View Full Screen ADVERTISEMENT

HERNDON, Virginia — The 2016 Audi Allroad wagon will arrive at Audi dealerships this summer, starting at $43,625, including a $925 destination charge, according to a statement from Audi of America.

The price reflects a $300 increase over the base 2015 Audi Allroad.

The top-of-the-line 2016 Audi Allroad Premium Plus starts at $47,825, including shipping.

This is a carryover model with some upgrades.

The 2016 Allroad now features a three-spoke multifunction, leather-wrapped steering wheel as standard equipment.

Optional Advance Key (keyless ignition and entry) and Audi connect (WiFi, smartphone integration) are now part of the Navigation Plus package. The Allroad Premium Plus model with the Technology package now includes a Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Key Allroad competitors include the BMW 3 Series Wagon and Volvo's V60 and V60 Cross Country.

Edmunds says: Car shoppers who want an alternative to a conventional luxury crossover may want to consider the Allroad. The modest price increase should not be a concern to most buyers.

Google Car hitting the road this summer

Drivers of Mountain View, CA, you're set to be joined by something new and rather adorable this summer, as Google has been given the green light to test its self-driving car on public roads.

While the self-driving functions will be doing all the work, Google is quick to stress that safety drivers will always be at the helm, just in case things go very wrong. As a crashed self-driving car is terrible for public relations, Google's vehicles will also be limited to just 25 miles per hour as an extra safety precaution. So don't count on them clogging up the 101.

"We've been running the vehicles through rigorous testing at our test facilities, and ensuring our software and sensors work as they're supposed to on this new vehicle," the company said in a blog posting. "[The] fleet has logged nearly a million autonomous miles on the roads since we started the project, and recently has been self-driving about 10,000 miles a week. So the new prototypes already have lots of experience to draw on – in fact, it's the equivalent of about 75 years of typical American adult driving experience."

Provided this initial program is successful, look for Google to push to expand it in the coming years, raising speeds and expanding where the vehicles operate.Featured GalleryGoogle Self-Driving Car
