Need AWD traction without an SUV attached? Here are 10 great choices.
2010 Audi A4 Avant
There are three reasonably priced luxury brand wagons on this list, and the first is from Audi. This German manufacturer and all-wheel drive go together like sauerkraut and bratwurst thanks to the company's famous quattro all-wheel-drive system. It has also maintained a tradition of wagon versions of its sedans, even as many competitors have given up on them. The 2010 Audi A4 Avant is a prime example. Not only does it offer good cargo space (28 cu.-ft. behind the rear seat), but it comes with a fuel efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder powering all four wheels, and arguably looks better than the sedan. For a luxury brand it's not even all that expensive, with prices starting in the mid-$30,000 range. Best part? It drives, well, like an Audi.
