The Audi A6 allroad is back - here's what you need to know

The Audi A6 allroad is back. Returning to the Audi range after a four-year absence, the latest generation combines refined luxury, advanced technology, and genuine all-road capability. Building on more than two decades of allroad heritage, it introduces a bolder design, enhanced driving dynamics, and greater versatility than ever before. 

Designed to blend the comfort of a premium estate with the confidence to handle a variety of driving conditions, the new Audi A6 allroad offers effortless performance through a choice of advanced powertrains, including a 3.0-litre V6 diesel and, for the first time, a plug-in hybrid variant. Whether you are covering long motorway distances, commuting during the week, or planning a weekend escape, the A6 allroad is designed to adapt to the way you drive. 

So, what makes the latest generation stand out? From its distinctive allroad styling and advanced technology to its impressive practicality and confident performance, here is everything you need to know about the new Audi A6 allroad. 

Rugged allroad design 

The new Audi A6 allroad takes the elegant foundations of the A6 Avant and adds a more adventurous character. Its raised stance, distinctive wheel arch cladding, redesigned bumpers, and bold Singleframe grille create a confident presence that immediately sets it apart from the standard estate. 

Available with a choice of 19 to 21-inch alloy wheels, the A6 allroad delivers a purposeful stance from every angle. Optional Digital Matrix LED headlights and second-generation OLED rear lights create one of the most distinctive lighting signatures in the Audi range, while a selection of exterior finishes allow you to personalise the look to suit your style. 

Adaptive capability

One of the standout features of the new A6 allroad is its adaptive air suspension. Around town, it delivers the smooth, composed ride you would expect from a luxury Audi, while on rougher roads it can raise the vehicle to provide additional ground clearance and greater confidence when conditions become more challenging. 

Combined with permanent quattro all-wheel drive, the A6 allroad inspires confidence across a wide range of driving conditions. 

You now have a choice of two advanced powertrains. The 3.0-litre V6 diesel delivers effortless performance and refined long-distance capability, making it ideal for extended journeys and relaxed motorway cruising. For the first time, the A6 allroad is also available with plug-in hybrid technology, allowing many everyday journeys to be completed using electric power while retaining the flexibility needed for longer trips. 

Technology-rich interior 

Step inside and it is immediately clear that the A6 allroad has moved up another level. The cabin feels modern, spacious, and exceptionally well crafted, with a clean dashboard design that places the latest technology within easy reach. 

The interior centres around Audi’s latest digital ecosystem, featuring a curved panoramic display with an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen. An optional 10.9-inch passenger display provides access to navigation and entertainment features, while Audi connect services help keep every journey seamlessly connected. 

High-quality materials, ambient lighting, and a clean horizontal layout create a refined and welcoming atmosphere. One particularly impressive option is the panoramic glass roof with switchable transparency. At the touch of a button, you can control how much light enters the cabin, creating a brighter and more open-feeling interior. 

Together, these features create an environment designed for both comfort and long-distance travel. 

Everyday versatility 

Alongside its refined performance and all-road capability, the new Audi A6 allroad offers the practicality expected of a premium estate. 

Despite its premium feel, the A6 allroad remains every bit as practical as you would expect from a large Audi estate. Whether it is luggage for a family holiday, outdoor equipment, or everyday shopping, there is plenty of usable space. The boot provides 466 litres of capacity, expanding to 1,497 litres with the rear seats folded, making it equally suited to everyday driving and longer adventures. 

Everyday driving is also made even easier thanks to a range of optional driver assistance systems. Features including all-wheel steering, Park Assist Plus, surround-view cameras and adaptive cruise control enhance convenience whether you are parking in town, navigating busy traffic, or covering motorway miles. 

For even greater versatility, an optional electrically operated tow bar provides a towing capacity of up to 2,500kg.
