Summary

The 2015 Audi allroad presents a mix of potential issues. While some are relatively minor electrical or interior glitches, the more concerning and costly problems revolve around the engine (HPFP, oil consumption, turbocharger), transmission (rough shifting), and suspension (wheel bearings, control arms). Addressing these major issues can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. While the allroad offers a desirable driving experience, prospective buyers should be aware of the potential for these more expensive repairs.
