SytnerTV: The Audi A6 allroad

The new Audi A6 allroad combines the practicality of an estate with rugged styling, advanced technology and impressive comfort. But does it’s raised ride height and all-wheel drive make it just as capable around town as it is on longer journeys?

Matt explores the Audi A6 allroad Vorsprung, looking at its exterior design, interior technology, practicality and driving performance.

Audi A6 allroad: Engine and Performance

At launch, the Audi A6 allroad is available with a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine producing around 295 hp. All-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering come as standard.

The model starts at just over £70,000 at the time of filming, with the Vorsprung trim offering the highest specification.

V6 Diesel Performance

The 3.0-litre V6 diesel delivers a strong wave of torque, providing effortless acceleration of 0-62 mph in 5.4 seconds when needed. Matt highlights its smooth power delivery and relaxed character, which suit the car's comfortable driving experience.

Combined with mild-hybrid technology, the diesel engine offers a blend of performance and efficiency.

All-Wheel Steering and Everyday Driving

All-wheel steering is another standout feature. At lower speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels, improving manoeuvrability. At higher speeds, they turn in the same direction to help improve stability.

Matt finds this particularly useful when navigating busy streets, making the Audi A6 allroad feel more manageable than its size might suggest.

Driving the Audi A6 allroad: Comfort and Capability

Despite its muscular appearance and large alloy wheels, the Audi A6 allroad impresses Matt with its comfortable ride.

During his drive around London, the adaptive air suspension absorbs potholes and uneven road surfaces, keeping the car composed in challenging urban conditions.

The raised driving position also provides good visibility, while the mild-hybrid system helps the car pull away from traffic lights using battery power for the initial part of the journey.

Exterior Design: Rugged Styling and Road Presence

The Audi A6 allroad stands apart from the standard A6 with a wider, more muscular appearance inspired by Audi’s RS models.

Finished in Plateau Grey metallic, Matt’s Vorsprung model features:

• Matrix LED headlights and a bold front grille.

• Gloss black exterior detailing and rugged bodywork.

• Unique 21-inch alloy wheels.

• Pronounced wheel arches and redesigned side skirts.

• A rear light bar and distinctive rear bumper.

Its adaptive air suspension also allows the ride height to be raised or lowered, adding to the allroad’s versatility.

Audi A6 allroad: Boot Space and Practicality

Practicality is a key part of the Audi A6 allroad’s appeal. With the rear seats folded, the boot offers up to 1,500 litres of space, providing plenty of room for luggage and everyday essentials.

Its combination of estate practicality and rugged styling makes it well suited to a variety of journeys.

Final Thoughts: Is the Audi A6 allroad Worth Considering?

For Matt, the Audi A6 allroad gets the balance right. Its muscular design gives it real road presence, while its spacious boot, high-quality interior and advanced technology make it practical for everyday use.

The adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering also help it feel comfortable and manoeuvrable around town, despite its size.

Ultimately, the Audi A6 allroad offers more than rugged estate styling. It combines comfort, practicality and strong diesel performance in a package that Matt finds equally enjoyable to look at and drive.
