Roof Tent Audi A4 – the most Important Things in Brief

No matter whether you drive an 8E5, 8ED, 8W (B9) or older A4 B5, B6, B7 or B8 – your Audi A4 is ideal for roof tents. The fixed railing or a retrofitted roof rack system enable easy mounting, and with a roof load of 90 kg, both compact tents and larger hard-shell models for up to 4 people are easily feasible.
