Audi A6 Allroad 4x4 3.0 V6 TDI Quattro 5dr

For Brawny 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel is a belter of an engine and gives the Allroad a strong turn of speed, coupled to excellent refinement and a near seamless automatic gearbox. Great tow car.

Against Standard manual gearbox offers little extra economy advantage over the auto 'box. More pricey than the A6 Avant and there's little to distinguish it from the cheaper model inside the cabin.

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

Allroad is a high-grade, high-class alternative to executive estates with some limited off-road ability. It's not cheap to buy or run, but it should last for a very long time and is well equipped.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Audi's A6 Allroad is a 4x4 for the squire rather than the gamekeeper but still manages to cut a dash in the countryside thanks to its subtle yet imposing looks.

It achieves this with a raised stance compared to a standard A6 Avant and protective plastic surrounding its extremeties. Inside, it's the same high-grade materials and excellent build quality as the Avant, along with masses of passenger and load space.

Every Allroad comes well equipped to help justify its higher price tag than an Avant. Air-sprung suspension on the Allroad is not good at smoothing out bumpy road and motorway excursions, but picks up on small imperfections more readily than an A6 Avant. However, the Allroad handles corners and tight city streets far more effectively than most of its rivals.

Pick of the engines is the 3.0 V6 TDi, although the 2.7 TDi is almost as punchy and refined. The petrols have very limited appeal due to economy and emissions.
