Created with the philosophy of combining everyday usability with off-road capability, the Audi A6 allroad is essentially an adventure-oriented version of the road-focused A6 Avant estate, which itself is based on the A6 sedan. It elevates the practicality of a traditional station wagon with increased ground clearance, rugged styling, and enhanced all-terrain capability, for long-distance touring as well as light off-road excursions.

Featuring an adaptive air suspension with a 55 mm ride-height adjustment range, the system can raise the body to improve ground clearance over rough terrain or lower it at higher speeds to enhance on-road stability and aerodynamic efficiency.

The A6 allroad is available with two powertrain options. The first is a plug-in hybrid setup comprising a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine, a 105-kW electric motor, and a 25.9-kWh battery pack, producing a combined output of 367 hp and 500 Nm while offering up to 95 km of pure-electric driving range. The second is a 3.0-litre V6 TDI diesel engine paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid (MHEV plus) system, delivering 299 hp and 580 Nm. Both powertrains come equipped with Audi’s signature quattro all-wheel-drive system as standard.

Compared to the Audi A6 Avant, the A6 allroad is 111 mm wider and 34 mm taller, while also featuring a 74-mm wider track, larger wheels, as well as wider tyres. In V6 TDI guise, it is also capable of towing trailers heavier than the Avant itself.

Additionally, the A6 allroad is equipped with all-wheel steering, Digital Matrix LED headlights, contoured individual seats with ventilation and massage functions, a four-zone climate control system, a dimmable panoramic glass roof, and a panoramic display comprising an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen. Buyers can also opt for a 10.9-inch front passenger display.
