New Audi A6 allroad

New Audi A6 allroad

The new Audi A6 allroad makes a statement. Now in its fifth generation, the all-rounder is more striking than ever: its body, which is 11cm wider, alloy wheels up to 21 inches in diameter, and allroad-specific design elements give it an imposing presence. Equipped with adaptive air suspension, all-wheel steering, and quattro all-wheel drive, the new A6 allroad conquers any terrain. Whether with the 3.0-litre V6 TDI or, for the first time, as a plug-in hybrid, both powertrains are electrified for high efficiency and strong performance.

The Audi A6 allroad has been built with a wide body for the first time, making it more powerful and striking than ever before. With its body 11cm wider than the A6 Avant, large alloy wheels, and signature allroad design elements, the vehicle has a distinctive look. While the top of the body is sporty and elegant, the lower part of the A6 allroad reveals its rugged and practical personality.

Whether on the highway or a gravel road, the 34mm increase in ground clearance compared with the A6 Avant, paired with the allroad-specific adaptive air suspension, optimised all-wheel steering, and wider tyres, ensure confident handling on any terrain.

With a 55mm adjustment range, the standard adaptive air suspension offers a wide spectrum of off-road capabilities as well as a dynamic and comfortable driving experience on the road. This is supported by the more stiffly mounted progressive steering, which responds more directly and provides more feedback.

All-wheel steering makes this even more noticeable. It improves manoeuvrability and agility at low speeds by turning the rear wheels up to five degrees in the opposite direction to the front wheels. At moderate and higher speeds, the rear wheels turn up to two degrees in the same direction as the front wheels, increasing stability and steering precision.

In addition to excellent sound insulation, numerous comfort features enhance the in-car experience, four-zone automatic air conditioning, and an air quality package. The dimmable panoramic glass roof also provides a choice between a light-filled cabin and effective shading.

While the driver and passengers travel comfortably, there is space for luggage and sports equipment in, on, or atop the A6 allroad. Adjustable rear seats, the increased trailer load of the V6 TDI compared with the A6 Avant, and the roof rails with the optional roof basket make the A6 allroad an ideal companion for travel and outdoor activities.

All engines for the A6 allroad are electrified and feature quattro all-wheel drive as standard to combine performance and efficiency. Available for the first time, the A6 allroad e-hybrid combines a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 185 kW and an electric motor with up to 105 kW deliver a total system output of 270 kW (367 PS) and total torque of 500 Nm.

The high-voltage battery (25.9 kWh gross; 20.7 kWh net) enables up to 59 miles (combined, according to WLTP) of all-electric driving. The battery is charged by alternating current (AC) at up to 11 kW; a full charge takes about two and a half hours. Regenerative braking can be adjusted in multiple increments, and the hybrid management system offers an EV mode and a hybrid mode. A target battery charge level can be selected via the MMI.

In the 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine with 220 kW (299 PS) and 580 Nm of torque, Audi combines three electrified components: the MHEV plus technology with belt alternator starter and powertrain generator, which delivers up to 18 kW (24 PS) of additional power, as well as an electric-powered compressor for direct and fast response. As a result, the V6 TDI delivers powerful performance in every driving situation – whether pulling away, accelerating out of town, overtaking, or driving on the motorway.
