To assist in off-road handling, Audi provides a brand-new Offroad method in the Drive Select menu that fine-tunes the throttle, transmission, and shift setups for severe surface. Not that you'll want to run the Rubicon in this car, yet it wants to be ready for when the snow piles a little expensive in Aspen or the antique armoire you're chasing after takes you down a rutted farm track.
