For The Audi A6 Allroad is a cross between a premium estate and an SUV, with strong diesel engines, superb quality and a huge boot.
Against It’s pricey to buy and generates a little too much wind noise. A hard seat and raised central tunnel make life uncomfortable for a middle rear passenger.

The Audi A6 Allroad is a cross between a regular estate and an SUV. Every model comes with four-wheel drive, a 4x4-style bodykit and a little more ground clearance than a standard A6 Avant.

For us, the 3.0 TDI 245 offers the best combination of pace and running costs. Standard equipment is pretty generous, but we’d add the upgraded sat-nav system for the best resale values. It’s also worth considering one of the service packages, which allow you to pay a monthly fee for all your servicing, thereby spreading your costs.
