The Allroad isn’t easily categorized, so we’ll just call it a “classy crossover.” It’s obviously designed for navigating well-kept roads, but with all-wheel drive, high ground clearance, and performance settings that recalibrate the suspension, transmission, steering, and engine responsiveness to suit prevailing pavement conditions, “light off-roading is well within the car’s range.” If you’re looking for a “refined, interesting alternative” to the SUVs and sedans that fill today’s roads, this semitough wagon is “luxurious enough to make you forget that it’s practical.”
