Order Allroad 2018 or 2019
Hello, I'm new here. I always wanted a wagon and I like the looks of the Allroad.
There are few color combination around me in stock that I would like, but I absolutely don't want the MMI/Navi - I prefer the analog dash and would use the CarPlay over Navi anyway.
I will be most likely ordering 2018 Allroad Premium with no packages. All of the cars in my area are pretty much loaded. Can I still order 2018s? Can anyone share prices paid for Allroad Premium?
I intend to keep the car about 8-10 years. Don't know how reasonable this assumption is, coming from Acura TL that never had an issue in 12 years.

I know you said you didn't want packages, but I recommend you look again at the Driver Assistance Package. Adaptive Cruise Control alone is an important safety feature (keeps you from getting too close, dramatically reduces driver fatigue, esp on long trips), but the Blind Spot Monitoring and Lane Assist are also valuable from a safety point of view. Unfortunately, with the 2018s, you have to go for the Prestige Package to get DAP, so it means $ $ $ , but I think you at least should consider as an investment in safety.
Not sure you can order a 2018 any more anyway, if so, options may be limited and time is probably running short. Perhaps the DAP will come with Prem or Prem+ in 2019? I haven't seen the 2019 build guide yet...
No matter what you get, the Allroad is a great car. Good luck!

Orders for 18's are still being taken, and will remain so for the next couple of months. The only cars you can order now through then will be cars with Navigation. They are not making non Nav cars for the remainder of the 2018 run. No word yet nor eta on 2019's and what those configurations will be
DAP will only ever be on a Prestige in an Allroad and those come with Virtual Cockpit and Nav only

I’m with you on the analog gauges and no nav. I have a premium plus without the virtual cockpit/nav and it was not impossible to find, it just seemed like maybe 1 out of 5 are ordered that way by dealers. They also seem to only order black on black cars, which is obnoxious, but if you try hard enough you’re likely to find something close to what you want. I have a scuba blue allroad with rock gray interior. It’s the only one I’ve seen from the b9 generation in the Denver area. I bought it sight unseen just because I knew which colors I like in the audi lineup.
The blind spot spot monitoring, parking sensors, and the auto emergency braking are all great features that come on the p+ trim. In ten years time every car will have these things, so it’s a good idea to future proof your car if you plan on keeping it for a long time. It’ll pay off when you trade it in too.
good luck!

I am very confident that DAP will be standard on all cars eventually--the features are too important. Right now, they are filtering down to VWs, and offered as options on configurations such as the low end S model of the 2018 Tiguan. So, DAP will get to Premium and Premium Plus Audis. It is just a matter of time.

I believe that the MkVII Golf gained both options later that year, but the Germans sure seem to take their sweet time offering functionality on anything below their flagship models.

Just to revisit this issue, I want to point out that now, just 18 months later, they are offering DAP as an option on 2020 A4 Allroad and A5 Coupe Premium Plus models. And I see it available as an option on other Premium Plus Audis. As I said before, the Driver Assistance features are way too important to have exclusively on the Prestige trim lines, and it is clear Audi and VAG agree.
