2017 Audi allroad

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 allroad.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2017 Audi allroad is a passenger‑car platform that blends the practicality of an all‑wheel‑drive SUV with the refinement of a touring sedan, powered by a 5.5‑quart engine oil capacity and a smooth automatic (AM‑S7) gearbox. Its EPA rating of 23/28/25 mpg reflects a balanced efficiency for both city and highway driving. In the broader reliability context, the allroad’s single recall and a modest two owner complaints in this model year place it near the low end of the model’s historical complaint spectrum, suggesting a relatively dependable vehicle compared to the peak 104 complaints seen in 2002.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 Audi allroad marks a low point in owner complaints within this generation, recording only 2 complaints and 1 recall—a sharp decline from the 2015 peak of 29 complaints and 4 recalls. Federal data traces a steep downward arc from 2015 through 2020, with complaint counts dropping to 1 in 2018 and zero in 2020, positioning 2017 as an early point in this generation-wide reliability improvement trend. Technical service bulletins totaled 286 for 2017, down significantly from 736 in 2015 though higher than the 144 logged in 2020, indicating diminishing factory-identified service needs as the platform matured. The two complaints involve electrical/vehicle speed control systems and air bags/seat belts, with one crash-related incident recorded, though the data does not specify underlying causes. With minimal complaint activity, a single recall, and alignment with a declining trend of reported issues, the 2017 model year stands out as a sound candidate for a used vehicle purchase.
