What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

For The Allroad encompasses everything that’s good about an Audi, with extra versatility

Against It's dearer than the basic A6 Avant, but no more practical and not a fully-fledged off-roader

Verdict It's a halfway house between an estate and an off-roader, but it can’t justify the price

Go for… 2.5 TDi Quattro 180

Avoid… 2.7 T Quattro

Audi A6 Allroad 4x4
  • 1. Check the four-wheel drive system carefully: any problems will require specialist attention
  • 2. Clever air suspension gives the Allroad limited ability off-road
  • 3. The boot is enormous, so it’ll take family life in its stride
  • 4. Ensure recall work on the driver's side wiper was done
  • 5. Petrol engines are fine, but their running costs are unjustifiable. Always choose diesel
