights. Joining the four-pot diesel is a 3.0-liter TDI, available in two outputs, with 217 PS (214 HP) and 272 PS (268 HP), along with a petrol 2.0-liter TSI.

Compared to the A4 Avant, the vehicle benefits from a 34 mm (1.3 in) increased ground clearance, rugged underbody protection, a tweaked front end with a different grille trim and reshaped bumper, silver-colored rear diffuser and flared wheel arches.

Audi will bring the new A4 Allroad Quattro to the United States this summer, where the car will be available exclusively with the 2.0-liter gasoline burner, producing 249 HP (252 PS) and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of torque.
